Nelson Horton was married to Ann Douglas. The marriage record does name her as Doggles. But it's a printed copy and they made a mistake. Her father was Joseph Douglas and died in Grainger Co., TN. His estate sale was 16 Mar 1809 and Nelson was there buying things. On the 1810/20 (forget which) Nelson had 8 sons and 2 daus listed. He was the son of Elijah Horton, who was the son of John b 1717 a twin to William. John was married to Sarah Wheeler and he died in 1792 in Stafford Co., VA. John was the son of Hugh Horton Jr. and Elizabeth Rawlins, next was Hugh Sr and Jane Snowdall/Snowden. Both Hugh's died in Westmoreland Co., Virginia. Hugh Sr's father was William. Nelson later married Purlina Stovall in Rutherford Co and had another crop of kids. Nelson died in Coffee Co., TN ca 1786 or so. Can't remember for sure. I've been trying to tie my James to this Nelson forever but now I'm getting a little more skeptical about it. Can't prove or disprove it. As you can see I have a lot on this line. Pat
