NOTES:
(1). If you have any information about Horace, please share and let me know. I'm always looking for any kind of documentation also. Thank you!
(2). The headstone says 1856. The birth month (July) comes from the 1900 USA Census. His death information comes from the headstone. I'm unsure of the date or place? I assume Cannon County, TN, but I have never found anything to prove the death year or place. If you have any information, please let me know. Thanks!!!
