Bill, Guess what , It is all the same family. We are triple cousins. LOL I descend from both sides and have proven that they are the same family. The information about Barnabus is not proven but the connection of David Horton of Wake Co who died in 1784, who fathered Constant William, David jr. et al. has been proven to descend from Daniel of Nansemond County also. Amos Horton 11 who left Kershaw SC and settled in Wake Co was David Horton's of Wake county who died in 1784, first cousin. David Horton's father was Joseph who was Amos Horton 1's brother. It is documented in land transactions and wills. Hope you come to the "Tick Feed" in Green County Alabama this year on March 14. Many of us are staying at the Courtyard hotel in Tuscaloosa.
