ER - A William G. Horton of Stoddard Co MO had children there but to date nothing about a John White Horton had turned up from subscribers until your query. Tell us more about him, siblings especially, if you can. William G. Horton and the Davis Families of Stoddard Co, MO are interrelated and an Ann White married into the Davis family as did a Horton woman whose name I can relocate if need be. So there is evidence of Whites influencing the name of John White Horton through these connections. The surname Scott should also be prevalent there with Horton connections as well..perry
