H/O #2 Mary [Holland].
Child of Wiliam and Mary Horn:
Millicent Mary Horn (w/o James B. Cousins)

William Horn's father was Jacob Horn but his mother seems to be in question. Jacob married two women, Elizabeth (LNU) and Millicent Thomas (married abt. 1781). Records reflect that William was born about 1778/1779 which would make him a son of the first marriage and Elizabeth his mother.

William married Nancy Holland, D/O Henry Holland, on February 26, 1800 in Edgecombe Co., NC. Nancy died on April 8, 1829 in the same county. William then married Nancy's sister, Mary (Holland) Sykes, a widow, between 1829 - 1839. "Kinfolks of Nash County North Carolina 1778-1854" by Joseph W. Watson [Pub: Fisher-Harrison Corp, Durham, NC, 1979, Pg. 232] gives proof of the relationship between William Horn and the Holland family.

William Horn is shown on many family trees with varying birth years. The bible of Rebecca J. (Fitzgerald) Horn, wife of William B. Horn who was the oldest son of Henry H. Horn, shows "Grandfather William Horn born 1779". This same bible shows the death for William Horn as "Grandfather William Horn 1856 age 77". There are many who show his full death date as being "February 6, 1856" in Choctaw Co., AL.

William Horn is shown to be buried in the Horn family's burying ground on his old plantation in Choctaw Co., AL by the Wood/Horn family biography [pg 25-26] written by his grandson, W. D. Wood, in 1904 as follows:

The Horn family burying ground is on grandfather Horn's old plantation, now in Choctaw county. Choctaw being a new county, formed out of the territory of Sumpter and Washington counties. This graveyard is about one quarter of a mile from Grandfather's old residence or from where it stood in his lifetime. In it are buried grandfather Horn and his second wife, Mary Horn, Thomas Horn (Tom Pone so called), Dr. J. B. Cousins and his wife Millicent and their son J. B. Cousins, Jr., Bethelda Horn, Jonas Crowell and his second wife Marcilla, Jonas Wood Crowell, the child of Frank and Lou Crowell, William Henry Holland, Parma Holland, Eliza Hulsey or Halsell, Frank Wood, brother to the writer, John Thomas, husband of Mary Crowell, one stranger, a girl, Campfield and two negroes, Oliver Cousins and Will Horn, the later the father of Uncle Tony,now living who used to belong to Grandfather, and then to Uncle Hardy Horn. Oliver and will were old and trusted servants of the horn family."
