Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BBk.2ACIB/1997.1.2.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Hello Cousins, I descend from Isaac Horton, also listed as a son of Daniel Horton, and found next to him in the 1830 Greene Co. census. Isaac married Margaret Martin, d/o Joseph of Washington Co., in 1810 in Greene Co. TN. Recently I had the opportunity to do about a half day of research at the Washington County library in Jonesborough. It wasn't anywhere near enough time! I DID find that Daniel Horton & Jesse Mullins (who bought the land jointly late 1790s) had re-entered their deed of land purchase from Hugh Blair ca 1830 (deed under pile of boxes). From the Washington Co. deed book abstracts it appears that the original deed book was lost. I assume that this deed, which I copied, was re-entered prior to some sort of distribution of the land, perhaps Jesse Mullins move to Missouri. I copied the deed, the library close, and I had to begin my trek back to northern Va. So on my to-do list is (a) to try to find followup in later deed books under either Daniel Horton or Jesse Mullins name, which may have some explanation, (b) depending upon the latter if there is no sale of land found, to try to find an estate settlement record in Washington County (which I did for Isaac Horton in Greene Co.) with a distribution among heirs, deed selling the land by the heirs, etc. and/or (c) examine what appear to be several records in McMinn County for Daniel Horton probate, as he died there. Since he lived with son Daniel Jr. at his death (I've been to their house, cemetery), I am assuming he had no property there, so the more likely place for settlement info is Washington County. There are also 1810s Washington Co. tax lists in a book at DAR I hope to go through, which perhaps might note some of the younger sons. There is a a list of probate records at the McMinn County website, with several Daniel Hortons, one or more probably being Jr. At the McMinn County library, I spent about 30 minutes in 2001 (all the time I had) trying to find some probate for Daniel Sr., but the microfilms were very confusing to navigate and I wanted to get to the house/cemetery before I lost my light. Has anybody combed the Washington County estate settlement films (which do exist), or looked at the deed books for the 1830s/1840s/1850s to see the disposition of the land. IF the land wasn't sold, it would have been divided evenly, BUT this could have occured years and years later. I have a 2g grandfather Henry Bird, who died intestate in 1876. His wife didn't request her dower until 1892, and the heirs didn't deal with the rest of the land until 1914! Some TN counties (ie, Robertson) have something called "equity" deed books that record bequests between related individuals. IF, as I fear, Daniel Horton & Jesse Mullins sold the land jointly before either died and distributed the money to their children and/or for their own use, we will have to continue to rely upon the recollections of William Gardner Horton in the sketch referred to earlier in this chain, and which I have inserted below as I found it in Daniel Horton's DAR file. FYI, I have his Rev. War pension, but haven't looked at it for several years. My recollection is there are no children mentioned though, sadly. Separately, I have wondered if maybe Jesse Mullins might be wife Arminta's son by a first marriage. Anybody looked at the Mullins info? So, I'd say we have from the sketch about as good proof for the children of Daniel, if not better, than we do for the children of Abraham Horton, who died without property or a will. Unless someone has found court documents for Abraham's children as well, or tax lists (which I haven't looked at yet). Regarding when Daniel Horton came to Washington County, he is still in NC (Stokes) in the 1790 census, and doesn't show up on Washington County tax lists until the late 1790s. Here is the sketch & Daniel Horton's obit, in case any of you don't have it. FYI, the DAR application supporting documents file only has this info as "proof" of his children. But it's been several years since I have looked at it. There might be more if more members have joined on his name. I am also appending a synopsis of his Rev. War pension sent to me by another researcher, Sheila, in which case I apologize that I can't give proper credit. Sevier and McDowell more or less joined forces for King's Mountain, Cowpens, etc. Best Regards, Janet Hunter Obituary of Daniel Horton Sr., 1839 McMinn Co TN, Daniel Horton, Sr. ANOTHER HERO of the REVOLUTION GONE (From the Hiwassee Patriot, 8-29-1839) "Died at the residence of Daniel, Jr. in this county, on the 18th inst., Mr. Daniel Horton, Sr. in the 87th year of his age. Mr. Horton was a native of Pennsylvania, and after undergoing the fatigues and privations consequent on several campaigns in the war that secured to us our liberty, he moved to Washington Co., Tenn. where he remained until the last five years, after which he came to this county to terminate a life spent in honesty and usefulness among his children. He died in full assurance of a blessed immortality." This was a typed copy and reads "obtained from Miss Emma Sue Williams, Athens Hist. Society, Athens, Tenn." __________________________ THE HORTON FAMILY Written by William Gardner Horton