Description

This is a collection of deeds and other data regarding the Horne/Horn families of Colonial Virginia & North Carolina.

Currently Working On...

• Examining deeds and land grants from Bertie, Johnston, Edgecombe, Northampton, Wayne, and other surrounding counties. Hoping to, along the way, make progress on separating these two particular early Horne families: that of William Horne of Nansemonde, and Henry "the Quaker" Horne, of Edgecombe Precinct. They are supposedly NOT linked together, even though different branches of our family dealt with both supposed Horne families. Profile mentions that YDNA has misproven link between them. Need to investigate.
• Examining Johnston County, NC Land Grants in attempt to trace back family of Henry Horne of Johnston Co.
• Work with Stallings researchers to find relevant links between the Stallings Family and Hornes.
• the following Timeline...
• Richard, John, James, Michael, and Henry (2of them) listed as kids of William of Nans., but NONE of them in Will. Who are they?
• need to create profiles, and disconnect, wrong
