In the line of William Terry of Botetourt Co., Va, his son Miles Terry married a Hannah Horton. At the time of their marriage the local tax records listed two Horton men: a Joseph and a William.
It was with great interest as I tracked down the lineage of the three Terry men who arrived in 1635 aboard the JAMES (Thomas, Richard and Robert) that I found in the line of Richard Terry (1618-1676) who married an Abigail, a son who married a HORTON. Richard had children, listed in his Will, Gershom, Samuel, Abigail, Nathaniel, Richard Jr., and John. Nathaniel md a Mary Horton and their daughter Phoebe Terry md Caleb Horton (1687-1772).
Most of these Hortons, like the Terry's arrived in Massachusetts, migrated briefly in Connecticut, then some into Burlington Co., NJ and then, for some of the Terry, into Pennsylvania. Most of the Horton and Richard Terry line are linked by graveyards to the Presbyterian churches of the areas.
Phoebe and her husband Caleb Horton had children: Mary Horton Terry, Elijah Horton, Nathan Horton, Nathaniel Horton, and Phoebe Horton Tuthill.
Anyone with information about the Horton DNA might look to these lines and see if they connect to the line of Hannah Horton Terry, wife of Miles Terry.
