William Horn(e)
1690-1754 , Virginia, North Carolina
This is an attempt to document material I have assembled on the descendants of a certain
William Horn and his wife, Margaret, who appeared in Nansemond County VA in the late
1600's, shortly thereafter became numerous and well established in upper eastern North
Carolina, and then spread to the South and West in substantial numbers.

Generation 1
To the best of my knowledge, there is no reliable information, but only speculation, as to who might
be the parents of either William Horn (1690-1754) of Nansemond County, Virginia or his
contemporaries, Richard Horne of Northampton County, NC and Henry Horn who died in 1761
in Edgecomb County North Carolina.
On the other hand, fragmentary information about a number of other Horn's, present in the
colonies prior to the time of William, Richard, and Henry Horn(e) is available, the earliest of
which I am aware having been documented in the listing of the citizens living in Jamestown
and surrounding areas in 1623. In the "Lists of the Livinge & the Dead in Virginia, February
16, 1623" both a Henry Horn and a Richard Horun (sic) are listed as living on the Surry side of
the James River. No further documentation of these two men is available. (This information,
now widely available, was first provided to me by Gwen B. Horne and discussed in interesting
detail in her contribution to the Ray Horn book.)
It is, of course, tempting to speculate that these two Horn's, Richard and Henry, known to be
and documented in the Jamestown VA area in 1623, are our progenitors, but I believe at this
remote stage, there is little likelihood of determining how these or other Horn's unknown are
related to the several other very early Horn's of which we have some documentation.
Nevertheless, it is worth noting that other Horn families are documented in Virginia in the
1600's, affording at least a potential genealogical link between Richard and Henry Horn of
Jamestown, Virginia and the three Horn families who entered North Carolina in the early
1700's.
Of particular interest is the limited but intriguing data on two men, father and son, each
named Thomas Horne.
About 25 years after the Jamestown census of 1623, a Thomas Horne appeared in Norfolk
County, VA, before 1650, where he married Johanna Yates and purchased land from her
brother, Richard Yates in 1649. This Thomas Horne is apparently of the age to potentially be a
son of either Richard or Henry of 1623 Jamestown, but there is no evidence known to me to
support this hypothetical relationship.
The following information on the family of Thomas Horne of Norfolk is based on material I
have obtained indirectly from an Elizabeth Gabriel of Crested Butte, CO who sent this
information to Etheldred P. Horn, in 1995.
"Thel" also provided me with information from the book, Cavaliers and Pioneers, by Nell M.
Nugent, p540, where the following entry is recorded: "THOMAS HORNE, 300 acs. nere the head
of the W. br of Eliz.Riv., adj land of Jane Wigglesworth; 27 Sept. 1665, p 453, (548). Granted
unto Robt. Capps & Robt. Spring 30 May 1653, & by them sould to sd. Horne."
In addition Thel Horn sent me an accompanying detailed plat of the ownership of many
properties in this area of Norfolk County, VA. Elizabeth Gabriel is a 9th G-granddtr of Thomas
Horne and Johanna Yates, via their daughter, Hanna.
Ms. Gabriel's information indicates the following: 1. Thomas1 Horne was born Bef. 1628 1 , and
died Abt. 16582 . He married (1) Johanna Yates, daughter of John Yates and Joane Unknown.
She died March 1652/53. He married (2) Jane Rigglesworth.
Children of Thomas Horne and Johanna Yates are:
2 i. Hanna 2 Horne, born Bef. 1645. She married John II Herbert.
3 ii. Thomas Horne, born Bef. 1652; died Aft. 1664.
4 iii. Elizabeth Horne, born Bef. 1652.
According to Gabriel's correspondence, the following references are cited:
1) Alice Granberry Walter (comp.). Herbert in England and Virginia 1399 - 1900. 1977. Virginia
Beach, VA. Horn bought land from Richard Yates, his brother-in-law, in 1649.

Wills 1637 - 1710. 1914, Rpt. Westminster, MD: Family Line Publications, n. d. P 23. Joane Yates
1664 will names as grandchildren the three listed children of Thomas Horne and Johanna
Yates.
Gabriel recommends further examining Lower Norfolk County Court Records.
This Thomas Horne was a cooper. ***
If Elizabeth Gabriel is correct as to the time of death of the older Thomas Horne, it appears
likely that it is Thomas Horne, the son, who is the 1665 purchaser of the 300 acres on Western
branch of Elizabeth River. Note the important association that the older Thomas Horne second
married Jane Rigglesworth, who was probably the widowed owner of 200 acres just to the west
of Thomas Horne's 300 acres, shown on the available plat.
