Life History

Notes

• 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.

  In 1850, John and Susan were enumerated in the census in Concord Township of Washington County, Missouri.  All the children were reported born in Missouri.  Christopher was the older at age 25, so they were in Missouri at least by 1825.
