Notes |
From "Hortons of America":
"Henry Claiborne Horton enlisted in the Confederate Army 1861 in the 'Shelby Greys' of Memphis, Tennessee who gave a good account of themselves during the war. They were in 18 pitched battles and were under fire every day during the advance of Sherman from Chattanooga to Atlanta. At Nashville he was wounded and captured, and suffered imprisonment. After his exchange he engaged in farming and stock raising on his plantation on the Alabama River. He was fond of country life, scrupulously honest in all his dealings, living to a good old age."
