Miles Terry, son of William and Rachel Terry of Botetourt Co., Va, married Hannah HORTON. About the same time of their marriage in 1783 on the tax lists for the county are two HORTON men: a William Horton and a Joseph Horton.
It is probable that this woman was a daughter and/or sibling to one or both of these men.
Since Miles Terry removed to points west (Tennessee and Kentucky) along with other family members in the days prior and after the death and estate settlement of his parents (he is on the tax list until the late 1790's).
Of note, is that the Bucks Co., PA group and the group out of Southold, Long Island, marry into several Horton lines across several generations. One group goes into New Jersey.
Any male descendants of HORTON might consider comparing their DNA to those family group projects online. Do the lines in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and Kentucky share a common DNA or are their differences?
