HORTON HISTORY, The Family of Kerenhappuch Horton, wife of John Bolt II
From Bolt American by Nina Leona Bolt Martin
Call No. 929.273/B639m
JACOB HORTON, born September 8th, 1780, on the farm on the waters of the Pinch Gut in Stokes County, near Westfield, Surry County, North Carolina, where James Horton had his blacksmith shop.
When Thomas Beals organized an emigrant party in the spring of 1781 to build a settlement on the Bluestone River in the present Giles County, Virginia, James and Margaret with, their two children, Rachel and Jacob, went with the group of some twenty or thirty families. The settlement did not prosper and in the main part soon broke up though James Horton and his family stayed with Thomas Beals and his family and with others.
That first winter, in late February of 1782, James Horton with six of the men settlers went on a hunting trip some distance from the Bluestone settlement toward Ohio. Shooting was good and they killed a large quantity of bear, deer, and other game. This was accomplished afoot, so they cached the game and werily went for their horses.
During their absence from the game, Indians discovered the cache. After some deliberation, they left it as it was and being hostile they set up an ambush awaiting the return of the settlers. As the seven men came within range, five of them were shot dead. James Horton and John Branson temporarily escaped by running. James Horton, though but twenty- six years of age, suffered from rheumatism and did not go far until he hid in some thick underbrush. As Branson came by James raised his gun to shoot an old Indian Chief following Branson. At the same time James called to Branson: “You are not going to leave me are you?" Branson answered “No" and stopped. But the gun of James missed fire and the old chief took them both prisoners.
After joining the Indian group, James and Branson were not allowed to see each other. James was taken immediately to old Chillicothe in the Northwestern Territory and to an Indian camp on Paint Creek, near the present Frankfort, Ohio. After undergoing all the torments peculiar to savage ingenuity, James Horton was finally burned at the stake.
Margaret Beals Horton with her two children returned from Bluestone to Westfield, North Carolina, and that following November 13th, 1782, gave birth to the third child and named him James in honor of his deceased father. With a hundred acres of land on the Pinch Gut Creek and with the blacksmith shop left by James, she eked out a living for her family. She continued running the blacksmith shop. Her son, Jacob, at an early age, learned of the responsibilities of mankind and the necessity for work and thrift in survival. It was a caring family, all sharing in the necessary effort.