If the son, Thomas Horne, were born in, say 1640 - 1645, he would be of age to possibly be the
father of William Horn of Nansemond, Richard, Henry, and other Horns. The time and location
appears to admit of the possibility.
In the Virginia Rent Rolls of 1704 (obtained from RootsWeb.com) two Horn(e)s are listed,
affording independent documentation that two men with such names lived in southeastern
Virginia at the beginning of the 1700's: ! Richard Horne, Surry County ! Wm Horne,
Nansemond County I presume these two men are the Richard Horne who soon removed to
Northampton County, NC, and the William Horn of Nansemond who then came to live in
Chowan Precinct and its derivative counties in northeastern North Carolina, early in the
1700's.
William, Richard, and Henry Horn(e) enter North Carolina
The first three Horn families that moved into eastern North Carolina, presumably from adjacent
Virginia, in the early 1700's included William Horn and his wife, Margaret, Richard Horne and
his wife, Sarah, and Henry Horne and his wife, Elizabeth. These men were of similar age, and it
appears likely, but unproven, that they were brothers.
Based on the "Virginia Quit Roll Rent of 1704", mentioned above, it appears that both William
Horn and Richard Horn lived and owned property in Virginia prior to moving south to North
Carolina. The Thomas Horn who purchased 300 acres on Western Branch of the Elizabeth
River in Norfolk County in 1665 is possibly the father of one or more of these three men, but
no evidence to support that possibility is known.
Richard and Sarah appear to have entered North Carolina first, and from 1716 to 1724 they
owned property and lived on Turkey Creek, west of the Meherrin River, near the present town
of Murfreesboro. In 1723 they obtained a patent for 640 acres, a few miles to the southwest,
and they relocated to this tract north of Potecasi Creek and west of Paddy's Delight (creek),
retaining this property until 1746.
William Horn, listed as an owner of 100 acres in Nansemond County, VA in 1704, in 1718
received three Royal land grants for a total of about 1000 acres of land, also said to be in
Nansemond County, VA. It now appears that this 1000 acres, granted by the King to William,
was actually located on land that proved to be in the Chowan precinct of NC, just south of the
VA/NC border as it was established in the resurvey of 1728, land that was located near Eure,
NC, in the present day county of Gates. This issue is discussed in detail in the Notes to
William Horn. The location of the 100 acres listed to William "of Nansemond" in 1704, whether
or not it is in proximity to the 1718 grants, is unknown to me.
In 1729 Henry Horne and his wife Elizabeth purchased 290 acres at the head of the Cashie
River, north of the present town of Lewiston, where they apparently lived until Henry's death
Page 3 of 97
Generation 1
in 1761. (The Cashie River property appears to have been in Bertie County, then and now; Henry's will
is an Edgecombe County document, and it appears that Henry may have also had Edgecomb
property, since he and his wife and children witnessed Edgecomb County deeds to property
on Fishing Creek and Sappony Swamp in the 1750's).
In about1730 or within a few years thereafter, William Horn and his wife Margaret purchased
property on Ahoskey Pocoson, just south of Rich Square, and lived there until 1743, located
between and just a few miles from the properties owned by Richard Horne and Henry Horne.
Thus, by 1730 all three of these families had relocated to North Carolina and all were living
within 10 to 20 miles of each other.
There is fragmentary evidence suggesting that other Horn men, contemporaries of the above
three were present in the area at this time, men who may well be related to the three better
known Horns listed above.
A Michael Horne is named as a witness to three Bertie County deeds dated 1729, and Henry
Horne is also named in all three. A Michael Horn also witnesses two deeds in which William
Horn and wife Margaret sell Nansemond County property at about the time they are about to
relocate into NC. William and Margaret's son named David Michael is said to have been born
about 1721, thus disqualifying this Michael as the witness to the documents cited. Perhaps this
earlier Michael was a brother or cousin to William and/or Henry. Nothing further is known
about this person.
Henry Horn's 1761 will refers to a brother, Moses, as executor of his will. This Moses Horn is
clearly not Moses Horn, the son of William, nor is he Moses Horn, the grandson of Richard
Horne. No other documentation of Henry's brother Moses is known to me.
The fact that three large Horn families, living near each other, each with several sons,
frequently used the same given names has sometimes led to great difficulty in differentiating
the lineage of various individuals. The particular frequent use of the names Thomas, Henry,
and William has been problematical.
