In his daughter's obituary, his name is spelled Ernest and his wife Ernestine. The obituary identifies him as Ernest Jr. His father's name was spelled Earnest, but he went by Earnie. "Melba Jane Horton, 60, of Eustace, TX, died Aug. 14. She was born Oct. 2, 1951, in Ethel to Ernest Horton Jr. and Ernestine Zell (Franks) Horton. Her parents; grandparents, Ernie and Lucy Horton; and two brothers, Dale Ernest Horton and Larry Russell Horton, preceded her in death." -- Obituary of Melba Horton, DeWitt Era-Enterprise of DeWitt, Arkansas, Smalltown News, http://smalltownnews.com/article.php?catname=Obituary&pub=DeWitt%20Era-Enterprise&pid=55&aid=164258 Both Ernie and his father went by the nickname of their middle name Ernest. His father was Samuel Ernest Horton. The reference to Ernie Jr would make us think he was also Samuel Ernest Horton, but confusingly, the term Junior was sometimes used locally, colloquially, if a father and son went by the same name, not necessarily that were actually named the same. No record has been found of the younger Ernie that gives his first name. One Texas death record is found reporting a death in Dallas County, Texas, that may be for our Ernie, with only the name Jewell Horton. One genealogy reports him as Jewell Ernest Horton, but provides no anecdotal or record documentation for the name. A Social Security Death Index record matches this, in the name of Ernest Horton. This is likely the same Ernie Horton, since the manager of his FAG record of burial in Henderson County, Texas, has linked the memorial to the Find a Grave memorials for our Ernie's parents in Ethel. And in later life, several of the children were also in Texas. But though the Social Security death record has the name Jewell Horton, that grave has only the name Ernest Horton. (See both the respective death records and Fnd a Grave record below.) For a long while, the Horton family was not found in the 1930 and 1940 censuses. When, in 2019, they were found, Ernie's name had been mistranscribed as Jerod. In fact, the name written by the enumerator was Jewel, matching the Texas death record for Jewell Horton. The death record has the normal spelling of that name. 1930 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 22 April, District 25, page 6B, Prairie Township, Ethel & Point Rd, Hse #122, Fam #123 Horton, Samuel E Head M W 34 First married at age 28 [m abt 1924] AR MS MS Farmer [b abt 1896] Horton, Lucy Wife F W 22 First married at age 16 [m abt 1924] AR AR AR [b abt 1908] Horton, Jewel E Son M W 5 AR AR AR [b abt 1925] Horton, Raymond L Son M W 3yrs11mos AR AR AR [b abt April 1926] Horton, Charles E Son M W 2yrs0mos AR AR AR [b abt March 1928] Ernie married Ernestine Zell Franks in 1946.

Sheri Horton, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 19 October 2010, "Daughter Nancy Anne Greene married Jonathan Horton son of Abraham and Martha Brissell Horton. ... Jonathan and Nancy's son John married Susan Grider and the family moved to Washington Co Mo." Sheri also stated that Isaac, who married Nancy Ann's suster Mary, was Jonathan's brother and then lists all the other brothers of John Brissell Horton. So the naming of John Brissell Horton as Jonathan was intentional in this information. It has been cnfirmed that John and Nancy's son was John Brissell Horton Jr. But the marriage to Susan Grider matches the son of John Brissell and Nancy Ann Horton. Sheri has done extensive research trying to put together the Horton line. John's birth year on his grave is reported as as 1789. His name there is John Brissell Horton Jr. A memorial exists on Find a Grave (see below). Sheri Horton now lists him simply as John Horton. ---------------- You will note on the will I made a reference to Christopher Girder/Crider. He was married to Elizabeth Corbin, d/o Peter Corbin, Christopher and Elizabeth's daughter Susan Grider, married John Horton, son of John Brissel Horton and Nancy Ann Green. John Horton married to Susan is the John who fought in war of 1812 and received the land grant for Missouri. John and Sue had son Christopher Columbus Horton, he married Achsah Montgomery in Washington Co Mo. They had son Isaac Horton who married Rachel Minnie Montgomery. Achsah's niece. Isaac and Minnie had Bert Horton who married Essie Mae Byington, They had Eugene B Horton who was my Dad. -- Sheri Horton, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 26 August 2015 ---------------- In 1850, John and Susan were enumerated in the census in Concord Township of Washington County, Missouri.

