Betty, I have little additional information on the Horne family directly. Most of what I know originated with Bess Vaughn Clark's book. I too would like to understand where they went after leaving the Marion area. My direct line, Gideon Allen, left Marion in February of 1845 and relocated to Louisiana. He had quite a bit of property in Twiggs according to the 1840 census. I'm interested in how he acquired the property and who he sold that property to along with the Horns. Neither family received any draws from the Land Lottery the best I've been able to determine. While I'm on the topic, Gideon Allen is my dead end. I believe his father was John Allen who shows up on the census in Twiggs in 1830 and other records indicate that he was in Twiggs County as early as 1821. Age and location to other Allen's living next to one another including Gideon Allen all fit into one neat family unit. I have seen the records of the Richland Baptist Church and have been able to establish that Gideon and his brother Green Allen left the church (with a Letter of Dismissal" in preparation for their move in Nov of 1844. Gideon turns up again in Bossier Parish, LA in Feb. 1845. Not sure what happened to Green Allen. I've lost him in the move. Not sure where John Allen came from. Believe it was NC. Not sure when he came to Twiggs, but believe it was before 1821. Have records of the Horns in Twiggs as early as 1813. I know that they came from Edgecomb County, NC. Perhaps the Allens did as well, however I have not found any evidence that this was the case. Sorry for the rambling email. If ANYONE on the list has ANY information on John Allen, Gideon Allen, or the Horn family, I would be very grateful in communicating with you to share information on these families.
