Marylyn - In 1991 Martha F Horton informed me that this family was connected to Reuben Horton. We show the father Reuben to be b 1747 but more likely his son Reuben is more likely to be the father of Daniel and to be the Grandson of the older Reuben. This family goes back to Anthony Horton of Stafford Co Va.. Anthony died fairly young and Rueben was in NC for a time before coming back north into Kentucky. I will check further on him but he had a brother Adin, Aden Horton who appears in Jeffeerson Co KY by c 1773 or by 1782 for sure. Dan