The McIvor tree reports the marriage place as Guilford County, North Carolina, while the Peterson Tree says it was in Surry County, North Carolina. I suspect that they have found a couple with similar names and reported them, just assuming it was our John Brissell Horton and Nancy Anne Green from South Carolina. There are records of the Hortons in connection with the Quaker community in Guilford County. Both Gulford and Surry are in the northern area of North Carolina, Surry is on the border with Virginia, while Meshack and his family were down in Pendleton County, western South Carolina, near Georgia. There is a name John Horton on the Cherokee list of those who signed the treaty agreeing to exchange their present eastern lands for land He is listed as #550 in the final emigration list. John Brissell Horton was 65 years old at the time of the roll's compilation in 1817. Sheri Horton, who has researched this aspect quite extensively, states that John Brissell Horton was the only Horton in the area and he was the John Horton on that Cherokee list, having lands through his Cherokee wife Nancy Ann Green, daughter of Meshack W Green. "In an attempt to save land that had been lost after the Creek War of 1813, the Cherokee signed two more treaties in 1817 and 1819. The 1817 treaty was the first Cherokee treaty that included a provision for their removal from North Carolina lands. The treaty proposed exchanging Cherokee lands in the Southeast for territory west of the Mississippi River. The government promised assistance in resettling those Cherokees who chose to remove, and approximately 1,500-2,000 did. The Treaty of 1817 also contained a proposal for an experiment in Cherokee citizenship. Cherokees who wished to remain on ceded land in the East could apply for a 640-acre reserve and legal rights as American citizens." -- Encyclopedia of North Carolina, NCPedia, https://www.ncpedia.org/cherokee/revolutionarywar John was among those who agreed to accept lands in Arkansas for his eastern lands under the Cherokee tribe. Arkansas was at that time a part of New Madrid District of the Louisiana Territory, which included part of the current state of Missouri. They were settled in the eastern area of Arkansas on or near the Mississippi River south of where the Arkansas River comes in to it. There is still a town there called Cherokee Village, and some Arkansas Cherokees. Most of the Cherokees there moved to Cherokee Nation when Indian Territory was established after the 1830 removal from Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. An entry from the New Garden Friends Meeting recods idicates that John was dismissed becuse he married an Indian. The following is reported of Abraham, but one wonders what marriage in 1778 they were referring to. Abraham would have been 56 at that time, and no record has been found of him remarryin at that time. But Abraham's son John married Nancy Green on 25 July 1778, the exact date of this dismissal from the New Garden meeting. Thus it seems this Quaker action applyies to John Brissell Horton. "In 1769 Abraham Sr and his family moved to Surry County, North Carolina. They were Quakers, and a number of Quaker families moved together. They eventually formed a Quaker monthly meeting (church) at Westfield in Surry County near Mt Airy. ... Dismissed from New Gardens monlthly Meeting of Quakers, 25 July 1778 because he was 'married out of unity.'" -- The Horton Connection, the descendants of Abraham Horton, Sr, Compiled by Arnold Horton Wilson and Bonnie Imogene (Rains) Wilson, 1995 John's wife Nancy Anne Green was Cherokee or part Cherokee woman. Nancy Anne was the daughter of Meshack W Green and Lucretia Franklin. Both Meshack and Lucretia are varyingly reported as full-blood or part Cherokee. John Brissell Horton did have Cherokee lands by virtue of his wife Nancy Anne. This was the basis of his identification with other Cherokee citizens who signed the 1817 treaty to move to Arkansas, which was part of the New Madrid District of the Lousiana Purchase. After the report of dismissal, three was stll some business involving John Horton, mentioned in the October1778 minutes