ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS OF JOHN M. C. (MAC) HORTON BORN IN GEORGIA, 1827.
The ancestors and descendants of WILLIAM HORTON, Mousely, Leicester, England, and ISAAC
HORTON, Gwinnett Co. GA have been added to this WHARTAN/WHARTON family information due to
the fact that the two families of WHARTON/WHORTON and HORTON have quite honestly become
almost indistinguishable since their arrival in America from England. Many WHARTON'S
became WHORTON'S after their arrival in America eventually dropping the "W" spelling the
name HORTON. That is the case for the family of JOHN M. C. (MAC) HORTON. A RACHEL TENNISON
was living with this family in 1850 Benton (Calhoun) Co. Alabama. She married FLETCHER
HORTON, a descendant of JAMES HORTON, Virginia, 1737, and PROSSER HORTON of Georgia, on
11 January 1853. Our relatives most definitely dropped the "W" from WHORTON spelling the
name HORTON sometime during the 1800's.

PROGENITOR LINE FOR JOHN M. C. (MAC) HORTON BORN IN GEORGIA, 1827.
"After immigrating to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia from England, early
WHARTON’S migrated south and west to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and
eventually to Alabama. As they moved, many remained on the frontier and settled
new lands as they were opened. Clerks recording information in deeds, tax records and the
like, frequently spelled names phonetically and the WHARTON name variously appears
as WHARTON, WHORTON, WHOARTON, WHORTEN, and even HORTON. Many of the WHORTON’S in
Alabama appear to be the result of these spelling changes that occurred with WILLIAM
WHARTON who lived in Granville County, North Carolina. In several records his name is
spelled WHORTON. By the time he appears in South Carolina, the spelling seems to have
become permanent as his descendants are consistently referred to as WHORTON’S.”
The above quote is from A WHORTON/WHARTON GENEALOGY: A SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE WHARTON
FAMILY FROM MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA TO NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA AND ALABAMA.

BENJAMIN WHORTON, BARTLETT WHORTON.
WILLIAM & JANE (ROBERTS) WHORTON.

born in SC.
Granville Co. NC/Orange Co. NC.
"WILLIAM WHARTON appeared to live on the western border of Granville Co. in the mid to
late 1700's. At the time, Orange county had just been formed (1752) from part of Granville
Co. Several districts on the western edge of Granville and northeastern edge of Orange
County are variously listed in either county. The area around Deep Creek, where WILLIAM
owned land at one time, is presently in Person Co. (formed in 1791), and very near Cub
creek where RICHARD ROBERTS lived. RICHARD was the father of JANE ROBERTS, WILLIAM'S wife.
The earliest record of WILLIAM in Granville Co. is a listing in 1756 in the Granville Co.
deed books. Apparently he worked frequently as a sworn chain carrier with the surveyor,
WILLIAM CHURTON. WILLIAM'S signature appears on many deeds along with that of other sworn
chain carriers and the surveyor in charge.
1756 (June 18) - WILLIAM WHARTON helped survey land for RICHARD ROBERTS on Davis Creek in
Granville county.
1757 (December) - Minutes from the Granville Co. Court show that WILLIAM was found guilty
of non-performances in a case in which JAMES MITCHELL is the plaintiff:
Jury "upon their oath do say that the defendant (WILLIAM WHARTON) did assume in manner and
form as this plaintiff against him hath declared and they do assess this plaintiff damages
by occasion of his non performances thereof to four pounds sterling wherefore it is
considered by this Court that the plaintiff recover against this defendant his damages
--- in form --- assessed with costs."
1760 - Land Grant - LORD GRANVILLE to WILLIAM WHARTON. Warrant dated 8 March 1760 to
WILLIAM CHURTON to survey 640 acres in Orange Co on both sides of Deep Creek (which is)
the waters of the Flat River, joining THOMAS GIBSON - including the Plantation where
THOMAS COLTING now lives. Grant issued 2 February 1761.
1760 - Land Grant - LORD GRANVILLE to WILLIAM WHARTON. Plat dated 21 June 1760; 190 acres
in Orange Co on both sides of Deep Creek, joining JON DUNAGIN and THOS GIBSON.
1769 - Tax records of Granville County list WILLIAM WHARTON with one male (head of
household). Females were not listed. Prior to 1780 white males over 16 years of age were
also listed. It was up to the head of the household to list son-in-laws (they could be
listed separately even if they lived in the same house).
