Margie - Having verified much of your Horton data in question, we find that Abner Horton was in the 1850 census of Lancaster, Lancaster Co SC p202. His children's names are identified only by first initials which without the later census data you had, this would be almost no use at all except now you will find more children listed than on the 1860 census of Choctaw Co MS. It may be that some of the folks from Lancaster Co SC could help you further from their collective ot individual research. Also I will refer this to Jackie Horton and perhaps she will already have information on this family from past experience as a conact person with the Southern Horton families as they shared with her. We will continue to search this also until something turns up that will help you more. Donna and Perry
