Biography

Jane (Budd) Horton immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).

Jane Budd was baptized 24 Jun 1633 at Saint Pancras, Chichester, England, daughter of John Budd^{[1] [2]} and Katherine Butcher.

note: christening record only names father.

She emigrated with her parents and siblings by 1639. They settled initially in New Haven, Connecticut, before moving to Southold. ^[3]

She married Joseph Horton, most likely in Southold, New York about 1650 when both the Horton and Budd families were living there. If she was between 17 and 22 when she married that would put a marriage date between 1650 and 1655. Their children are likely all born after 1650.

Joseph was a freeman of New Haven Colony and was granted a house lot in Southold where he was given permission to operate a mill.

The family relocated to the Connecticut Colony's most western frontier with Jane's father, John Budd. Here Joseph became a proprietor of Rye and sold most of his land holdings in Southold in 1665. ^[4]
