Patty - overnight I think I see an omission in the line of your pedigree. James Horton's father was Reuben Horton (I believe), and his father was the Reuben Horton, s/o Anthony and Rosemond Duncomb - so we don't know who James' mother was - that's a blank. So the date I calculated for Reuben Jr was probably close to Winfred Preston's - c 1797. Reuben gave his consent for James to marry Winifred which probably means he was under age. So there was no other wife for James Horton - I guess. However, the marrriage record - Warren Co. KY - should clarify that fact if it can be located and the date was 13 May 1813. The DNA seems to show that our basic facts are about right. His (James') siblings were Nancy Horton b c 1793 and Mary Horton b c 1795, no place mentioned).Rueben Horton, Jr. was born c 1773 mouth of Wheat's Creek, on Green River, Rutherford Co., NC. The only problem I can see with the paper trail - is do we have the correct James Horton as you ancestor and that's probably what needs to be clarified. We will try to get at the bottom of this next month at the Horton Gathering in Nashville. There is a lady in St Petersburg, FL who is knowledgeable about this family and I will contact her today for further information. Perry
