    Notes:

    Julius was the son of Samuel and Jane (Swart) Horton and the husband of Susannah Purnell whom he married about 1799 at Halifax Co., N.C. After living in N.C. for forty years Julius gathered his family and moved westward. He gave his father-in-law, John Purnell, power-of-attorney for his land and property before he left N.C. Stories are that he left N.C. because he had killed someone, however, the circumstances are unknown. By 1818 he had settled in Washington Parish, Louisiana, where he "died of a fever", leaving his wife, Susannah, and their several younger children. Julius' oldest daughter, Nancy, and her husband, James W. Bulloch (an experienced soldier and frontiersman) were with the Horton family. The decision was made that the family would continue west to Texas where the Mexican government was granting new land to immigrants. (Julius' burial site in Washington Parish is unknown).

    Notes:

    Alexander Horton, early settler, local official, and aide-de-camp to Sam Houston during the Texas Revolution, the son of Julius and Susan (Purnell) Horton, was born on April 18, 1810, in Halifax County, North Carolina. In 1823 he moved, with his widowed mother and other members of her family, to Texas. With his brother, Sam W., and his brother-in-law James Whitis Bulloch, Horton crossed the Sabine River into Texas on January 1, 1824. The three built a cabin on the Attoyac River, where Horton, aged thirteen, was left in charge, while the other two returned to Louisiana for the remainder of the family. In 1827 Horton participated in putting down the Fredonian Rebellion, and on August 2, 1832, under Bulloch, he fought in the battle of Nacogdoches against José de las Piedras. From 1831 to 1833 he served as sheriff of Ayish Bayou and in 1835 represented Ayish Bayou (or San Augustine) in the Consultation. When Sam Houston was appointed commander-in-chief of the Texas army in 1836, Horton was named his aide-de-camp and fought as such in the battle of San Jacinto. He was chairman of the board of land commissioners in 1838 and collector of customs of San Augustine in 1838-39. Horton was again sheriff of San Augustine in 1844 and played an active part in arresting the leaders of the Regulator-Moderator War. After 1844 he was mayor of San Augustine for several years. His last public office was as representative of San Augustine and Sabine counties in the Fifteenth Legislature.

    Alexander was known to friends and family as "Sandy". He married Elizabeth Cooper at San Augustine on 23 Jan 1837 and their children were Sam H., Eliza and Mary Jane Horton. After Elizabeth's death he married Mary Elizabeth Harrell at San Augustine on 30 Dec 1847 and their children were Wade W., Elizabeth J., Susan P., Lavena C., Emily L., Alexandra E. and Mary Z. Horton. Alexander Horton had three brothers: Sam W., William Wade and Henry Purnell Horton, and four sisters: Nancy (mrd Jas W. Bulloch), Elizabeth (mrd Mr. Holland), Martha (mrd Ruben D. Wood), and Susan (mrd Sam W. Rainer).

    In 1849 when Alexander's brother Wm Wade Horton died, Alexander buried him on his San Augustine County farm (about 1.5 miles north of the city of San Augustine) and thereby began what is known today as the "Alexander Horton Cemetery". Alexander Horton died on January 11, 1894, and was also buried in the Horton family Cemetery on his farm just north of San Augustine. Today a Texas Historical Marker (TX7618) designates this as a historical cemetery.

  4. 19.  William Wade Horton Descendancy chart to this point (10.Julius3, 2.Samuel2, 1.Joseph1) was born in 1814 in North Carolina; died on 9 Dec 1849 in San Augustine Co, Texas; was buried in Alexander Horton Cem, San Augustine Co, Texas.

    Notes:

    Wm Wade Horton was the son of Julius and Susanah (Purnell) Horton and the husband of Amanda Teal. His grave was reportedly among the first graves in this cemetery. The land for the cemetery was provided by his brother, Col. Alexander Horton (aide-de-camp to General Sam Houston) for whom the Horton Cemetery is named. Wm Wade Horton was a Texas Ranger. Although it is generally noted that William Wade Horton was married to (1)Amanda Teal and (2)Mary C. McDaniel, and that he had two daughters, Leanna and Susan by Amanda and a daughter Wadeanna by Mary, there is still some disagreement among genealoges in this area.
    It is said that he married Mary McDaniel March 1, 1848 at Nacogdoches County and that his daughter Wadeanna was born January 1849. The memoirs of S.H. Horton, nephew of Wm W. Horton provide the following insights: "Wm Wade Horton was eight years old when his widowed mother moved to Texas in 1824. He was a man of fine personal appearance,
    sandy hair, deep blue eyes, and a thorough sport. He was a man of most violent temper when aroused, which led him into many shooting scrapes of a more or less serious nature. He died in 1849 from a wound in his
    thigh caused by the accidental discharge of a pistol he was carrying in his coat pocket. After mortification set up, he was told by the doctors that the only possible way to save his life was to amputate his leg. Regardless of the entreaties of wife and mother, he refused to have it done. He left a widow and three little girl children, two, Leanna and Susan P. by his first wife, whose maiden name was Amanda Teal, and one Wadeanna, by his last wife, whose maiden name was Mary McDaniel. After his death my grandmother and the two older girls went to my father's to live and the widow to her father's, Capt. McDaniel's."

    [Note: It is said that his daughter Wadeanna (Findagrave memorial #75604440) married Zachary T. Cockburn].
    [Note: Col. Alex Horton named his son, Wade William, born 1849, in honor of his brother, Wm Wade Horton].