and copied by H.C.P. Horton, June 12, 1906 (This is a copy of a small note book owned by Helen Horton Warner, daughter of Walter Horton and granddaughter of H. C. P. Horton. This typed copy is made by Margaret McCallie Moore, daughter of Julia Elizabeth Horton McCallie, and granddaughter of H.C.P. Horton. The original copy is in the beautiful handwriting of H.C.P. Horton.) The traditional history of the family of Hortons to which I belong, as handed down to me by ancestors, is that they were of Scotch Irish descent and came from Scotland to the U.S. or to the colonies in the early part of the 16th (sic) century and settled in Mass., some of them later going to Penna., and of this family, some went to Ohio, one of the sons going later from Penna, going to the Yadkin river valley of N. C., near where the town of Monoir, N. C. is now located. He raised his family here. Of this family came my grandfather Daniel Horton, who sometime prior to the Revolution, moved to what was then Washington Co., N.C., but now Washington Co., Tenn. During the Revolution he enlisted under the command of Col. Sevier and served under him in Quite a number of battles, among them being The Cow Pens and The Battle of Kings Mountain at the latter place his horse was shot from under him and a British bullet cut off his cue – or queue- or hair which! was then worn long and tied at the back of the head. He remained in the Army until the close of the war and soon after his return home he married Miss Mullins. I must here relate an incident of the battle of King's Mountain which I have often heard him relate. In passing over the battle field he picked up a hone or stone used for sharpening rasors, which was supposed to have been the property of a British officer, perhaps the commanding General himself. This hone was left at the death of my grandfather to my father at his death it came into my possession and I have it now, March 1892, and prize it very highly as a memento of the Revolution as well as in remembrance of my grandfather. The said Daniel Horton was the father of eight children, six sons and two daughters, to wit: Isaac, William, Patsy, Rebecca, Daniel, Jesse Mullins and Soloman, and Hiram. Isaac Horton Married and raised a family in Green Co., Tenn. William was in the war of 1812 and was in the Battle of New Orleans with Gen. Jackson Jan. 8, 1815. Daniel, my father married Mary Needham near the French Broad river about five miles above Knoxville, Tenn. Her father was Garner Needham. I never saw my grandfather as he moved to West Tenn. Then known as the Western District, soon after my father’s marri! age. My father and mother moved to Washington Co., Tenn, where they lived until 1832 when they moved to McMinn Co/Tenn. in what was then known as the Hiwassee Purchase. My father's family consisted of 5 children. Viz: Elizabeth, Arminta, Ann Matilda, William Gardner, Hiram Columbus Porter and Joseph Marriow. Elizabeth married Henry M. Roberts. Anna M., the second child married Peter Lenoir Bryan. To this union was born three daughters and five sons. Suppliment to the history of the Horton Family by H. C. P. Horton, now of Sweetwater, Tenn I too have a relic of Grandfather Horton's. It is a steel link which he carried in his pocket for the purpose of striking fire. My recollection of the Battle of King's Mountain is that he Marched on foot over the head of his fallen horse. After the battle, grandfather went back to where his horse had fallen to get his saddle and much to his agreeable surprise his horse was up grazing, he had not been seriously hurt but wh7at is sometimes called "crazed". My father, Daniel Horton donated the ground for the Cumberland Presbyterian church and bore most of the expense of building it. DANIEL HORTON PENSION ABSTRACT Daniel Horton b. c1752 d. 18 August 1839 m. Min (Arminta) Mullins While residing in Burke County, NC, Daniel Horton enlisted about 1780 under Capt. John Dobson and Col.

Hello Bruce: My name is Garland Horton (Luther G., Jr.), one of the DNA matches. I descend from Amos Horton, Sr., b. abt.1710 in VA, d, abt. 1791 in SC, and m. Sarah Peebles. My direct descendancy chart follows below. Our lines are very different, yours traced back to Barnabus, mine to Amos, whose father we believe to be the English immigrant, Daniel Horton, b. abt.1660, d. abt. 1718 in VA, m. Martha Timms, daughter of Amos Timms. Early in my research, I thought that Barnabus was my immigrant ancestor, due primarily to the data contained in the book, "The Hortons in America", which I, and many others, have found to be inaccurate and erroneous as it pertains, especially, to the Southern lines. Hopefully, we'll get this matter resolved one of these days. You have in your line a Charles Manoah Horton (1814-1883), son of Amos (1778-1860), the son of William (1758 NY/d.?/SC). I have just Manoah Horton, same b&d dates, same info on his father, but we differ on the GF, William Horton, who I have as b. abt.1749 in VA, (son of Amos, Sr) d. 18 July 1834 in Lancaster, SC, and m. to Elizabeth Brewer. I also have Manoah married on 10 October 1836 to Catherine Bugg in Williamson Co, TN, and her pod as Franklin Co, TN. Please let me know if we agree on this bit of info. I look forward to hearing back from you, and getting the comments this will generate from our many "Cousins".
