    1. Re: HORN-CHAFFIN Marriage Record
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Horn, Short, Muncy and others Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3309.1 Message Board Post: Joyce, This is the first time I've seen Katherine's name listed as Chaffin - we've been trying unsuccessfully to find this out for a LONG TIME! Did you find this record in TN and then trace them to Lawrence Co? I'm descended from Henry Horn - who stated on a marriage license application in 1857 (Tazewell Co VA) that he was the son of Frederick & Katherine Horn. I know Louise Perkins put him in the same family as Michael, but I've never been convinced he belongs there - sure wish I thought for sure he was - there's a bunch of other children there that we would be akin to! I believe our Henry was in what is now Wayne Co WV on the 1840 census and migrated to Tazewell County by 1850 with a wife and three children, who may or may not have been the children of the wife who was with him there. (She disappears sometime before 1857, when he married again as a widower; however, we have been unable to discover a death or burial record for her.) I believe you and I may have corresponded before some time ago - you may have found additional information that would be so wonderful for me to have - please let me know! Thanks! June
