Notes

Migrated to Black River, Morris County, New Jersey between 1748 - 1753.

Origins

The 1759 will and codicil of Caleb Horton names his children, but he only mentions his daughters by their first names, including Phebe. He also mentions one grandchild – Justin King. ( link)

Justus King, whose given name is sometimes recorded as Justin, was a son of Constant and Phebe Horton King. If Justus/Justin is Caleb Horton's grandson, then Phebe Horton King must be Caleb's daughter.

Also, Caleb Horton's will was signed in the presence of Richard Terry, Constant King, Joseph King, and Frederick King. Joseph and Frederick King were sons of Constant and Phebe Horton King. Richard Terry was Caleb Horton's son-in-law, the husband of Caleb's daughter Mary. It stands to reason that Constant King was also Caleb's son-in-law and that Joseph and Frederick King were Caleb's grandsons.

The codicil to Caleb Horton's will was signed in the presence of Richard Terry and Constant King. Neither the will nor the codicil contains the name Tuthill.

9. < First Congregational Church of Chester > - Our History. The beginning of the First Congregational Church of Chester, NJ. John Swasey and William King originally came to this country from England and settled in Salem, Massachusetts in the 1630s. There are many records in Salem to prove this, such as ship records, court records and church records. They both upheld strong religious beliefs and they came to America so that they could worship God the way they thought was right for themselves and their families. … The early comers to the Black River-Mendham area were highly religious. Those from Southold were strong Congregationalists, though the Southold church is, and was from the beginning, Presbyterian. The particular Southold families who immigrated to Black River were Congregationalists . Those from the Hamptons were strong Presbyterians. Before 1750, some of these eastern Long Island families were beginning to feel pressures of religious intolerance again. These strong, godly, independent and liberty-loving people had held fast to their ideals, in spite of adverse forces from within and outside their communities. They heard of fine lands in New Jersey, where there was a great concentration of kindred souls. Soon plans for another migration were under way. Constant King and Samuel Swayze, with their large families, headed west. The first site of the church was described as across Hillside Road from the cemetery, and we think that it most likely stood very close to where the road is now. Rev. Samuel Swayze, Jr. was the first pastor of this church and was installed in 1753. The list of names of deacons includes those of Samuel Sweazy, Caleb Horton, Samuel Coleman, Caleb Sweazy, Manassah Reeve, Nathaniel Horton, Barnibas Horton, Samuel Briant, Silas Reeve, Henry Burnet, Isaac Corwin, Jacob Briant, Isaiah Fairclo, and Israel Howell. Some of these worthies sleep beneath the crumbling brown stones in the adjoining church yard, but the good old Anglo-Saxon names go on in Chester to this day.