1771 (February) - Court Minutes, Granville County: "Ordered that WILLIAM WHORTON a
prisoner now in Granville Jail on suspicion of offering to pass counterfeit money, be
conveyed by the Sheriff, to Hillsborough next Superior Court, then and there to be tried."
However at the same time the Regulators "revolt" had started in Hillsborough and Superior
Court was not held for much of 1771. It is not clear that WILLIAM was ever tired or
convicted in this case.
1771 (August 10) - RICHARD ROBERTS deed to WILLIAM WHARTON for his lifetime and, after
his decease, to his daughter, LIDIA WHARTON and her heirs (deed book I, p 242).
1771 - Tax list shows WILLIAM WHORTON with 2 white males in his household. It is not clear
whether or not this is a son of WILLIAM and JANE, or if it is WILLIAM CHANDLER, LIDIA
WHARTON'S husband.
1772 - RICHARD ROBERTS died. In his will dated April 17, 1772 (prob, May Court, 1772),
RICHARD left most of his land along Cub Creek in Orange County and possessions to his
sons and daughters. He left to his daughter, JANE WHORTON, one bed and furniture. The will
was witnessed by WILLIAM CHANDLER and BRITAIN JOHNSTON. It's not clear what happened to
other items: "One still, a parsil of books and 2 Negroes. However RICHARD did leave his
son JOSEPH "one iron pot with a nick broke in the top of the brim". The rest of the estate
was divided equally.
1773 (January) - WILLIAM WHARTON and his wife, JANE, and WILLIAM CHANDLER and his wife,
LYDIA, sold land in Granville County to THOMAS PERSON, January 1, 1773 (Deed book I, page
426). THOMAS PERSON was a big landowner in Granville Co. His home was just north of the
Deep Creek and Cub Creek area. He is famous in history for his role in the Regulator
Revolt.
1773 (December) - WILLIAM WHARTON and his wife, JANE, and WILLIAM CHANDLER and his wife,
LYDIA, deed to JOSEPH ROBERTS (one of RICHARD ROBERT'S sons), 12/21/1773 (Deed book K,
page 143). It is not clear whether or not this is the land WILLIAM owned on Deep Creek
along with land left to WILLIAM and LIDIA by RICHARD ROBERTS (see next entry below).
It is also not clear what happened to WILLIAM after 1773. The Indian lands in South Carolina opened in 1777 and many North Carolinians migrated to that area.
Greenville Co. SC.
WILLIAM WHORTON appears in the 1790 census in South Carolina. The upstate of South
Carolina was opened in 1777 for settlement and was called the 96th district. It was soon
divided into the Pendleton District, Greenville County, Spartanburg County, and others.
WILLIAM lived in Greenville County. BENJAMIN WHORTON, said to be his son, lived in
Anderson County which was part of the Pendleton District.
1790 - 1790 Federal Census, Greenville County: WILLIAM WHORTON (1 male/head of household,
no males under 16, 4 females (wife JANE and daughters), no negroes.
1791 (September 13) - WILLIAM and JANE sold land on the north side of the Saluda River on
both sides of Mountain Creek (waters of Enoree) in Greenville County to WILLIAM CHANDLER
(son-in-law?).
BENJAMIN WHORTON appears in the 1790 census in the Pendleton district. He and a SAMUEL
WHORTON are listed in the land grant records of SC, but these have not been researched yet.
BENJAMIN appears to have moved to Jackson County, GA in about 1801/1802. He sold
200 acres of land in SC in 1797, 200 acres in December, 1801 and 150 acres in December of
1802. He is listed in the Jackson County Tax list in 1801 in the Towsend district. In 1810
BENJAMIN and his sons appear to have owned a large amount of land in Jackson County and
the district in which they lived was named WHORTON district (the name changed by 1817 to
J. HEMPHILL district). He was given land grants of 800 acres in Jackson County in 1817 and
another 255 acres in Hall County in 1830. At this point, I can find no connection between
WILLIAM WH(A/O)RTON and BENJAMIN. In fact I can only find evidence that WILLIAM fathered
daughters. However in Cherokee Co. AL, ELENDER WHORTON, WILLIAM'S daughter, refers to
JOSEPH WHORTON, BENJAMIN'S, as her nephew.
BARTLETT WHORTON born 12/12/1820 in SC - may be the son of BARTLETT WHORTON (possibly
WILLIAM'S son).

Greenville Co. SC, Pendleton Dist. (Anderson Co.) SC, Jackson (Hall) Co. GA.
WHORTONS IN GEORGIA.
