The Beers book talks about the older Timothy, born in 1772 in New Jersey, married Rachel Wortzer, and was the father of George Wortzer Horner. It says: "George W. Horner was born in NJ in 1808. His father Timothy Horner, was from that state and was by trade a blacksmith; and his mother, whose maiden name was Rachel Wirtser, was of German descent. Mr. Horner is a millwright. He settled in Amity in 1823, locating on 3 acres of land where he now lives (1879) He married Harriet Noble, a native of Washington County, whose mother is living in Amity at the age of 93." I have the death date for Timothy as 6 Nov. 1851, for Rachel 9 June 1849. I did not have the cemetery reference for Windus Cemetery. I have only three children for them: Mary (1803), George W. (1808) and Levi (1811) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