of the New Garden Meeting. The topic is not clear. But it involved some letter of denial, and John's statement that he had complied wth something. U.S., Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935 John Horton New Garden Monthly Meeting 31 Oct 1778 Guilford, North Carolina (North Carolina Yearly Meeting Yearly Meeting) Residence Guilford, North Carolina Due to the damage and discoloration on the original document, it isn't discernible what the topic is concerning John Horton. Several sources report that John Brissell Horton was buried in the Horton (or Horton-Mackley) Cemetery in St Francois County, Missouri. But he is not listed in the cemetery register I have found. He may have died in St Francois County, but the cemetery of his reported burial is not in St Francois County, but in neighboring Ste Genevieve County. Perhaps this area now in Ste Genevieve County was originally a in larger St Francois County that was later divided into smaller divisions. But John's name is missing in two different transcription lists I have found for the Horton-Mackley Cemetery in Ste Genevieve County. Despite the fact that some genealogies specifically report that John died in St Francois, St Francois, Missouri, I have found no record of any town or city in Missouri named St Francois, or its English equivalent St Francis, in St Francois County or any other county. It may have been an unincorporated place, but does not come up in epodunk.com, either, which includes unincorporated locations.

One Horton researcher reports that Joseph Horton was the son of Abraham Horton (1722-1816) and Martha B Williams (1726-1808). But the dates don't match for such a relationship. "one more bro Joseph b ca 1800" -- Sheri Horton, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 20 October 2010 Joseph who was born in 1800 could not be the son of Abraham & Martha. Martha would have been 74 if he was born in 1800. And other sources report he married in 1801! The Joseph in mind must be a son of John B Horton and Nancy Ann Green, born about 1780. That Joseph moved to Carroll County, Virginia. Another genealogy by Janice K Smith reports his birth around 1780, but even this was late for Abraham and Martha. Martha would have been 54 in 1780. Smith reports the parents of Joseph Horton as John and Anna. But the same source also says Joseph's father died in the Revolutionary War. John B Horton was too young for that and signed the 1817 Cherokee Treaty with the U S government, before moving to the west. John is reported to have died in Missouri in 1827. There may be some question, but no documentation of other earlier date has been found. No further information has been found on Joseph Horton, son of Abraham and Martha.
Family Data Collection - Individual Records Joseph Horton Spouse Mary Webb Parents Anna Birth 1780 Surry County, NC Marriage Date 26 Aug 1800 Death 22 Dec 1876 Carroll County, VA This Family Data Collection reports Surry County, North Carolina, as Joseph's place of birth. This is reinforced by the census reports of 1850, 1860 and 1870. However, the Virginia Deaths and Burials Index reports his birth and death both in Virginia. The place of birth here is reported as Grayson County, Virginia. This is also the location of his and Mary's marriage. This report of birth in Virginia conflicts with virtually all other family facts. But he could have been born in Grayson County, since this is the neighboring county north of Surry across the border into Virginia. Before their marriage Joseph had been living in the area of Fruit Hill, the location of which is not clear. There was another meeting there referred to as a preparative meeting. In November 1799, the minutes also refer to Westfield Meeting as a Preparative Meeting, but the Fruit Hill and Chesnut Hill metings are associated with Westfield, also as Preparative meeitngs. (Westfield was later called New Garden, then Guilford College.) In their November 1799 meeting, the Westfield group approved the transfer of Joesph Horton's membership to the Fruit Hill meeting. U.S., Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935 Joseph Horton Residence 23 November 1799 