Elijah James Horn, Sr.

Raiter states: James was referred to as "my son" in a deed of gift of land from William Jr on 29 June, 1757. Elijah and Charles Horn were witnesses: he sold this land on 22 Nov 1760: there is no other land purchase record; a James Horn d in 1783: his will named his wife, Elizabeth, as executor: revision to his children who were not named: no other record.

[*An abstract of the this deed (Edgecombe, 29 June 1757) which I have located differs slightly from the description of Raiter: Acc. to Stehen E. Bradley, Edgecombe Deeds, v 1, 1759-1768, the following is recorded: "64(100) William x Horn of Edgecomb County to his son James Horn. 29 June 1757. Deed of gift. 200 acres on the south side of Tar River. Wit: Jesse Green, William Gay, Elijah x Horn, Jun Ct 1760. Jms Hall CC." Comparison with the original is indicated.]

The following abstract of Edgecomb County Deeds shows a James Horn witnessing a property sale by William Horn. In this document James and John are thought likely to be the sons of William Jr. " 483(116) WILLIAM HORN of Edge Co to JOHN CAIN of Edge Co 7 Feb 1749/50 35 pounds current money of Va 160 acres more or less on the south side of Conneho creek, joining BUXTON and the NS creek. Wit: MOSES HORN, THOMAS GARITT his mark, JAMES HORN, JOHN HORN I II his mark. Reg Edge Co May Ct 1750 B WYNNS CC. "

Is this the James Horn with the Edgecomb will of Aug 27, 1783, Wife & adm: Elizabeth, children not named. Published in Edgecomb Will Abstracts.?
