There was a large family whose ancestry goes back to Barnabus Horrton who came to New England in the erarly 17th century. Some of their\s family names were: Samuel, William, Constant William and John. The line from which I descend also lived in the same area and owned adjoining landto Samuel, was comprised of Amos Horton, whose grandfather, Daniel, was born in Virginia and Amos' sons, Jesse, Drewry, and Hartwell plus several daughters who married Peebles, Lavender and Slaughter husbands. Jesse was my gggrandfather and he moved to Alabama in 1824. He was born in 1777 ca. There is a book giving the histories of prominent Wake County families and it list both these families. Both families have descendents living in the area now. Good Luck in your search! Bill Horton (William Amos Horton)

What part of AL was Jesse from? He may be in the line I am working on.