Residence Fruit Hill, Grayson County, Virginia "Joseph Horton 's Request having been for some time under the Cear [care] of Fruit Hill Preparative Meeting and now Request [sic] to be Joind [sic] in membership which this meeting grants." [It is not clear where Fruit Hill is (also referrred to in some minutes as Fruithill.] Westfield Preparative Monthly Meeting, Surry County, North Carolina, North Carolina Yearly Meeting, Records p 192 Fruit HIll was in Virginia, across the border from Surry County where Westfield was located. "At this point let us point out the Quarterly Meetings of which Westfield Monthly Meeting has been a part. It was originally founded in 1786 as a member of the Western Quarterly Meeting. It was transferred to the newly organized New Garden Quarterly Meeting in 1787. Within the next few years, Westfield itself branched out and formed new Monthly Meetings at Lost Creek in Tennessee in 1793, at New Hope in Tennessee in 1795, Mount Pleasant and Fruit Hill in Virginia in 1797, at North Providence in 1801, and so in 1803 the Westfield Quarterly Meeting set off." -- "Westfield Meeting," Quakers RootsWeb, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~quakers/westfield.htm It is this Fruit Hill meeting that requested Westfield Meeting to confirm their dismissal of Joseph for marrying contrary to their procedures. Joseph Horton was censured for this marriage and dismissed from membership in the Westfield Friends Monthly Meeting minutes in 1801. In November he is reported and dismissed, and in the December 1801 meeting, a reference is made to a report of the decision. U.S., Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935 Joseph Horton Residence 21 November 1801 Residence Place Surry, North Carolina "Fruithill Preparative Meeting Complains of Joseph Horton for Accomplishing his Marriage contrary to discipline for which this meeting tiestifies [sic] against and Disowns the sd [said] Joseph Horton from being a member of our Society until his condemn the Same to the Satisfaction of this meeting which that he may is Desired [sic]. Robert Commons is appointed to give him a Copy of this proceeding of the meeting against him and report his Care to the next meeting" Westfield Preparative Monthly Meeting, Surry County, North Carolina, North Carolina Yearly Meeting, Records p 219 U.S., Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935 Joseph Horton Residence 19 December 1801 Residence Place Surry, North Carolina "The friends appointed to give Joseph Horton a copy of the proceedings of the meeting against him Report that it is complyd with." [ref November 1801 meeting minutes: for marrying "contrary to discipline" apparently because his wife was not a Quaker] Westfield Preparative Monthly Meeting, North Carolina Yearly Meeting, Surry County, North Carolina, Records p 220 The date of the Virginia marriage record is August 1800, but the censure and dismissal did not occur until November 1801. Some have referenced the 1801 date as the date (year) of marriage, but the Virginia marriage records indicate it was over a year before the Westfield Meeting acted on it. The article below refers to the marriage as occurring in 1801, probably in reference to the Quaker records, not the Virginia marriage record. ----------------------- Mary WEBB was born about 1785. She died about 1876. She was also known as Mary Horton. She was buried in Webb-Thompson Cm, Snake Creek, Carroll County, Virginia. Mary is believed to be buried in an unmarked grave at the Webb-Thompson Cemetery. Mary WEBB and Joseph HORTON were married in 1801 in Grayson County, Virginia. Joseph HORTON (son of John HORTON and Anna (HORTON)) was born about 1780 in Grayson County, Virginia. He died on 22 Dec 1875 in Carroll County, Virginia. [Alternate date from some sources:] 12 He died on 22 Dec 1876. He was buried in Webb-Thompson Cm, Snake Creek, Carroll County, Virginia. Joseph Whorton and Mary Web on marriage register. Parents listed as John and Anna on the death register. The conflict in death dates must be the two different registers. Death register lists birth place as Grayson, not North Carolina. Joseph Horton was "born