Phoebe (Horton) King - Daughter of David Horton, Caleb or William Horton?

Long discussion/ argument for Phebe Horton (of Caleb) as wife of Constant King, with Phebe who married Henry Tuthill as an unplaced Horton of Long Island. She ancestral to Pres. Harrison so there may be answers in his (vetted) genealogy.

I’m going to upload to the Constant King profile as it carried a long register report of descendants, and that’s useful.

I believe I have found the evidence, not just logic argument, supporting that Phebe Tuthill was not the daughter of Caleb Horton & Phebe Horton and that their daughter was the wife of Constant King

In other words, we need to switch out Phebe King with Phebe Tuthill, but sadly, we don’t have parents for Phebe Tuthill. And, it’s in the Presidential genealogies, and Horton / Terry extends the Harrison line back quite a bit. So we need to make sure it’s clear.

1759 - will of Caleb King of Roxbury, Morris County

Here’s at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9718590/phebe-king with confused fields but good text.

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.

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.

We also need to detach Richard Horton who married Elizabeth Horton as son of Caleb Horton. This is from the author of “In Search of Barnabas Horton”:

I won’t keep you in suspense. Team Caleb via Richard descended from a Pennsylvania Quaker of unknown origins! Team Jonathan’s sample matched those of Team Joseph. The sample from Team Caleb via Elijah matched those of Team Joseph, but did not match my husband’s sample, Team Caleb via Richard. And Team UK’s sample matched those of Teams Joseph, Jonathan, and Caleb via Elijah, but not the sample from Team Caleb via Richard. My husband’s team had struck out. Science proved he and others on the same team had no genetic connection to Barnabas Horton of Southold. Instead, Team Caleb via Richard descended from a Pennsylvania Quaker of unknown origins!

This is complete.

To recap:

Phebe Horton, parents unknown, married Henry Tuthill. They were the grandparents of the 9th First Lady of the United States and raised her on Long Island.

Phebe Horton, daughter of Caleb Horton & Phebe Terry, married the hatter Constant King. This entire group migrated from Long Island to Morris County, New Jersey.

Beware! The traditional genealogies, as recent as 1989, do not have this interpreted correctly.

I enjoyed this read, which describes the migrations from Southold, Long Island to Morris County, New Jersey. Including the first Protestant ministry to West Florida (now Mississippi).

DAR for Constant King is here. The error is with Justus King’s wife.
