There are articles on some of the Hortons of Eagle Ford on Handbook of Texas Online and on Jim Wheat's Dallas County Texas Archvies site (you can search for these). I think the Hortons lived right next to our Newtons in Eagle Ford, and I believe both families had members or near-relatives who married Cockrells. Ezra Williams (E.W.) Newton was the first postmaster of Eagle Ford in the 1860s. His widow Persis (P.M.) Newton sold land there to a James Horton (!) and the Newtons' son Ernest and wife Lula are both buried in the Horton Family Cemetery there. I will see if I have more on them.

He was born 11/04/1853 in Dallas County, Texas, son of James and Jane PHILLIPS HORTON. I find him on the 1860 and 1870 Dallas Co., TX census. He is listed as Postmaster, Eagle Ford, Dallas, TX 1874-1879. I have no further information on him and hope that someone on this list might hold the clue. I do not know if he married, moved or died. Any help would be most welcome! Susanna Clark-Smith "How far that little candle throws his beams!
