Origins of his wife, Phebe Horton

We don’t know. Perhaps she was related to Caleb Horton, but she wasn’t his daughter. His daughter Phebe married Constant King and died in New Jersey. This Phebe died in Long Island. Nor is Henry Tuthill or any other Tuthill mentioned in the will of Caleb Horton (link).
