    David is the son of John B Horton Jr, great grandson of Abraham Horton, who moved from Pennsylvania to North Carolina in the 1700s. His grandfather John B Horton Sr married Ann, Anna or Nancy Ann Green, who was of Cherokee descent. For this he was dismissed from the New Garden Friends Monthly Meeting.

    John Sr was among Cherokees who signed the 1817 Cherokee treaty with the United States to exchange their lands for new lands in Arkansas, part of the Louisiana Purchase and later Missouri Territory. According to his obituary in February 1923, David was born near Iron Mountain in St Francois County, Missouri, in the southeastern part of Missouri.

    David married Margaret Susannah Lane 24 December 1857. (His obituary says the date was 25 Dec 1858.) Some sources say it was in St Clair County, Missouri, others say St Francois County.

    His obituary reports that the date of death was 4 February 1923, but the burial register of Doe Run Cemetery reports the date of death as 3 Feb 1923.
