HALLOCK, Mary - HORTON, Joseph

The Mary Hallock who is reputed to have married Joseph Horton is a daughter of William Hallock. William Hallock may be the immigrant, or may be the son of a mysterious, undocumented father, named Peter Hallock. This marriage is even carried in Torrey, although, as far as I know, it is based on tradition only. This daughter is shown as Margaret in the Hallock Genealogy, which is in error, as William Hallock's will clearly calls her Mary, not Margaret. Unfortunately, he only called them by first names, not married names, if they were even married at the time he wrote his will. You can see more about the Hallock Family History, as well as Barnabas Horton's Family History, here:

"HORTON The surname Horton or Orton was originally taken from a place name, and is one of the oldest in England. Thomas Orton or Horton was an early settler at Charlestown, Massachusetts, a ship carpenter by trade. He was appointed by the Charlestown selectmen to ring the bell on the meeting house, April 12, 1650. His home was on Bow street, and he sold land in Charlestown in 1678 to B. Mirick. He died there May 19. 1687. He married Mary Eddy, who was admitted to the Charlestown church April 12, 1650, and died September 13, 1693.

____________"(I) Thomas Horton, of Welsh ancestry, according to family tradition, was a relative of Thomas Horton, of Charlestown, mentioned above. He settled in Milton, Massachusetts, formerly Dorchester, as early as 1669. His first wife Sarah appears to have been a member of the church at Braintree, where her son Thomas was baptized in 1677. Thomas Horton married (second) at Milton, December 25, 1693, Susannah Keney. His sons settled at Milton and Rehoboth, and he was doubtless the progenitor of all the Rhode Island Hortons of colonial days. Children, born at Milton, by first wife: Rachel, August 6, 1669; John, June 6, 1672, settled in Rehoboth; Thomas, October 3, 1677; David, mentioned below; Solomon, January 11, 1782, lived at Milton and Rehoboth; Esther, married at Rehoboth, April 10, 1701, Benjamin Viall. Perhaps other children."
