Hi All: Does this Horton gathering mostly just pertain to those Horton's whose lines are in the South? I myself love the Carolinas but have no Horton relations that I know of that went that way. I'm still stuck in Southold area of New York with my Gilbert Horton b: about 1830. Can't yet connect him to Barnabus. All of my Hortons are from New England area. Do you believe that in the future there will be a Horton gathering in Long Island? Debbie Horton M. South Florida

Debbie, This Horton Gathering is a once a year gathering of any Hortons in the U.S. and anywhere else. The majority of the members of the Horton Family Association are descended from those in the southeast. However, we have members that descend from Hortons from the north and midwest. Not all of us are connected, but we do enjoy sharing our finds with each other and also visiting historical sites, especially those pertaining to the Revolutionary War Era. Some of our members are from Ohio, Michigan, Texas, California, Illinois, Washington State, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Of course, all of these cannot come every year, so we always have a half different group and this adds to the interest of all Hortons. Even though some of us are not connected, we still enjoy sharing how we have solved problems, stories of some ancestors, etc. All of these Hortons from all over are such nice people and I enjoy being a part of the annual Gathering.
