Found this about a John Stratton and thought it might give you a clue to check out perhaps the 1880 census and maybe would lead to your Daniel B. Stratton. "In 1880 the population of the village of Hornersville was 326. Among these were the following and their families: Judge John W, Black, P. P. Bryant, Geo. W, Hall, C. B. shultz, W. J. Davis, Rufus R. Bishop, Robert Brannum, Zenith Tinnin, W. M. Mizell, Clem Edmonston, Sam Edmonston, Nix Culp, Russell Horner, Mary Brannum, William Lane, Pascal Rice, William Dunaway, JOHN STRATTON, John R. Meredith, William McDaniel, Lucinda McBee, John W. Edmonston, Louisa Williford, W. F. Williams, Daniel Peppers, Mary Weaver, John W. Long, William Cates, A. H. Short, W. J. Williams. The Langdons were yet at CottonPlant in 1880, and Dr. Eli T. Anderson did not come to Dunklin County until 1886. The Neels, the Lomaxes and the Horners lived in the vicinity of Hornersville. As you might have already known these books were started in the 1950's so it is before computer access to the census, etc., and lot of information was just written my well meaning people. Thank heaven that we have it from the past but the computer age has certainly made things easier to find. Sharon Weaver