a Quaker and went from Westfield, N.C. to Carroll County, Va., and was the first of the name to go to this county. He fought in the War of 1812 and his father was killed in the Revolutionary War. [Other sources report his father moved to Missouri and died there in 1827.] All of his family left to go West and were never heard from again. It was thought that they were killed by the Indians. I have heard my grandmother say that he had to build fires around his flock of sheep to keep the wolves away, the country was so wild and unsettled at that time. He married the daughter of Henry Webb, the ancestor of the Snake Creek Webb family. I have heard my grandmother recite the poem in which he asked Henry Webb for the hand of his daughter, Mary.... When he married outside of the Quaker religion, he was dropped from the meeting." (Tillinghast, Some Things I Learned) They were dismissed from the Westfield Meeting in November 1801. It is believed he spent most of his life with his in-laws and that he and Mary are buried in the Webb-Thompson Cemetery on Snake Creek although there are no grave markers. (Alderman, The Settlements, p.82) The first records from the Snake Creek Primitive Baptist Church dated Sat. Oct. 1848 (the first Saturday of the month) stated that Joseph Horton and his wife Mary W. Horton were two of the thirty founders of the Snake Creek Primitive Baptist Church. It is possible that they previously belonged to the Laurel Fork Primitive Baptist Church. (from Archie Goad). Joseph's death record says he was born in Grayson County. Most writers believe he was from North Carolina. -- Janice K Smith, Rootsweb Trees, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~janiceksmith/webb/b564.htm#P564 (Thanks to Lynne Burgess for this source) ----------------------- 1850 Federal Census, Carroll County, Virginia, 3 September, District 11, page 346, Hse/Fam #412 Joseph Horton 68 M Farmer $100 Real Estate Value b North Carolina Mary Horton 65 F b VA Cannot read & write William R Horton 18 M Farmer b VA Cannot read & write In th 1960 census they are living in the household of their son William and his family. 1860 Federal Census, Carroll County, Virginia, 7 July, page 53, Hse #34, Fam #351 William R Horton 28 M Farmer $500 Real Estate $165 Personal born VA [b abt 1832] Anici Horton 20 F born VA Cannot read or write [b abt 1840] Pauline C Horton 4 F born VA [b abt 1856] Ellis F Horton 1 M born VA [b abt 1859] Joseph Horton 78 M Farmer born NC Cannot read or write [b abt 1782] Mary Horton 75 F born VA [b abt 1785] 1870 Federal Census, Carroll County, Virginia, 1 August, Laurel Fork, PO Hillsville, page 1 (scan 423), Hse/Fam #2 Horton, Joseph Sr 90 M W Farmer $360 Real Estate $500 Personal born No Carolina cannot write [b abt 1780] Horton, Mary 85 F W Keeping House b VA [b abt 1785] Their son William's family was next door, enumerated as family 1 on the page. 1870 Federal Census, Carroll County, Virginia, 1 August, Laurel Fork, PO Hillsville, page 1 (scan 423), Hse/Fam #1 Horton, William R 38 M W Farmer $500 Real Estate $275 Personal born VA [b abt 1832] Horton, Annis 30 F W Keeping House b VA [b abt 1840] Horton, Paulina C 14 F W At Home born VA [b abt 1856] Horton, Ellis F 11 M W At Home born VA [b abt 1859] Horton, Mary A 9 F W At Home born VA [b abt 1861] Virginia, Select Marriages, 1785-1940 Joseph Wharton Marriage 26 Aug 1800 Grayson County, Virginia Spouse Mary Webb Register 1, p 41 U.S., War of 1812 Service Records, 1812-1815 Joseph Horton Company 7 REG'T (SAUNDER'S) VIRGINIA MILITIA PRIVATE Roll Box 103 Virginia, Deaths and Burials Index, 1853-1917 Joseph Horton Birth abt 1780 Grayson County, Virginia Death 22 Dec 1875 Carroll, Virginia Age 95, Occupation Farmer, Widowed Father John Horton Mother Anna Horton --------------------- Joseph Horton Birth 1780 Death 1876 Pvt - Va Militia War of 1812 Spouse Mary Webb Horton (1785 - 1876) Children: James Horton (1803 - 1893) Rachel Horton Gardner (1807 - ____) Jacob Horton (1820 - 1890) Andrew Horton (1828 - 1864) William Riley Horton (1831 - 1920) Other children born to Joseph & Mary Webb Horton: Benjamin Horton 1804-1887 Susanna Horton Brisendine 1808-?
