Hello Virginia. I've been watch your E-Mails on the list closely since I have HORTON, NORFLEET and CARROLL COUNTY connections. I'd be interested in particular in any HORTON connections since my grandfather Rufus Wilie HORTON was orphaned, and I just the other day found out who his father, my g grandfathe,r was. Here's my info: my GG Grandfather, Dr. Rufus Wiley PEACOCK (1827-1899) moved with his family (Wiley and Lefa PEACOCK and siblings) from Wayne Co. NC to TN in late 1830s. In 1850 census Rufus is in Henry County (living at Richard MANLEY residence as a teacher), while his mother and siblings are found in Carroll County. Dr. Rufus married Mary Jane WOODSON in Gibson Cnty 1852 (one son James W.) - She died 1859, and he remarried my GG Grandmother Martha DAVIE 1860 in Haywood Cnty. Their daughter, my G Grandmother, was Mignonnette (Nettie) PEACOCK. Martha died in late 1860s and Dr. Rufus remarried Anne Martha NORFLEET (1st mrg. MCCULLOCH) (daughter of Starkey NORFLEET and Nancy W. PARKER) 1870 in Clarksville, Montgomery Co., TN. They moved to Jersey City, NJ, and Dr. Rufus Wiley PEACOCK went to NYU Medical School across the river in NYC (grad. 1875). Meanwhile, my G Grandmother Mignonnette (Nettie) PEACOCK married about 1879-1880 HARRY E. HORTON in TN or NJ. They had my Grandfather Rufus Wiley HORTON 15 Jul, 1881. While the family was Methodist, I discovered they baptized young Rufus Catholic 20 Aug 1881 in Jersey City, so Harry may have been Catholic. Anyway, I have nothing else on Harry E. HORTON - but I think he had southern connections since family legend is that he fought for the CSA, which would make him quite a bit older than Nettie. Also family word of mouth was that he was one of 5 brothers that came over from England. He died 1880-81, I understand in a RR accident. Are any of these names familiar to you? is there a possible connection to Harry HORTON. - Ray _______________________________ Ray and Joyce Horton and family "Horton Family" <sunray@erie.net> 2720 Ellsworth Ave. Erie, PA 16508 814-454-7191 (work) 814-864-2958 (home)