As Indian lands were opened in northeast Georgia (Jackson/Hall County), several WHORTONS
migrated from South Carolina. Among the early settlers were BENJAMIN WHORTON who moved
from Pendleton District of South Carolina (Anderson Co.) in the early 1800's.
BENJAMIN WHORTON was born in Granville County, NC about 1760 and moved with his family to
Greenville Co. SC in the mid to late 1770's.
BENJAMIN WHORTON appears in the 1790 census in the Pendleton District of South Carolina.
He and a SAMUEL WHORTON are listed in the land grant records of SC. BENJAMIN sold property
in 1790 in Greenville Co. to WILLIAM CHANDLER (LYDIA WHARTON CHANDLER'S husband) although
he was living in Pendleton District at that time. In 1792 he received a land grant of 383
acres from SC on Oconee Creek (Little River) near the GA state line which he sold in 1793.
He purchased an 275 acres in Pendleton Co. in 1793 and bought 400 more acres in 1795, both
parcels on Cane Creek (Leowee River). In 1801 he was granted 230 by the state of SC also
on Cane Creek.
BENJAMIN appears to have moved to Jackson County, GA in about 1801/1802. He
sold 200 acres of land in SC in 1797, 200 acres in December, 1801 and 150 acres
in December of 1802. He is listed in the Jackson County Tax list in 1801 in
the Towsend district. In 1810 Benjamin and his sons appear to have owned a large
amount of land in Jackson County and the district in which they lived was named
WHORTON district (the name changed by 1817 to J. HEMPHILL district). He was given
land grants of 800 acres in Jackson County in 1817 and another 255 acres in Hall County
in 1830. (Jackson County became Hall County). BENJAMIN WHORTON married OLIVIA (MARY?)
GREEN whose father served in the revolutionary war. Their first five children were born in
SC (WILLIAM, JOSEPH, ABRAHAM, ANNE, ISAAC) other children (JACOB, MARY) were born in GA.
While in Jackson Co. BENJAMIN was Justice of the Peace in 1803 and 1811 and drew land in
Hall County as a Revolutionary Way soldier in the Lottery of 1825.
At least five of BENJAMIN'S sons eventually migrated to Alabama soon after the Indian wars
of 1812-14 (in which they fought). Captain JOSEPH WHORTON was commandant of Fort Daniel in
Gwinnett Co. GA in 1813. They eventually settled in Cherokee and St. Clair Counties in
Alabama. The 1820 census of St. Clair contains the names of ABRAHAM and WILLIAM WHARTON.

Also spelled WHORTON in many documents. Also enumerated in Jackson County in 1820 are
SHEROD (SHERWOOD) (230001-31001-0),
JAMES HORTON (111301-00110-7), and JOSEPH WHORTON (510020-30020-0; JOSEPH married SALLY
MOORE.) STEPHEN HORTON (No. 183) was in Gwinnett County; ISAAC HORTON and BENJAMIN WHORTON
in Hall County; EDWIN HORTON in Habersham County; BARTLET, ELIJAH and WILLIAM WHORTON in
Walton County; JEREMIAH, THOMAS, THOMAS, Sr. and WILLIAM HORTON in Washington County;
ELISHA HORTON in Jasper Co., JAMES and JOSIAH in Jones Co. and in Hancock Co. JAMES (2),
LOTT, NANCY, ROBERT, SAMUEL and SARAH HORTON; and a WILLIAM HORTON.
An ISAAC HORTON reached Henrico Co., VA by 1636-1639 (George Cabell Greer, Early Virginia
Emigrants, pg. 167); and the family was in Chowan Precinct as early as 1714. There appear
to have been two HORTON families in the Jackson-Gwinnett Counties area, perhaps fairly
closely related. HUGH and STEPHEN HORTON each were taxed in 1785 in Wilkes County, GA.,
on 287.5 acres of land in Washington County. (Grace Gillam Davidson, Early Records of
Georgia, v. 2, pp. 48-49).
PROSSOR HORTON witnessed a deed in 1787 in Wilkes County, THOMAS HORTON received a warrant
for land in that year, WILLIAM HORTON appears in the Wilkes records in 1790, and JAMES in
1805 and 1807 lotteries. In 1793, PROSER was taxed on Oconee River land in Medlock's Wilkes
County district. (Ruth Blair, Some Early Tax Digests, p. 277). By October 10, 1799, PROSSER
was of Jackson Co., when he sold to ANN HORTON, also of Jackson, land granted to Thomas
CARSON and purchased by HORTON from Joseph SCOTT. JOHN HORTON was a witness. (Quarterly,
Mar. 1925, p. 10). STEPHEN HORTON was in the 1805 Jackson lottery, as were BENJAMIN
(listed twice, widow ANNE, PROSSER, JAMES, JEREMIAH and SHERWOOD WHORTON. JAMES obtained
headright land in 1810.
