Hortons in England. I recently met a lady from England, named Horton. She came over from The U.K. when she was 8 years old. She said the problem with trying to trace Hortons in the U.K. is that the name is as common as Smith is in the U.S. She said there are several villages or towns named Horton. And I have been trying to work the U.K. and see who of my Hortons came to this country. Thomas W. Horton Glen Mills, PA
