Subject: Niagara-area Hortons circa 1800

In case anyone has ideas or suggestions on how to follow the Niagara-area David Horton lead (RootsWeb posts below.) Thanks!

My data (oral history collected in the 1920s-1950s) says that John B. Horton
was born May 2, 1803 ... that he was a Canadian .... that the family was
perhaps originally from Ireland.

He reportedly moved to Indiana from the Niagara area when he was about 25.
He raised a family with Emily Hennegan in Indiana and died in 1847.

He had family (siblings I guess) that "stayed East." Perhaps a brother
David. So there were other Hortons did not go to Indiana with him.

So, I am searching for a Canadian Horton family that had a son John born
about 1803... with possibly another son David amongst the group. Not sure
how long these Hortons would have been in Canada.. maybe not long.

I am seeking a family of Hortons with an Ireland/Canada link, with a son
John born early 1800s... I have also found mention of a Hahn Horton.

I have found online traces of a David Horton in Pellham, and a Samuel Horton
in Elgin, and would like to network with other Horton researchers who have
found ties to the Niagara area.

I have found these posts on-line, but have not been able to connect with the posting parties:
