Thought that I would post my Horner dead end again. I am looking for the parents and siblings of John Hugh Horner. In the 1880 census it states that both of his parents were from NJ. I am currently working on an database of Horners in Ohio in the first half of the 1800's to try and find more info. He may be the brother of Sarah Elizabeth and Mariah Horner whe married into the Churchill family in Pike Co IL. A portion of his obit is as follows: Appleton City Journal January 15, 1903 Page 4, Col. 4 John Hugh Horner was the only son and youngest child of a family of nine children. He was born June 9, 1830, in Butler county, Ohio, in which state he spent his boyhood days. In his youth he came to Kinderhook, Pike county, Ill., and made his home with a favorite sister. August 28, 1856, he was married to Mary H. Kenady, to whom were born four children; the first born being a son, July 28 1857. In the spring of 1863 he moved to Hancock county, Ill., where his first wife died the same fall. Again he was married, February 21, 1864, to Caroline E. Campbell, in Davis county, Iowa, to whom were born 13 children. Just after the war he moved to Southwest Missouri, settling in Bates county, where he spent the remainder of his life, having lived about twenty-five years on one farm; hence he was one of the pioneer settlers of this section of the State. He was the father of seventeen children, seven of whom are still living. His second wife still survives him. He died at 8:30 p.m. December 31, 1902, being 72 years, 6 months and 22 days old. Any possible connections would be appreciated Thanks Dave
