Biography

A story passed down the Horner line is that Mary (who resided in Pennsylvania) upon learning of the accidental death of her sister Sarah (Love) Sterling, dressed as a man and rode horseback from eastern Pennsylvania to her relative's locale in South Carolina. [1]

"David and Robert Horner came from Antrim County, Ireland to America and settled on land granted to their father by William Penn. The grant of land, 600 acres, was in Mount Joy Township, York (now Adams) County, Pennsylvania. On this land later was Horner's School and Horner's Mill. David married Mary Love and they had seven sons and two daughters...Most of my chart comes from a history of the Horner family written by Captain John Horner, grandson of the original David Horner and Mary Love Horner, when he was 72 years old. David Horner was born in 1739 and died in 1785. Mary, his wife was born in 1744 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Alexander Love and Margaret Moore. Mary Love's parents moved to South Carolina. The above was written by my sister Jeannette Horner Herr in 1979 when she was 70 years old, and is contained in Appendix J, Horner Genealogy of the Robertson Family of Carroll County, Maryland. Note -- Mary Love who married David Horner was the daughter of Alexander Love, 1718 - 1784, and Margaret Moore, 1719 - ____, Alexander Love was born in Lancaster County, PA and eventually moved to South Carolina. He was a member of the Provisional Congress which met at Charleston, SC, December 1, 1785. David Horner and Mary Love had nine children: John, Robert, Alexander Love (1784 - 1839), David, William, Andrew, James, Margaret, Polly" [2]

A story that has come down through the Horner line regarding an incident during the American Revolution:

One of Mary's sisters, Sarah, married a Loyalist, John Sterling, and lived in South Carolina. During the American Revolution, Mary's brother, Col. Andrew Love, became aware of a meeting of Loyalists at Sterling's house. Col. Love took a group of men under his command and surrounded the house. Sarah wanted her husband to escape and to give him that chance, she dressed in his cape and hat to try to divert the soldiers' attention so Sterling could escape through the rear door. Upon Sarah leaving the house by the front door, one of Col Love's men shot her thinking she was Sterling. When Mary heard the shocking news in Pennsylvania, she disguised herself as a man, tucked her hair under a hat, and rode alone by horseback from Pennsylvania to South Carolina.

(Portions of this story on the shooting of Sarah are presented in John Andrew Moore Passmore's _Andrew Moore and His Ancestors and Descendants_ p.64)

HB Harvey
The birthplace of Mary Love Horner is more likely Sadsbury Township, York County, Pennsylvania. Passmore (1897:39-40) writes this about her mother, Margaret Moore Love: "Margaret was disowned from membership in the Society of Friends for outgoing in Marriage. (See Sadsbury M.M.Records) After marriage Alexander settled in York Co., Penna., where he resided for some years. The exact time of his removal from York Co. the author has been unable to ascertain. He was living there in 1760. Hence he removed south between that date and 1771..." If accurate, this would more likely put Mary's birth prior to 1760 in York County, Pennsylvania.

Hey HB- Have y'all been able to reconcile your differences regarding the merge of Love-529?
posted by Allan Harl Thomas (1951-2021)
HB Harvey
Love-820 and Love-529 are not ready to be merged because: Too many discrepancies at this point. Birthplace of Love-529 is shown as Ashe County, NC, but parents had settled in southern PA. Love-820 has son, William, who does not show in Love-529 and Love-529 has "extra" children who do not sow in Love-820. Passmore's "Andrew Moore and His Descendants" book lists the following children: Alexander L, James, Robert, David, Andrew, William, Margaret, John, and Mary. I need to complete Love-820 with that information & then I"d like to compare again at that point.
