I have Hellen Dorthea Horton b. 9 Aug 1849, d/o John W. Horton and Ann Strong.
John W. Horton b.abt1824 (from census and marriage records) in Russell Co VA married 1) Ann Strong m. 25 Dec 1845 Scott Co VA, b. abt 1827;2) Eliza Horton, m. 25 Aug 1873 Scott Co VA, b. abt 1831 Scott Co VA.John W. was the son of Thomas Horton and Patsy Wilson.
Thomas Horton b. 19 Oct 1801 d. 19 Feb 1884 both in Scott Co VA.He was a minister, preacher, whatever title you prefer, not sure what church, but is frequently mentioned in the Scott Co marriage books. Thomas married 1) Patsy Wilson b. abt 18032) Martha Catherine Stewart 13 Jan 1864 Scott Co VA, b. 13 Jan 1831 d. 18 0ct 1888.
Thomas was the son of John Horton III and Jane Sergent.John Horton III was the son of John Horton, Jr. and Isabelle Kendrick.You can find more about these families posted elsewhere on this board.
Is your own info consistent with this?I have the Scott Co marriage books and census 1820-1850 and most of my info comes from these and genweb material.But then, the social security death index has the birthdates wrong on two of my great-uncles, so we know mistakes can get made (especially when it comes to the government).