Another well documented Horn line from that area of Virginia appears to descend from a
James Horn (1720-1793) of Sussex County VA, seemingly one generation younger than William
of Nansemond and his hypothetical brother, Richard (vide supra). James' relation to William
and Richard, if any, is unknown to me. From this James of Sussex line, his grandson,
Frederick Horn (1771-1849) appeared in the Nashville, TN area and a number of his
descendants are recorded in the middle Tennessee area. One fairly well known Tennessean
from this line was a 20th century writer of a number of historical works, Stanley F. Horn. A
nicely detailed description of this Horn line is in Broderbund World Family Tree, CD ,
pedigree !. I have made no attempt to incorporate the descendants of this James Horn into
the present treatise.

Addendum:
Various listings of isolated individuals in the colonies with the name of Horn(e) have been
located. For example, it has been called to my attention by Larry Horn of Fayetteville, Arkansas
that there are several other references to individuals with the surname of Horn(e) in "Cavaliers
and Pioneers", by Nugent. He mentions these citations: 1) "James Knott, 1200 acs. Eliz. City

As you may know, the county of Upper Norf., or upper Co. of New Norf.,
became Nansemond in l646.

surname Horn(e), and a paper trail to the same small area of eastern NC in the late 1700's. The first two
listed above, Bryan C. Horn and Robert G. Horn are descended from Josiah Horn of Montgomery
County, TN, a grandson of Henry the Quaker, via his son William. The third listed participant, Ethelred
Horn, was a direct descendant of Henry the Quaker, via Henry's son Joel. The fourth listed in this
group, John Long Horne, has a clear paper trail to a Henry Horn of Pitt County NC, born about 1805,
although as yet the identity of the parents of Henry Horn of Pitt, NC has not been established.
Because Henry Horn the Quaker and Richard Horn 1716 were contemporaries living in the same area
of NC, it has been regarded as likely that these two were cousins, sons of William Horn of Nansemond
County and Richard Horn of Northampton County, respectively, but the present yDNA data does not
support genetic kinship between Henry Horn 1716 and Richard Horn 1716. (Interpretation of Robert G.
Horn).

1. WILLIAM H.1 HORN was born Abt. 1683 in in Nansemond County, VA, and died Abt. October
1753 in Edgecomb Co. NC. He married MARGRET UNKNOWN .
According to Dr. R.G. Horn in his book “William Horn and the Next Six Generations", William
Horn was clearly the patriarch of many Horne generations to following originating in
Nansemond County area of Virginia migrating southward to Edgecomb County North
Carolina. Succeeding Horn families continued the southward migration throughout the
Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and westward to Arkansas and Louisiana.
William Horn a number of property transactions during the late 1600's and early 1700's in the
Nansemond Virginia and surrounding area clearly establish him as settling there for many
years before migrating south to Edgecomb County NC. William Horne appears on the tax rolls
( "Virginia Quit Rent Roll of 1704" located on the internet at www.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/va/
vafiles.htm) for Nansemond County. He apparently had 100 acres of property.
Dr. Horn further documents and theorizes from the land and property transactions that three
Horn families migrated south to North Carolina over the span of several years from 1716 to
1729. Richard Horne and his wife Sarah in 1716; William Horn and his wife Margaret in 1723;
and finally Henry Horne and his wife Elizabeth in 1729. Perhaps all three men were brothers
since they appeared to be around the same ages and lived in proximity of one another. This
remains unproven to date.
Dr. Horn records an undocumented source indicating that Margaret name may be Margret
(Mae) Neal, b. 1694 in Virginia. Through various email conversations I have had personally
with Beth Thurman, there seems to be a connection between an O'Neal and Horn families
connected to William H. Horn. Perhaps William's wife Margret is that connection.

Little is known about Moses Horn. I have an email posting on the Rootsweb Genealogy
Message Board by Vicki Burgess Roach on a real property transaction Moses Horn made to
James Hodges in 1767. This is interesting because the Hodges family also turns up in Twiggs
County Georgia and again in Louisiana along with the Allen’s. Could they have known one
another for generations? Old family friends migrated from area to area together was the
custom in those days. The transaction was recorded in Deed Book 10 1767-1770 on page 80 as
follows:

Generation No. 3
3. ABISHA(I) 3 HORNE was born Abt. 1743 in Edgecomb Co. NC, and died 1795 in Edgecomb
Co. NC. He married MARY RICKS before 1770. I suspect the marriage occurred in the Halifax
Page 11 of 97
Generation 2
District of Edgecombe County in North Carolina.
