Notes
May 2023 - Hi cousins - the two previous parent profiles that I removed were for Jacob Horn (1721-1778) and Dushea Vanetta (Von Reismiller) Horn (1714-1772). Please do not add these as the parents of John, Christopher, or Hardman/Hardtman Horn. There is no genealogical proof that Jacob or Dushea ever existed. See the wikitree page regarding the Horn Papers. Regards, Kenny Marshall.

It appears that John Horn married twice and that some of the children here are from a different wife.
