Janet, thanks so much for taking the time to post the information about Daniel. I also have a copy of his pension application and you are right, no children are listed. The portion you sent from The Horton Family book by William Gardner Horton is very helpful. I have been trying to get ahold of somebody/anybody at the McMinn Historical Society to see if I could beg and bribe them to copy the information from the book concerning Daniel's children. I was told several years ago that a copy of the book is there. I figure this is as close to real proof that I'm going to be able to dig up......at least at this time. By the way, my Solomon went to Greene Co, Mo. He is listed on the 1860 census with his wife living next to two of his married daughters. In the 1880 census his is listed as a widow living with his daughter Sarah (Chamlee). Where did Jesse Mullins go to in MO? Lots of McMinn people ended up in Greene Co., MO I haven't figured the reason for the move...word of mouth, who knows. Another researcher has that my Solomon and his wife died in Wright Co., MO. I don't have that info, not sure where it came from but am in the midst of trying to look at the records in that Co., that I can online. I have assumed that they died in Greene Co, Mo but haven't found a gravesite yet...still looking. Thanks for the help. Cindy Klein
