Notes

  • John was born in 1865.  In the 1870 census he is reported as 5 years old.

    The wife's name here PA probably stands for Peggy Ann.  Peggy is a common nickname for Margaret.  The enumerator reported her that John's baby sister Sallie was 1 month old but also that she was born in December, which would make her about 8 months old.

    In the 1880 census in Attala County, Mississippi, John was enumerated with his parents, reported to be 15 years old.  This age matches other birth and age reports for John Berry Horton.
