Greetings to you Garland, It's been sometime since we have talked and as I read your response to Craig today I thought of a question regarding William Ransom. When was your William Ransom born. I'm sure you have given this information to me before. This age thing is not the greatest in the world. I am still looking for David HORTON b. abt.1796; m. to a Mary Ransom. I am beginning to think she is the wrong wife. I can find nothing on her anywhere. Did find a few things in Canada on David but can't prove any of them. It is a definite roadblock because I don't know where to go to connect to any other family members. Some of my HORTON relatives have visited others in one of the southern states but don't know who. James Henry HORTON b. Sep 1863; m. Ida Bedford is the son of William Ransom & Lavina Caldwell. James visited someone down there but no one seems to know who. Perhaps someone on the list is familiar with some of these names. Eileen (HORTON) Anderson

I'm reposting my Horton to the list. I have a Dilley/Della B. Horton who was born in Wyoming Twp., Kent Co., MI about July 1856. She was married in Wyoming Twp. and didn't list her parents names on her marriage cert. On census she states that her parents were both born in Canada. I did find a Jesse M. and Sarah A. Horton childless (both b. in Can) on the 1850 census in Grattan Twp., as a farmer, land records transfering their land there, and in the 1860 census in Wyoming Twp. as a boatman with a daughter Dill, age 3. After that they disappear. Rumor had it she was uninherited for her choice of husband (Lewis A. Reynolds in 1876) but I'm thinking it's possible she was orphaned. None of them appear on the 1870 census found on the Michigan web site. Does anyone have any ideas or are possibly related?? Carolee [email protected]
