Dear Fellow Seekers and Family,
Since I posted this query I have learned that Rev. Tillmon Purifoy was the guardian of William DuBignon Horton the son of Joel WIlliam Horton. My old handwritten notes from my grandaddy were somewhat jumbled but a cousin was given this info by his grandmother(my great aunt) and I feel it is more acurate. I still know nothing about Nancy Ann DuBignon and ? Horton or Joel William Horton,their son, except that he was born in June 24,1814 in Maryland and that his mother died shortly thereafter. How he ended up in Edgefield Co.,S.C. is a mystery and also how old he was when his ?Horton father died. Does anyone have any idea where Joel lived until he was able to farm for himself? Any clues will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Carolyn Horton Simpson
