SENECA HORTON, farmer, sec. 25, Wheatland Tp., was born in Athens Co., Ohio, 
Sept. 28, 1821.  His parents, 

Daniel M. and Anna (Kimball) Horton, were born in New York, of English and 
German descent, and became 

residents of Ohio shortly after their marriage.  Mr. Horton received a common 
school education, and at the 

age of 18 years went to Tioga Co., Penn., where he bought 100 acres of land 
and entered actively upon the 

career of an agriculturalist.  He remained five years, and in the autumn of 
1845 went to Middlebury, Tioga 

Co., Penn., and managed a farm in that vicinity.  In April, 1848, he sought 
another locality, going to 

Steuben Co., N.Y., where he purchased 70 acres of land and lived a year.  He 
then returned to Tioga 

County, sold his original farm and bought another in the same county, where he 
lived about 17 years.  In 

the spring of 1866 he bought 120 acres of land in native timber in the 
Township of Wheatland, where he has 

established a permanent home.  His farm now contains 58 acres, with 50 acres 
under tillage.

Mr. Horton was married in Tioga Co., Penn., Sept. 1, 1843, to Catherine, 
daughter of Daniel and Catherine 

(Wood) Buckbee, natives of New York and of English extraction.  She was born 
in Steuben County, May 1, 

1828.  Mr. and Mrs. Horton have three children:  Mary, born Nov. 23, 1844; 
Edward T., Nov. 19, 1846; and 

Daniel D., July 6, 1851.  The parents gave them a good education, and have the 
great satisfaction of 

knowing that all are in substantial circumstances in life.  Mr. Horton is a 
Republican and has held 

responsible offices in his district nine years.  Himself and wife are 
influential members of the M.E. 

Church.
