| 1 | As told by Lula L. Horton Virgil Horton had a nervous breakdown in the early 1950s. He was institutionalized for a period of time.

| 3 | Robert Horton came to America aboard the Justina in 1769. He was listed as an Emigrant in Bondage in the book of the same name. According to family lore, he got caught stealing green apples. He was sentenced to transportation and placed aboarrd the Justitia. The Justitia was a 260 ton ship that was used to haul tobacco from Virginia to London and it brought prisoners from Europe to America. We say Europe because we do not think he was from London. We think he may have been brought there by some other vessel and then placed aboard the Justitia. He was assigned to bondage under a tanner. We actually believe the Horton family was from Ireland at this time. He joined the VA Militia in 1776, under the command of Captain John Thornton. Robert was in the battles of White Plains, York Island, Brandywine and Germantown. Robert was discharged in February 1778 at Valley Forge. Remembering history, the winter of 1777-1778 was pure hell for the soldiers at Valley Forge. Robert's discharge would coincide with many others serving the same. He filed for his pension on April 10, 1818 while a resident of Culpeper county at age 66 years. In 1837, Jaley filed for his pension from her home in Falls Township of Muskingum County, Ohio. Witnessing her application was a Mary Anderson, her daughter who married an Elsey Anderson. Story from Randy Horton's notes.

Glenn, Private; Valluation of horse, $35.00; Valuation of equipments, $20.00; Remarks lost in battle of Santa Cruz, Mex.,1 horse valued at $35.00 (purchased another horse). Described on pension Application dated 16 January 1893 as being 63 years of age; 6 feet 2 1/2 inches in height; blue eyes; light complexion; light hair.

Claim of widow for service pension dated 22 June 1891 (this is an obvious error and should read 22 June 1901) lists George W. Glenn as 23 years of age on 10 May 1847. States he was born in Washington County, Missouri and resided in Sebastian County Ark. for 2 years after leaving the service. Declaration of Survivor for Pension dated 1 June 1887 states that George W. Glenn is 62 years of age, born 25 Nov 1824 in Washington County, Missouri Honorable Discharge from United States Volunteer Service, dated 14 Oct. 1848, states that George W. Glenn, Private, was born in the State of Tennessee; is 22 years of age; 6 feet 4 inches high; dark complexion, blue eyes, brown hair. (My note: This is the only document that I have found that states he was born in Tennessee; all census records and other official sources put his birth in Washington County, Missouri or just Missouri). Virgil Houghin Cannady wife of John Homer Cannady, who was affectionately known as "Aunt Virge" and who was beloved by allwho knew her, once said that George Glenn's hair was about the same color as Ronald "Ronnie" Glenn (his great grandson. Ronnie's hair is dark red. My grandfather, Isaac Andrew Hembree once told my mother Laurel (his daughter in law) that he had heard his father , Joel T. Hembree, remark that if everyone was as honest as George Glenn that there would be no need for any laws. Written by Max R. Hembree, Springfield, Missouri ************* The picture of George Washington Glenn was contributed by Thurman Glenn. Here is the story of the picture. Max Hembree had this to say about the picture of George Washington Glenn: "This is the only photograph of George Washington Glenn that I know to exist. My mother, Laurel (Glenn) Brown, while on a visit to Dade County, Missouri about 1960, found the picture stored in Uncle John Cannady's barn along with a photograph of Sheridan Glenn, Youngest son of George W. and Mary Lock Glenn. Both pictures were literally encrusted by the nests of "dirt-daubers". Laurel removed the picture of her grandfather from the heavy frame (the glass having evidently been missing for years) and brought it home to California with her. The picture was carefully restored in 1979 and copies made. George had posed with his rifle, but the person restoring the negative could not determi what the object was and made it look like an unstrung bow." Thurman | Glenn, George Washington (I1392)

| 40 | Either this death date is incorrect, or she did not have a daughter, Catherine, who was born in 1822. It would seem that the daughter Catherine was not born in 1822 because Anna Maria would have been 62 years at the time of Catherine's birth. | Spengler, Anna Maria (I489)

She may have lived with some of her other children between 1920 and 1936. Rosella Payton told Patricia Gail Payton Horton in a tape recorded interview and in a letter to Paul Payton states: "her grandmother, Eliza Payton, didn't have a home in later years. Instead, she would visit all her children and stay a few months in each one's home. We girls always hated to see her come because she would have to sleep with us. We were already 3 to a bed - you know, when one turned over, all had to turn". | Miller, Louisa Eliza Martha (I417)

But God saw fit to call her from this world of suffering to be with him and as a new day was dawning, she quietly slipped away to be with Jesus. She professed faith in Christ early in life and was ready to go when her time came. Keep true dear children, you who are true to God, the parting won't be long: And you who are not prepared to meet Mother, prepare now and let it be an unbroken family around the throne. "Funeral services were conducted at Cory Church at two o'clock Friday afternoon by Rev. W. L. Gates and interment was made in Dadeville Cemetery. "Precious mother, you have left us, Oh how hard to give you up, But we know you're safe with Jesus, That He said it was enough. Yes, dear mother, you have left us, Your trials and sorrows are all o'er; Now your tired feet are resting safely on weary hours of waiting, No more tears for you to shed; your body lies in peaceful slumber, There in the city of the dead. We, your children, how we miss you, and will long for mothers voice In the home, around the fireside, where we met and did rejoice. The good advice from you, dear mother, no more will greet our listening ear. And the gentle prayers you offered, how they rang out, sweet and clear. We will try to meet you mother, and will trust in mother's God; We will put our faith in Jesus and take the path our mother trod. Our children too, will meet you mother,You were faithful to each call; Now your life on earth is finished, Like the Christ, you gave your all." | Willett, Mary Ellen (I99)

| 50 | Hans Kasper Spengler ATTR: IMMIGRANT. Casper was a Master and Craftsman of the Linnen Weaver's Guild of Weyler. Guilds at that early period were organizations created for the mutual protection, for the attainment of some Common purpose, or the pursuit of a special object and advancement of interest of the fraternity. They attained their highest prosperity and development in the Teutonic countries. The craft guilds as well as others, appointed a master and subordinate officers, made ordinances, including provisions for religious observance, mutual help and burial, and enforced regulations against fraudulent workmanship. The art of linen weaving, with its inventions, combinations and embellishments, was then classed among the fine arts, and men of birth and education were accustomed to practice it. These guilds became of such importance, that their laws grew to be that of the town, and the heads of which were concerned in its government. Casper Spengler, as head of his guild at Weyler, was therefore, from the very nature his position, and weight, consideration an authority. Artisans were very much desired by William Penn, whose cardinal principle, so strongly emphasized in the settlement of Pennsylvania, was that the learning of a trade was the fittest equipment for colonialization. Casper was buried in the family plot that was about 80 feet square on his plantation one and a half miles east of York adjoining the ("Great Road to Lancaster".) This burial was substantially enclosed, and had a fenced roadway seventeen wide leading to the " Great Road". In it were also interned his wife Judith, his sons Bernhard, Philip, Caspar and other members and descendants of the family, as well as the remains of a few immediate neighbors. Unfortunately the cemetery fell into ruin and slowly was taken over by the surrounding farm fields and today not a vestige of it remains. Immigration: Sept. 18 1727 Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co. Pennsylvania. Note:Hans Kaspar Spengler, set sail from Rotterdam, Holland in the summer of 1727 and arrived in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania on Sept. 18 1727 on the Ship William and Sarah Captained by William Hill.