A notation written in the margin of the Horne Family Bible says "Mary was a Ricks". Not sure
about the relationship, but Jacob and Susannah Ricks were founding members of the
Richland Baptist Church in Twiggs County. Was Mary Ricks and Jacob Ricks brothers? Did
the Ricks family migrate to Twiggs County with the Horne family sometime in the early 1800’s?
These are questions whose answers could lead to the ancestry of Gideon Allen.
The first record of Abisha Horne shows up in the 1790 Federal Census. His listing documents
that his household consisted of a number of children and a few slaves.
The 1790 Census Records from Edgecombe County, NC (Halifax District pg. 540) listing
shows:
2 Free White Males >16yrs of age
2 Free White Males <16yrs of age

Mary Ricks died around 1780, perhaps during or shortly after the birth of her 8 th child,
Nancy. Shortly after Mary’s death, Abishai married ANN RICKS , daughter of JAMES RICKS
and PHOEBE HORN . Dr. R.G. Horn cites that Mary and Ann Ricks were first cousins to one
another in his book “William Horn and the Next Six Generations". Ann Ricks was born in 1747
in Edgecomb Co. NC, and died in 1792.
After Abishai Horn's death, his estate was settled in November 1796. His property consisted
primarily of 1496 acres divided into 3 tracts on the Tar River and Buck Swamp. It is said that
each of Moses three sons received a tract of land with Abisha Jr. receiving the one containing
the dwelling. Which three sons? Abishai had five sons. Perhaps it was the first three. Or the
three sons who still lived in the vicinity. Regardless, it is unclear whether Joab Horn received
an inheritance that may have led to his decision to leave the area to migrate south to Georgia.
[Note: Abishai Horne retained the English spelling of his last name. The ‘e’ in Horne was
dropped in the spelling of his descendant’s names on many of the documents after 1800. The
spelling of Abishai. is recorded with and without the ‘i’. Abishai himself writes his name with
the ‘i’, but in many documents where the name is recorded by an Enumerator or other local
official, the ‘i’ is absent. All records of his son Abisha dropped the ‘i’ from the spelling.]
Generation No. 4
4. JOAB 4 HORN was born September 20, 1775, and died October 15, 1856. He married NANCY
DIXON December 29, 1796, daughter of JESSE DIXON and ELIZABETH BELL . She was born
December 20, 1777, and died January 26, 1843. JOAB 2 HORN married for the second time to
(2) ISABELLA DAVIDSON on April 11, 1843.
Perhaps the earliest record of the Horns being present in Twiggs County shows up in 1813.
Joab Horn is listed in the reconstructed census taken in 1813. The entry reads:
"1813 Horne, Joab Guardian of Nancy Green (orphan of John), Twiggs County deed"
Joab Horn does not show up in the 1820 Twiggs census, but does in 1830. However I find him
again on October 1st, 1819 through an article in the Georgia Journal (Milledgeville)
Newspaper. Joab Horn was listed as having a letter in the Post Office in Marion Georgia. Also
he shows up again the July 22, 1823 issue as having a letter.
Several references to Joab Horn business transactions have been discovered from newspaper
Page 12 of 97
Generation 2
accounts. On April 1, 1824 a Sheriff Sales was held at the Marion Court House. Joab Horn sold two
negro slaves to satisfy a debt to Robert Radford. In the Sat, May 30, 1829 issue of the Georgia
Journal, a Sheriff Sales at the Marion Courthouse was conducted. Joab Horn sold 202 ! acres
of land (land lot 92) and a slave named Shade to satisfy a debt to the Bank of Darien. It’s
interesting to note that 202 ! acres was the parcel size of the land lots awarded to land lottery
winners in Georgia. I have not found any references to any of the Horns being awarded land
during the lottery that was held when Twiggs County was formed.

surname Horn(e), and a paper trail to the same small area of eastern NC in the late 1700's. The first two
listed above, Bryan C. Horn and Robert G. Horn are descended from Josiah Horn of Montgomery
County, TN, a grandson of Henry the Quaker, via his son William. The third listed participant, Ethelred
Horn, was a direct descendant of Henry the Quaker, via Henry's son Joel. The fourth listed in this
group, John Long Horne, has a clear paper trail to a Henry Horn of Pitt County NC, born about 1805,
although as yet the identity of the parents of Henry Horn of Pitt, NC has not been established.
