Hello Everyone, Last week I had a family business trip to Louisiana, and I drove from northern Virginia. I had originally thought that last Saturday I might be able to get a day of research in at the NC State Archives in Raleigh, but that archives were closed I realized once in LA for the holiday, so I decided to do some "cem-trekking" for the Hortons and my Cane Creek MM folks. I visited Daniel Horton's cemetery just outside Athens Tennessee in McMinn Co., and that was very exciting. I also had a long talk with the woman, Mrs. Wilson, whose family has purchased the Horton property sometime before the Civil War I believe she said, and who lives in a house that includes the original log cabin of Daniel Jr., (married Mary Needham) and where Daniel Senior, son of Abraham b. 1722, died. The logs are covered up, and it looks like an addition of the back of a a new part of the house. Since I came totally unprepared for this expedition, I was fortunate that the library in Athens was open had cemetery books, a Horton file, etc. The land is very hilly, and the setting was absolutely beautiful. I talked so long (my daughter once decided that was my hobby on a school assignment), that I lost the light before I could actually locate Daniel Sr.'s grave marker. It is actually quite close to Athens AND the interstate free I-75 goes directly through the property! I, of course, got lost trying to find it and the garden ceneter fellow in Riceville helped me out. I spent the night in Marysville, and then got up early and drove to Cocke Co., where I have a different set of ancestors, and drove through the beautiful rolling plateau community just north of Cosby where they lived. Then I drove on to Westfield in NC. After numerous wrong turns I found the MM and the cemetery associated with it. I also remembered that Abraham and Martha were said to be buried at Old Tom's Creek Cemetery. Since this was Sunday, I had no access to a library or cemetery books, so I drove down Old Tom's Creek Road, got a feel for the area, saw a number of small cemeteries..most not readily accessible. My question -- I plan to go back perhaps in two weeks as I have business in Durham. Can someone direct me to the cemetery where Abraham Horton and Martha Williams are buried? My best regards, Janet (Baugh) Hunter
