Hi Hortons! I am helping a friend with her DAR application and have run into a snag. Her line is Isaac Horton, Sr. b abt 1759 d. 1854 Wayne Co., TN., Isaac Horton, Jr. 1788 d. 1853 Searcy Co., AK., James Henry Horton b. 1821 d. 1865. I have not found documented proof that James H. was the son of Isaac Horton, Jr. I am looking for any link, a bible record, land record, obituary, anything that will show a link between these two. Isaac Jr. left Wayne Co., TN for Searcy, AK abt 1850 and died in 1853. All the court records in Searcy County burned before 1897 so there is not Will or Probate file. Has anyone seen land records for Isaac Jr. that may show his children selling land after his death? I will be greatful for any suggestions. Thanks, Judy

Did you ever get any proof about James being son of Isaac Jr? I have a copy of Isaac Jr and Mary Watts Horton Family bio that someone sent me. Unfortunately, there was no reference attached as to where it came from but I believe it was from some Wayne County, TN historical publication. It list James Henry as Isaac's son. It give the birth date as 1821. It also list his wife and children. If you think it would help you, I could scan it and e-mail it to you. I also have a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions, application for Isaac Sr which states he has two grandchildren living with him. One of them is James, age 13. The form is filled out in long hand and is difficult to read. I don't know how well it will scan. I could snail mail you a copy. Let me know if you would like a copy of these documents..