Because Henry Horn the Quaker and Richard Horn 1716 were contemporaries living in the same area
of NC, it has been regarded as likely that these two were cousins, sons of William Horn of Nansemond
County and Richard Horn of Northampton County, respectively, but the present yDNA data does not
support genetic kinship between Henry Horn 1716 and Richard Horn 1716. (Interpretation of Robert G.
Horn).

CHAPTER FOUR
HENRY HORNE, SR.
By his own reckoning, Henry Horne, Sr., was born on November 21, 1716 (1). At least, this is
the date that he gives the Quakers to enter into their records of his family. He was one of the
youngest children of William and Margaret Horne, born when they still lived in Chowan-Bertie
Counties, probably on the place known as The Banks of Italy.
Around 1736, Henry married a young lady named Ann. Her last name is believed to have been
Purcell (2). Ann was born on April 1, 1723 (3), which would have made her around 14 when she
married Henry. Henry and Ann had slew of children: William (born on March 30, 1738), Esther
(born on April 6, 1740), Isaac (born on May 7, 1742), Henry, Jr. (born on May 10, 1744), Jacob
(born on March 10, 1748), Mourning (born on March 10, 1748), Phebe (born on September 14,
1749), Joel (born on August 14, 1751), Thomas (born on March 24, 1753), Charity (born on
November 19, 1755), Selah (born on February 13, 1758), Demarias (born on May 31, 1760), and
Jeremiah (born on November 1, 1763) (4). We can thank the Quakers and their incredibly
detailed meeting minutes for those exact birthdates, a rarity in the pre-Revolutionary South.
Henry, Sr., was a Quaker. There are no known records showing that his father, William, was a
Quaker. Unfortunately, the published Quaker records begin in 1750, which was at the end of
William's life. So, it's quite possible that William Horne was a Quaker, and we just can't tell.
Page 15 of 97
Generation 3
Some family researchers have said he was, and it would make sense. The area of Virginia where he
was born (Nansemond County), was a hotbed of Quaker activity, and the Quakers founded a
meeting house in Chowan County in the late 1600s. Right now, however, we have nothing
concrete to go on.
So, at the moment, it appears that either Henry was attracted by the Quaker faith and joined the
church, or else he joined as a prerequisite for marrying Ann.
A Brief History of the Quakers
The Quakers, or Society of Friends as they are formally known, is a denomination in the
Christian church, dating back to England in 1648. Founded by George Fox as a nonconformist breakaway from the more strict Puritans, Quakers had a theology that ran contrary
to both the Puritans and the established Church of England (Anglicans). Fox believed that all
people had a direct access to God, and could experience him at any time, not needing a pastor
or priest to intercede for him or her. Fox rejected the doctrine of Sola Scriptura (the Bible
alone is the Word of God) and stressed the importance of Jesus as the Word of God.
Quakers also rejected the idea of sacraments or creeds, and had no formal minister. All
people were ministers, according to Fox. When Quakers met, they sat in silence, until "moved
on by the Holy Spirit," and stood up and either said or sang whatever they felt. Whenever
someone was recognized as a minister in Quaker records, it was because that person had a
spiritual gift that the entire assembly felt it needed at every meeting.
Quakers dressed plainly, rejecting the more flamboyant style of clothing worn by both
Anglicans and Puritans. They did not, however, go to the extreme of the Amish. They also
practiced non-violence, abhorring war, although many did fight in the American Revolution,
seeing that conflict as a necessity to end the persecution of their faith.
Quakers derived their name from George Fox's statement during one of his trails that "all men
should tremble before God." The name was used at first as an insult, but the Society of
Friends actually liked it, and began calling themselves that.
They were a tight bunch. While Quakers welcomed new members from other denominations,
they frowned on members associating formally with non-Quakers. Members would be
dismissed and shunned for marrying non-Quakers.
Many Quakers came to the American colonies to get away from the persecution back home.
They were the charismatics of their time. Imagine how charismatics are looked at today by
Episcopalians and Baptists ... except the Anglicans and Puritans would just shoot the Quakers
instead of merely rolling their eyes. Many Quakers came to New York, North Carolina and
Virginia before the founding of Pennsylvania as a refuge for the denomination.
While the Quakers still exist today, they had their heyday during the early part of the 18th
Century, during that era's mass revivals (5).