Others of the HORTON family previously were in South Carolina, these among others being
numerated in 1790: HENRY HORTON, BENJAMIN WHORTON and ISAAC WHORTON (near Samuel HUSTEN)
in Pendleton District; WILLIAM WHORTON in Greenville Dist., BARTLEY and JOHN WHORTON in
Union Dist.; and Capt. SAMUEL WHORTON in Laurens Dist. In 1800, WILLIAM and EDWARD WHORTON
and JOHN HORTON were enumerated in Greenville; and in Pendleton were BENJAMIN WHORTON,
aged 25-45, with 5 slaves; ISAAC HORTON, aged 26-45, next to Samuel HOUSTON; and JOHN
HORTON, aged 26-45. (Stewart, 1800 Pendleton, SC. pp. 71, 115, 116.
From Jan ? to Mar. 5, 1814, Capt. JOSEPH WHORTON served at Ft. Daniel, and then in Jackson
County now in Gwinnett County, and in his militia company were private SHERWOOD HORTON and
Horseman ABRAHAM WHORTON. STEPHEN HORTON was enumerated in Gwinnett County in 1820 and
there in 1827 JOHN and THOMAS WHORTON lived in Fincher's Dist. ISAAC HORTON, a
Revolutionary soldier, lived in Gwinnett in 1832 and drew Cherokee Co. land granted May
24, 1837. He was shown in the 1840 census, aged 81. (The Revolutionary pension
applications for this family have not been consulted by the compiler. The list includes an
ISAAC, NC service, S16419).
Another Revolutionary veteran, BENJAMIN WHORTON of Hall Co., drew land in 1827, which
reverted. FLETCHER and JAMES HORTON were in Jackson in 1827, in Story and Venable
districts, respectively. JOSHUA was in Franklin Co., and a number of the family in
Washington Co, FREDERICK G., GEORGE, JAMES, LABAN, WILLIAM and the widow MATILDA. JOHN
HORTON bought land in the Walnut Fork area of Jackson Mar. 30, 1838, from Reuben STEWART.
CAROLINE HORTON married George WOOD in Jackson, Dec. 17, 1845. In Jasper Co., GA., ELISHA
HORTON (with wife ELIZABETH) in the 1850 census gave his age as 69, born in GA, which
places his family in the state as early as 1781 if he were correct.
ABRAHAM WHORTON (also sp. HORTON) was one of the first justices appointed in St. Clair Co.,
AL. Nov. 20, 1818. WILLIAM WHORTON was administrator of the estate of William PENIX Nov.
12, 1819 (Mrs. C. P. McGuire, Records of St. Clair County, pg. 121. In 1820, the St. Clair
census, pg. 9, showed ABRAHAM and WILLIAM WHORTON, the latter next to Sallie PEANIX; and
also, p. 16, ELISHA HORTON. The PENIX family is said to have come from Caswell Co., NC,
where the HORTON'S also were seated in the eighteenth century. WILLIAM WHORTON died in St.
Clair between 1846 and 1855 (Deed Book C, p. 198). The WHORTON family intermarried in St.
Clair with the James Danley JONES family from Abbeville District, SC. HENRY C. HORTON
(with wife SARAH TABITHA DOUGLAS) a resident of Shelby County, AL., as early as 1819.

ISAAC WHORTEN (WHORTON) BORN 1801 PENDLETON DISTRICT SC.
ISAAC WHORTON born in 1801 dying 1867 married first wife IRVILLE MARKER in 1823. Children:
JOHN CICERO WHORTON born 1824 GA dying Arkadelphia, AL; AUGUSTUS ULYSSES REEVES WHORTON
born 1827 GA; ISAAC M. WHORTON born 1829 GA; WILLIAM WILSON WHORTON born 1832
GA dying 1884 AL; ERVILLE WHORTON born 1836 GA. The below 1830 Hall Co. GA census
indicates one male child five to ten accounted for by JOHN CICERO WHORTON born
1824. AUGUSTUS ULYSSES REEVES WHORTON born 1827 and ISAAC M. WHORTON born
1829 account for two of the three male children under five leaving one male child under
five unaccounted. Thus with the below documentation that JOHN M. C. (Mac) HORTON (WHORTON)
(WHARTON) and his younger brother WILLIAM WHORTON purchased 35.62 acres on 1 November 1855
of the Public Lands in Section 34, Township 9, Range 2E where ISAAC WHORTON (WHORTEN)
(WHARTON) had previously purchased 71.22 acres of the Public Lands for Section 34,
Township 9, Range 2E is evidence that JOHN M. C. (Mac) HORTON (WHORTON) (WHARTON) is the
unaccounted for male child under five years of age in the 1830 Hall Co. GA census.
