MARY L DAYTON, ONE OF TOWN'S OLDEST RESIDENTS, DIES IN HER 84TH YEAR
Mary Landon Dayton, in her 84th year, passed away the evening of Nov 8th at her home in Bay View, Southold, on the ancestral land (1711) of her Bay View forebears. Her passing closed another door upon an era of Southold Town's life and history. To Southold, Mary Dayton was one of those representing the past whence the village and township sprang. Her maternal ancestors, Barnabas Horton, 1640, and Nathan Landon, 1685, a first and an early settler respectively, founded with the first English inhabitants, Southold. They were the progenitors of the two families prominent in the history of the town, county, state and nation.
Miss Dayton was one of the last surviving descendents of her branch of the Hortons and Landons. She was one of the oldest, if not the oldest of Bay View residents. Mary Mehetable Horton, dau of Silas Horton and Mary Landon, was her mother. George Warren Dayton, the son of Orrin Dayton and Mehetable Ruland of Speonk, LI, and descendent of Ralp Dayton, early settler of East Hampton, was her father. She was born to them Aug 25, 1873, in the "Robins Hollow" House, built in 1750 by Captain Barnabas Horton and where her mother was born before her.
Miss Dayton's immediate surviving relatives are her two cousins, Miss Martha Adams Thorne and Mrs Leila Thorne Stephens. To them and to those close to her in loving devotion and friendship, the sympathy of the Southold Town community is extended.
