As I compiled this family history, I was reminded of the profound words of my distant cousin Lucy Henderson Horton, author of "Family History", who wrote:

"Hearing the call of posterity demanding of us a right to know something of their origin, and convinced, too, that in duty to those who have gone before, we should bind together the golden links of the past, I have gathered what I could of family history. This means much labor; but if this backward glance should inspire one person to noble endeavor, I am amply repaid. An effort has been made to give authority for every assertion. If error is found, I trust someone with broader and clearer vision than mine will rectify the wrong."