===
On June 1, 1757, Henry, Sr., requested to come under the care of the Society of Friends
meeting in Piney Woods. Pine Woods was the Quaker meeting in Bertie County, although
Henry was listed as living in Edgecombe County in the Piney Woods Quaker records. No
Page 16 of 97
Generation 3
record has surfaced yet to show whether Henry belonged to the Quaker church prior to this date.
He tried to be a good Quaker, and apparently was successful to a point. Twice, he was
recommended by the assembly to be a minister, meaning he had some gift that the assembly
recognized as crucial to their worship services. The first was in February, 1759, when the
Piney Woods assembly recommended him. The second time was in Rich Square. Rich Square
met in Edgecombe County, a lot closer to Henry's home, so he transfered his membership.
On August 1, 1762, they recommended Henry to be a minister in that assembly. We can only
guess what his gift was. Perhaps he had a great oratory voice and was good at reading the
Bible aloud. Or perhaps he had a great singing voice. Or maybe he was just a very
reassuring man and put people at ease with what he said.
Even though Henry was a good Quaker, he was not doctrinaire about his religion. Certainly
not doctrinaire enough to insist that his children follow Quaker standards. His son, William,
was dismissed for marrying a non-Quaker. So was daughter Mourning. Both sons Henry, Jr.,
and Isaac were kicked out, although the records don't say why.
Finally, in 1774, a major rift occurred between the Rich Square Quaker assembly and Henry
Horne, Sr. On November 19, 1774, the meeting criticized Henry for not condemning his
daughter's marriage to a non-Quaker. The records don't say which daughter, but Phebe and
Charity were his oldest single daughters at the time. Worse, the wedding happened in Henry's
own home! Horrors! Henry apparently did not apologize, nor disown his daughter, for in
June, 1775, he and his wife Ann were kicked out of the Quaker church.
Henry and Ann tried to mend fences. On June 16, 1775, they condemned their breach of
discipline (but not their daughter's marriage), and the meeting deferred their dismissal. The
issue kept getting worse, however, and finally, on February 17, 1776, Henry and Ann were
dismissed, once and for all. The situation was severe enough that Rich Square also
dismissed Henry's sons Jacob and Joel, and his daughters Phebe and Charity. Somehow,
Henry's sons Thomas and Jeremiah remained out of the squabble. Only Jacob returned to the
Quaker church. The rest went their own separate ways.
It didn't take Henry Horne, Sr., very long to divorce himself from Quaker theology. Being free
from the Quakers also meant he was free from the doctrine of non-violence. So, he took up a
musket and the Patriot cause, and joined the North Carolina militia during the American
Revolution. At the moment, it is unclear which unit he served in, and if he saw any action.
He also divorced himself from the Quaker theology of anti-slavery. By the time he died in
1797, Henry Horne, Sr., owned seven slaves. But while he may have embraced the Southern
concept of slavery, Henry did not embrace the Southern treatment of slaves. He treated them
very well, and looked forward to being able to grant his slaves their freedom. In his will,
Henry stated that two of his slaves were to be freed upon his death. The other five were to be
freed if the laws of the land changed. Otherwise, they were to remain with the family and not
to be sold for a profit.
Henry learned how to be a good neighbor from his father, William. On February 7, 1742/43, he
witnessed the will of Owen MacDaniel. In 1751, Henry served as witness to the sale of land by
Page 17 of 97
Generation 3
George Stephenson to Needham Bryan. He must have been fairly close to George Stephenson,
because on June 25, 1753, he was testator to his will. Together with his brother Thomas,
Henry was testator to the will of Sarah Wall on November 2, 1754.
During the Revolution, Henry's son Thomas moved to Dobbs County. Following the
Revolution, his sons Henry, Jr., Jacob and Jeremiah also left Edgecombe County for Dobbs
County. Henry, Sr., went with them. Why not? He still had one last adventure left in him.
Again, there has been some dispute among Horne researchers as to whether the two Henry
Hornes in Dobbs County are the same as the two who did so many glorious things during the
American Revolution up in Edgecombe County. The Quakers come to our rescue here!
From the Quaker records we know that the Henry Horne, Sr., who lived in Edgecombe County,
had two sons named Thomas and Jeremiah. According to the Quakers, on April 19, 1777,
Thomas Horne and his wife Selah, request a certificate of transfer from the Rich Square
Monthly Meeting, in Edgecombe County, to the Contentnea Monthly Meeting, which was held
in Dobbs County (later Wayne County) (6). On December 21, 1782, Jeremiah also requests a
transfer from Rich Square to Contentnea, as did brother Jacob (7).
