This is not the direct line I was tracing - just happen to go overboard on collecting data - and they remarried into other lines so I have tons of information - some verified and others heresay-

What I have is:

1800 Person Co., N.C.
Willis Horton 1M 26-44; 1F 16-25
1800 Franklin Co., N.C.
Willis Horton 1M 26-44
{could he have gone there to deal with a business problem since they later moved there- most people had land in more than one county due to family and grants}

1810 Person Co - (172)
{Note- Have Heritage Quest at home and only have Ancestry at the library - but Heritage wont let me download the image}

1820 Person Co., N.C. (250 [4550-451]
Willis Horton
2M -10; 1M -18; 2M -26; 1M 45+
3F -10; 1F -26; 1F 45+

1860 Franklin Co., N.C. Bakers X Roads
Martha Horton 65
Binam 27 School Teacher
Emily 24
Joseph 21 m
Frances 18 f

So the assumptions are:
If this is the same Willis in Person Co in 1800; 1810; 1820 could it be the same Willis Horton who married Elizabeth Nichols on Person Co?
I have him as dying in 1867 in TN but can not locate him in 1860 - not a real fact but since you say he remarried a Martha and she claimed all the property is it possible he died prior to 1860 in Franklin Co - even though the children went to Tennessee and Alabama?

Like I said I don't have proof - such as a Nichols will stating the daughter's name.

Hope it helps,
Let me know what you think,
Betty
