Azariah Horton was a missionary among Long Island Indians from 1741 to 1750. He kept a very interesting diary of his labors from day to day, a part of which is published in Prime's History of Long Island. In 1751, he was installed pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Bottle Hill, now Madison, N. J. In Nov., 1776, at his own request, he was dismissed from his charge, and on 27 March, 1777, he died. He was an active and faithful minister, and he was one of the prominent men in founding the College of New Jersey. His wife kept a store at Bottle Hill. She was an energetic and successful business woman—active in the work of the church and highly esteemed. About 15 or 20 years ago, some unknown gentleman came to Madison and put up a very pretty monument at the grave of the venerable Azariah Horton. We are indebted to Mrs. Cuyler, mother of the Rev. Dr. Theodore S. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, for the above facts. She being a grand-daughter of Jacob Morrill, Esq., and great-grand-daughter of the Rev. Azariah Horton. Children, all born in Southold: 1.
