In Reply to: ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS OF JOHN M. C. (MAC) HORTON (WHORTON) GEORGIA, 1827. by Glenn Nolen of 394

Or was WILLIAM WHORTON who died in St. Clair Co. AL between 1846 and 1855 (Deed Book C, p. 198) the father of JOHN M. C. (MAC) HORTON?


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
WHORTON born 1839 AL dying 1914 AL; THOMAS B. WHORTON born 1842 AL; SAMUEL WHORTON born
1844 AL; ELIZABETH WHORTON born 1846 AL; JOSEPH WHORTON born 1847 AL; MARY I. WHORTON born
1848 AL; BENJAMIN WHORTON, (2,) born 1850 AL; PERMELIA WHORTON born 1852 AL; GEORGE H.
WHORTON born 1854 AL; REBECCA WHORTON born 1858 AL; and SARAH A. WHORTON born 1860 AL.

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.
