Dan - on paper there is no Joseph Horton in the estate settlement of Bertie Co NC in 1736. But that does not mean to say you are incorrect or DNA is wrong. I checked on Horton Sr's son Hugh Horton Jr (of Bertie Co NC)- but there are no solid dates on him from the extracts of the settlement. Since a son John was the executor I presume that he may have been the older of the siblings. perry