ISAAC WHORTON married second wife REBECCA M. JULIAN in 1838. Children: RICHARD HENRY LEE

JOHN M. C. (MAC) HORTON BORN IN GEORGIA, 1827.
The above census record and the following land records for Blount Co. and Marshall Co.
Alabama indicate that ISAAC WHORTON born in 1801 Pendleton District South Carolina was
the father of JOHN M. C. (MAC) HORTON (WHORTON) (WHARTON) born in Georgia, 1827. Blount
Co. AL land records for 1 November 1855 show that JOHN M. C. (Mac) HORTON (WHORTON)
(WHARTON) and WILLIAM WHORTON purchased public lands in the same location as ISAAC WHORTON
(WHORTEN) (WHARTON). JOHN M. C. (Mac) HORTON (WHORTON) (WHARTON) and WILLIAM WHORTON
purchased 35.62 acres on 1 November 1855 of "the Public Lands for the South East quarter of
the North East quarter of Section thirty-four in Township nine of Range two East in the
District of Lands subject to sale at Huntsville, Alabama containing thirty-five acres and
sixty-two hundreds of an acre," whereas, ISAAC WHORTON (WHORTEN) (WHARTON) purchased 71.22
acres on 15 June 1854 of "the Public Lands for the East half of the South East quarter of
Section thirty-four in Township nine of Range two East in the District of Lands subject to
sale at Huntsville, Alabama containing seventy-one acres and twenty-two hundreds of an
acre."
JOHN M. C. (Mac) HORTON (WHORTON) (WHARTON) is listed as twenty-three
years of age with his wife, MARTHA ELIZABETH ASHMORE, and one year old son
in Benton (Calhoun) Co. Alabama, 1850 making his birth year 1827. ISAAC WHORTON
(WHORTEN) is listed at forty-nine years of age in the Marshall Co. AL census
making his birth year 1801. The dates of birth for both men match placing
ISAAC WHORTON (WHORTEN) at twenty-six years of age in Georgia at the time of JOHN M. C.
(Mac) HORTON (WHORTON) (WHARTON'S) birth. Consequently, the 1830 census places
ISAAC WHORTON (WHORTEN) in Hall Co. GA with three male children under five, one male child
five to ten, and lists ISAAC between twenty and thirty years of age. One female is listed
as twenty to thirty, and one female is thirty to forty years of age. DAVID N. HORTON,
the grandson of JOHN M. C. (MAC) HORTON, states in LOGAN COUNTY ARKANSAS: ITS HISTORY AND
PEOPLE that his grandfather was reared in Alabama. The marriage records for the parents of
MARTHA ELIZABETH ASHMORE and that of WILLIAM and DOLLEY (SANSOM) WHORTON, listed below,
prove without a doubt that both of these families were in the Hall and Jasper Co. Georgia
area before moving into Alabama as Indian land became available.

BLOUNT CO. AL ARCHIVES BIOGRAPHIES - WHORTON, A. U. R. 1826 - AFTER 1893.
