• Notes

  Who are the parents of the Abigail Horton who married David Booth? Adaline White in The Hortons of America is inconsistent about Abigail Horton, daughter of Caleb Horton. On p. 137, in her discussion of Caleb's descendants, she says that his daughter Abigail married Benjamin Moore. But on p. 2, when discussing the children of Barnabas Horton, she says that Barnabas' daughter Abigail married Charles Booth and their son David Booth married in 1717 Abigail Horton daughter of Caleb I. There are apparently 2 women named Abigail Horton. The daughter of Caleb--Abigail Horton (1676-1746)--clearly married Benjamin Moore. Caleb says so in his will. See the image of her gravestone on Find A Grave. The other Abigail Horton would have been younger if she married in 1717. In addition, recent researchers have concluded that Barnabas Horton did not have a daughter named Abigail born in 1665.
