Kristin Bush, if you're still out there I don't know if this info may help you or not. I don't recall who all and where all you were looking but just found this recently. Maybe this will help somebody. See below; Just a couple of comments to explain about the 1782 census. Some towns took a household census and others just did an estate valuation. The census information for the towns of Smithfield and North Providence are not included-they were never found. Below is a listing for all Hortons in the 1782 census: Benjamin Horten, Barrington, estate valuation 30 pounds; John Horten, Gloucester, 1 male age 50+, 1 female age 50+ Amos Horton, Johnston, taxable estate 21 pounds Widow Horton, Scituate, 1 male 0-15, 1 male 16-21, 1 female 50+ I also have Bicknell's "History of Barrington" so I gave that a look. Not too much information, but it did say this about Benjamin Horten: Served in Capt. Thomas Allin's Co.,appeared on the alarm at Bristol, April 1, 1776;

Yes I am still out here. Thanks for the information Ron. I still have not been able to connect the Belpre, OH HORTONS to Rhode Island HORTONS but every little tidbit of information helps. Searching for ancestors of Daniel Bent HORTON of Belpre, Washington Co., OH. Born about 1807. Married to Hannah McLaughlin.
