He had a warrant for 200 acres there in 1748. There is evidence of George Horner having lived on the North Branch of the Capon River and of his wife's abduction by Indians. Elizabeth (HOLLOWAY/HOLLIDAY) Horner, was supposed by some to have been killed by Indians in VA. >From K! ercheval's history of the Valley of Virginia, a description of an Indi an raid in 1756: He had four children by his first marriage.

In June 1778, John Owens Sr., John Juggins and Owen Owens were attacked by some Indians, as they were going to their cornfield on Booth’s creek; and the two former were killed and scalped. Owen Owens being some distance behind them, made his escape to the fort. John Owens the younger, who had been to the pasture field for the plough horses, heard the guns, but not suspecting any danger to be near, rode forward towards the cornfield. As he was proceeding along the path by a fence side, riding one and leading another horse, he was fired at by several Indians, some of whom afterwards rushed forward and caught at the bridle reins; yet he esca! ped unhurt from them all.

Beaver Dam Creek flows into Richland Creek, Greene County, Georgia. According to the Lower Shenandoah Valley by: J. E. Norris 1890, “George Horner laid warrant for 200 acres of land in Frederick County in 1748. George Horner, was on the Frederick county VA tax list in 1754.The French and Indian War also known as the Seven Years War, began in 1755, Frederick Co. VA. Was on the frontie! r and hard hit. Nicholas Tripp was next found in Orange Co NC where h e bought land in 1758. About 1759 George Horner moved to St. Mary’s District of Orange County, North Carolina where he had a plantation on the Little River.------(JOSEPH HORNER : Frederick Co. VA: 1759 Record Type: Rent Role Database: VA Early Census Index ) What relation was he to George? As there is some controversy as to Linda the daughter of George being the wife of Timothy. There are records saying she married a Watson. Our Linda could have been the daughter of Joseph. In Joyner’s abstract of warrants and surveys for Berkeley County, VA there is the following entry: ALLAN McDONALD, assignee of Stephen Stewart of Frederick; 11 May 1768 – 28 July 1768; 111 a. on N fk Sleepy Crk, Rock Gap Run; adj. Nich/s Tripp, Timothy Cude/Cudd/Cood’s 130 a. surv. CC – Ephraim & Jno Ashcraft. Marker – Echibud [sic] Ashcraft. Surv. Richard Rigg. 26 Mar 1777 – Elizabeth (X) Steward certified her late husband Stephen (died intestate) rec’d payment from Timothy Cood. Translation of record-----(Allan McDonald, assignee ) Agent/Lawyer/Man of Honor - assigned to probate estate (died intestate, no will) of Stephen Stewart. Probably not a relative. Pays his bills, collects his debts and gives what ever is left over to widow and children. This all happened between 11 May 1768 – 28 July 1768, so Stephen Stewart died before May. (adj. Nich/s Tripp, Timothy Cude/Cudd/Cood’s 130 a. surv.) Timothy Coode and Nicholas Trippe both owned land in Frederick Co. VA in 1768. This was NOT the Tripp or Cude land of 1749, but adjacent to it. , These were resurveys of the same area which had been surveyed by Guy Broadwater back in 1749. There was no survey by Broadwater of 111 acres, but a new survey may have turned up a different number. (Elizabeth (X) Steward certified her late husband Stephen (died intestate) rec’d payment from Timothy Cood.) It appears that Timothy gave him payment for it. By 1768 Timothy was married with at least ! one child Mary. They probably lived in this area before moving to NC. George Horner was selling land to his son-in-law John Owens in 1761. the Horner land was on the Cacapon, which is 7 or 8 miles west of Sleepy Creek and parallel to it. The Cacapon is a bigger stream and continues on south. He may have had land in both areas as the records below indicate. The first land record we have of Timothy in NC. was in 1779. Although he signed the Regulator Advertisement No. 9, April 1768 (see _The Colonial Records of North Carolina_, Vol VII, pp 737; name is Timothy Code) He would have been about 28 with one child we know of. Since he could not read or write, someone would have had to sign for him. Regulator Advertisement, No. 9 contained 480 signatures and was a petition circulated primarily by "the inhabitants of Orange County" in protest to the British governor Tryon, objecting to fees and taxes paid to the state. Timothy fought in the Battle of Alamance in central North Carolina in 1771.
