Notes

Note N1896Henry and Ann listed in Quaker Records (Rich Square MM) June 7, 1775 Henry and wife Ann disowned by Quaker Church Sept. 16, 1775 Henry and Ann, regarding their breach of discipline, action deferred Feb. 17, 1776 Henry and wife Ann and children Jacob and Joel Horn Phebe Ricks and Charity Battle disowned Henry was a member of Rich Square monthly meeting of Quakers, Edgecombe Co. Henry Horn was disowned by the Quakers, 16 May, 1767. September 16, 1775 Henry and Ann, regarding their breach of discipline, action deferred. On February 17, 1776 Henry and wife Ann and children Jacob and Joel , Phebe Ricks and Charity Battle were disowned. Removing from Edgecombe County about 1780, the family settled in Wayne County, N.C., where they are listed in the 1790 U. S. Census, and where Henry Horn died in 1798, leaving a will. Henry is listed in DAR Patriot Index--Centennnial Edition as served in Revolutionary War with England, 2 Maj MM PS North Carolina. Of Henry and Ann's thirteen children, at least three, Thomas, Jacob and Jeremiah, migrated to Wayne Co, NC.

The only source for the parentage of this Henry Horn appears to be the name of Henry Horn listed as a son of William Horn in William's Edgecombe Co, NC will. There is a major problem however because another Henry Horn lived in the same area and in the same time period. The other Henry Horn-4768 is also listed as a son of William. In the other Henry Horn's 1761 Edgecombe Co, NC will he names his brother Moses Horn to be one of the executors of his will. Moses Horn is also listed in William Horn's will as a son. Due to my ignorance of copyright laws I am afraid to quote exactly from a book titled "William Horn of Nansemond" by "Robert G Horn, MD" about early Familytree dna results which cast considerable doubts that Henry Horn "the Quaker" was actually a son of William Horn. Page 185 of that book details his concerns.

Falling Creek / Contentnea MM

Bear Creek (opened c. 1784, still active 1789). Probably a continuation of the meeting at Thomas Hollowell's house (CMM 181785). New MH was built 1788 according to Query answers, EQM 8301788. Contentnea (opened 1772, still active 1789). First Day meeting granted by Falling Creek MM 831772 in the house of Arthur Bryant. EQM transferred the MM here, and its first session here was 9121772. Richard Cox's house (opened c. 1770, still active 1789). Also called Upper Falling Creek; central Wayne County. Falling Creek MM moved here 611772 and continued here until its last session on 831772. Falling Creek (c. 1746-1772). Friends in Johnston County began meeting at the house of John Wallis about 1746. The QM granted them a MM on 3281748. This meeting was also called Lower Falling Creek. The MM was moved to Richard Cox's house in 1772. It was laid down by the MM on 831772. Tar River (opened c. 1757, still active 1789). Perquimans MM sent Joseph Newby to visit Friends on Tar River, 661753. It later mentioned that Friends were holding meeting there in the house of Henry Horn (831757). These Friends became part of Perquimans MM on 531758. Tar River Meeting became part of Rich Square MM when it was established in 1760. It reported to RSMM on 961760 that its worship circulated between the houses of Henry Horn and Joseph Pitman. On 11261774, EQM moved the meeting from Henry Horn's house, so by 8191775 the Friends at Tar River had started another meeting at Jure Watkins's house. The MM moved the meeting to Richard Vick's house on 221/1778. On 8/311772, EQM transferred Tar River Meeting to Contentnea QM. When Job Scott visited in 1789, he wrote that it was on Stoney Creek in Nash County. Turner's Swamp (opened c. 1789). Job Scott mentioned this meeting during his visit in 1789.
