Bit of information about Ananias Horton: In the 1862 Searcy County tax list there is an Ananias King, which I believe is Ananias Horton. Ananias King is in Co. F (Campbell Twp) of the 45th Ark Militia (Searcy County) from Nov 26 to Dec 20, 1861. There is also an Ananias King, age 17, in Wayne Co TN 1860 census, in household of S. A. King (Dist #8, Victory P. O.) He is listed last, just below a Benjamin King, age 37, who may be a brother (?) of S. A. King. Since Ananias (King) Horton claimed birth in Wayne County, TN, and family legend says that he went by the name King, there may be a relationship here someplace. Of course, by the time he enlisted in the 3rd Arkansas Cavalry (Union) January 1864, he used the name Horton. JJJ
It looks like from the rootsweb page by Daniel Harnden, that people believe Ananias Horton was the out-of-wedlock son of Mary "Polly" Horton (1823-1863) and a Mr. King. That would explain why he sometimes went by King. Mary was the daughter of Isaac Horton (1788-1858) who immigrated from New York to Tennessee to Searcy County. Here's that family tree again: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2937955&id=I67133 - Heather http://hblair.uchicago.edu/ On Sun, 13 May 2007, James Johnston wrote: > Bit of information about Ananias Horton: In the 1862 Searcy County tax > list there is an Ananias King, which I believe is Ananias Horton. > Ananias King is in Co.