Author: Brant & Fuller (1893)
A. U. R. WHORTON, one of the most prominent farmers of Blount county, was born in
Georgia in 1826, son of ISAAC and IROIL (BAKER) WHORTON, both natives of South Carolina,
who located first in Georgia at an early day and remained until 1840, when the family
came to Alabama and purchased a partially improved farm in Blount county. Mr. WHORTON
removed to Walker county, however, after a few years, where he remained till 1867, when he
returned to Georgia where he remained till his death. He represented Forsythe county
Georgia in the legislature before coming to Alabama, and represented Blount
county in the legislature before the war. He was also the first sheriff of Forsythe
county, Georgia, under the new constitution. He and wife were members of
the Baptist church. He was a son of BENJAMIN and OLLA (GREEN) WHORTON,
both natives of South Carolina. The maternal grandfather of Mr. WHORTON was
a soldier in the Revolutionary war and served seven years. He and wife were both
members of the Baptist church. A. U. R. WHORTON was reared mostly in Alabama, and
attended school in the old pioneer log house with its puncheon floor and stick and dirt
chimney. In 1848 he married SARAH ALEXANDER, daughter of NOAH and ELIZA (GANDY) ALEXANDER,
both natives of South Carolina. NOAH ALEXANDER came to Alabama with his parents in 1812
and settled in Morgan county. He was a son of DAVID and EUNICE (HILL) ALEXANDER. ELIZA
GANDY was a daughter of EDWARD and MARY (THURMAN) GANDY, both also natives of
South Carolina. Grandfather GANDY was a soldier in the war of 1812, came
to Alabama in 1821 and settled in Morgan county at GANDY'S Cove, which takes its name
from him. After marriage, Mr. WHORTON settled first in Marshall county, Ala.,
where he remained till 1854, when he went to Texas and remained one year,
and then returned to Alabama, settled in Blount county and has since remained. To
the union of Mr. and Mrs. WHORTON, eight children have been born,
of whom six are still living: ISAAC, ELIZA, AUGUSTA, JOHN P., CLAUDIE
and ORA. The mother was born in 1830, in Blount county, and is a member of the
Presbyterian church. In 1861 Mr. WHORTON enlisted in company F, Col. STARN'S
battalion of cavalry, under Capt. JOHN McKASKILL. He served till the close of the war
and was under Gen. FORREST and Gen. JOE WHEELER. He served as became a
good and brave soldier and at the close of the war was orderly sergeant. He
began in life with but little, but has done well and now owns 200 acres where he lives
and 200 acres, two and a half miles down the valley. In 1865 he engaged in
merchandising at Summit and conducted a large and lucrative business at that point, but
since 1885 he has turned the business over to his sons, although he is still sole owner.
He is one of the leading citizens of the county and a man that is known far and wide as
being an honest and upright man, and a man that has built up his trade by honest and fair
dealings. He is a Free Mason, has always been an ardent democrat, and at the last election
voted against his own brother for senator, because he was running on the opposition
ticket.
BARTLEY, JOHN WHORTON, NIMROD HORTON of 1840 & 1850 Benton (Calhoun) Co. AL and JOHN H.
HORTON of 1840 Benton (Calhoun) Co. AL are also undoubtedly part of this line of WHORTON
(WHARTON). Benton (Calhoun) Co. AL is next to St. Clair Co. AL where ABRAHAM, WILLIAM
WHORTON, and ELISHA HORTON lived in the early 1800's.

WILLIAM ASHMORE, JOHN W. HORTON CIVIL WAR AFFIDAVIT.
United States of America,
State of Arkansas,
County of Logan,
Southern Judicial District.
I, J. W. HORTON, do solemnly swear that the testimony I am about to give concerning Elisha
REYMOLDS shall be the truth, the whole and nothing but the truth, so help me God. I, JOHN
W. HORTON, am acquainted with Elisha REYNOLDS and am not related to him and also was with
his father Ned REYNOLDS and his mother, Mrs. Rend REYNOLDS. I first got acquainted with
him about the year 1860 and lived neighbor to him and family when the war began and before
and during the war and have seen him off and on ever since. I was to young for military
service during the Civil War but I had relatives on all sides who were in the army. I had
an uncle, Captain William ASHMORE who was in the Confederate Army, he together with my
father and several others was killed by the Federals in a mile or two of what is now the
town of Sugar Grove in this County. Those who were with Captain ASHMORE and were killed
were my father, JOHN HORTON, Allen SILVERS, Henry HARRISON and they captured three
prisoners at the time they killed these and afterwards killed one named ELKINS and ROGERS
and turned one, SOL MOBLEY, loose.
Elisha REYNOLDS was a member of Captain ASHMORE'S organization and after he was killed
REYNOLDS joined some other command. I do not remember what command it was and served the
rest of the war. A boy, son of SILVERS, who was killed with ASHMORE myself and a lot of
neighbor women buried all of them that were killed at a grave yard near Sugar Grove where
their remains are still. At that time the women and the boys had to do all the burying in
the country. This man REYNOLDS, of whom I am testifying, disappeared from my view
about the last of the war and the next I saw of him was directly after the war. I stayed
all night with him in Texas and have seen him off and on ever since. He had three sisters
and a brother, John. I have also known John LADD before and since the Civil War. He lived
in the same neighborhood with the rest of us. He belonged in a cavalry command at the time
ASHMORE was killed but don't think it was ASHMORE'S. My father served part of the time
with John LADD. Elisha REYNOLDS now lives near Ardmore, Oklahoma. Further Deponent sayeth
not.