From his will, we also know that the Henry Horne who dies in Wayne County had two sons
named Thomas and Jeremiah. The Quaker records dovetail perfectly with the will, proving that
the Thomas and Jeremiah of Edgecombe are the same as the Thomas and Jeremiah in Henry
Horne's will.
We can apply some simple common sense here (also known in genealogical circles as the
preponderance of evidence rule): if the Thomas Horne of Edgecombe County is the same as
the Thomas Horne of Dobbs/Wayne County, and the Jeremiah Horne of Edgecombe County is
the same as the Jeremiah Horne of Dobbs/Wayne County, then the Henry Hornes of
Edgecombe County are the same as the Henry Hornes of Dobbs/Wayne County.
At any rate, Henry Horne, Sr., and his sons weren't in Dobbs County very long before Dobbs
was split in half. Living in the western half of Dobbs, the Hornes found themselves in the
newly formed county of Wayne, named for Revolutionary War general "Mad Anthony" Wayne.
Once again, Hornes changed counties without ever moving. The remaining part of Dobbs
County was renamed Glasgow and Lenoir Counties in 1791.
Henry, Sr., lived in Wayne County the rest of his days, dying there in 1797.
Here is the will of Henry Horne, Sr., reproduced in its entirety:
"Be it remembered that I Henry Horn of Wayne County and State of North Carolina do make

There are some interesting things to note in this will. First, who is Henry's wife Patience?
Ann must have died at some point, and Henry remarried, but we have no record of either
occurring.
Second, remember that leaving a child a small sum of money, like five shillings, is a sign of
respect and affection, not disownment. He left more to the girls he thought needed it.
Third, notice how he treats his slaves. He doesn't see them as mere chattel property. He
values them, and wants to free them.
Fourth, this is a huge estate! In his old age, Henry Horne, Sr., was becoming a plantation
owner.
Fifth, he leaves the bulk of his estate to Thomas, Jacob and Jeremiah. They had moved to
Wayne County with Henry and his son, Henry, Jr. Since Henry, Jr., is not listed as an
executor, we can deduce that he had already moved to Onslow County by the time Henry, Sr.,
died.
The Children of Henry Horne, Sr.
Page 19 of 97
Generation 3
William Horne
The eldest of Henry's children, William married Celia Richardson on August 2, 1758 (9). They
had one child, a son named Nathan, born on April 9, 1759. Unfortunately, Nathan died on
January 1, 1760 (10). Celia must have died not too long after that, because on August 1, 1761,
William was dismissed from the Rich Square meeting for marrying Mary Thomas, a non-Quaker
(11). They married on July 20, 1761, in Edgecombe County (12). He was restored to
membership as a Quaker at Rich Square on June 5, 1762 (13). During that time, William and
Mary had a daughter, Priscilla, born on May 12, 1762.
William's tenure with the Quakers didn't last much longer than that. On May 16, 1767, the
Quakers booted him out again; this time, it was for joining another denomination (14).
Esther Horne
Esther married Andrew Ross, Jr., on March 7, 1759 (15).
Isaac Horne
Isaac married Elsie Richardson on July 3, 1761 (16). On July 16, 1768, he was asked to leave
the Quakers for a non-disclosed reason (17).
Henry Horne, Jr.
Henry is covered in his own chapter.
Jacob Horne
Jacob had a rocky relationship with the Quakers, but seems to have been determined to
remain with the faith. He was kicked out of the church on February 17, 1776, along with his
parents, brother Joel and sisters Phebe and Charity (18). The records do not say that he
returned, but he must have. On September 15, 1781, he condemns his marriage to a nonQuaker (19). Then, on September 21, 1782, Jacob asks for a certificate to join the Quaker
church in Contentnea, down in Wayne County, where he was about to move (20).
He remains quiet, and mostly out of the Contentnea records, until September 12, 1825, when
he joins Jeremiah in asking for a certificate to join the Quaker church in New Garden, Indiana
(21). He was 77 years old. Not too old, apparently, to make the great trek from his native
North Carolina to the unknown of the Mid-West.
Mourning Horne
On March 17, 1769, Mourning was kicked out of the Quaker church for marrying a non-Quaker
(22). We're still trying to figure out who she married.
Phebe Horne
Phebe married a man with the surname of Ricks. For this, she was expelled from the Quakers,
on February 17, 1776 (23). Her marriage could have been the one that caused the final rift
between her parents and the Quakers.
Joel Horne
Joel only appears in the Quaker records once; when he is asked to leave along with his
parents. By 1784, he is living in Johnston County, North Carolina, where he appears in the
state census for that year (24).
Thomas Horne
Page 20 of 97
Generation 3
Of all of Henry's children, Thomas seems to be the most devout Quaker.
On September 21, 1771, Thomas marries a Quaker girl named Celia Vick (25). Their children
were Ann (born on December 25, 1771), Abel (born December 27, 1773), Demaris (born April 29,
1776), Nathan (born July 8, 1778), Joel (born September 9, 1781), Mary (born November 6,
1783), Sarah (born May 26, 1786), Orpha (born December 18, 1788), Sidney (born July 7, 1790),
and Thomas (born April 27, 1793) (26). Ann, Abel and Demaris were born in Edgecombe
County. The rest were born in Wayne County. Notice how close Ann's date of birth is to her
parents' wedding date! Not even Quakers were immune from a little fooling around in the back
of Dad's wagon.
Thomas stayed with the Rich Square meeting through the fight between them and his parents.
He was so orthodox in his Quaker beliefs that he even publicly condemned having attended a
non-Quaker wedding (27).
Thomas was the first of Henry's sons to move to Wayne County. On April 19, 1777, he and his
wife requested certificates to relocate to Contentnea (28). Considering that this is early in the
American Revolution, we can surmise that being a Quaker, and a practitioner of nonviolence,
Thomas wanted to move away from the center of Carolinian rebellion.
The Contentnea records tell us what happened to a few of Thomas' children. The eldest follow
in Thomas' footsteps. The younger children ... well, they seem to take after their more nontraditional aunts and uncles.
Ann married Jesse Parker on February 9, 1794 (29).
Abel married Elizabeth Outland on November 19, 1795 (30). The Quakers are kind enough to
record the births of his children in the Contentnea meeting minutes. They are Charity (born
October 1, 1799), Rebecca (born April 11, 1802), Elizabeth (born April 2, 1804), Rix (born March
20, 1806), and Mahala (born January 3, 1809) (31). All of them were born in Wayne County.
Rebecca would go on to marry Zachariah Morris on November 19, 1817, in Wayne County (32).
Demaris married David Bundy on February 16, 1797 (33).
On February 8, 1805, Sarah was dismissed for marrying a non-Quaker named Elventon (34).
Mary followed in her sister's footsteps, married a non-Quaker named Barnes, and was told to
leave the church on July 11, 1807 (35).
Orpha was dismissed on October 8, 1808 ... for marrying "too close kin" (36). She had married
David Bundy, husband of her deceased sister, Demaris (37).
Finally, Thomas, Jr., was dismissed for marrying outside the church, on August 10, 1818 (38).
Charity Horne
Charity was kicked out of the Rich Square meeting for marrying a non-Quaker named William
Battle (39).
Jeremiah Horne
Jeremiah was as faithful to the Quakers as big brother Thomas. He moved to Wayne County
in 1782, and joined the Contentnea meeting (40). Once there, he met Pheriba Peele, whom he
married on May 11, 1783 (41). Their children were Mary (born May 28, 1784), Elizabeth (born
November 3, 1785), Henry (born September 23, 1787), Jesse (born May 17, 1790), Piety (born
Page 21 of 97
Generation 3
May 15, 1793, died August 22, 1793), Piety (they recycled the name; she was born November 16, 1794),
Peggy (August 27, 1797, died April 28, 1801), Christian (born July 30, 1800), Jeremiah, Jr., (born
March 30, 1803), and Phebe (born August 13, 1805) (42). On December 14, 1817, Piety Horne
married Michael Fulghum. Jesse married Michael's sister, Pinninah Fulgum, on December 12,
1818 (43).
In 1824, another great migration of Hornes began, this time to Indiana, as part of an even
larger general migration of Quakers to that state. It began on March 13, when Pheriba, Jesse
and his wife Pinninah, Jeremiah, Jr., and Piety requested certificates to attend the Quaker
church in New Garden, Indiana. Jeremiah, Sr., stayed behind to take care of business, finally
leaving on August 12, 1825, with his brother Jacob (44).

with them. He died of ruptured appendix in 1932 just before Christmas. One of his brothers, Danile
Timothy, was a favorite of my grandmothers. He brought her a china cup and saucer from the World's
