The names of his children are not given. He served under Col. Thomas Eaton and was transferred from the Invalid Pension Roll of North Carolina, to the East Tennessee Roll. The dates of his enlistment and discharge, length of service, war in which he served and the nature of his disability are not matters of record, because the pension papers filed prior to 1814 were destroyed when the British burned Washington in 1814. Howell Horton died May 24, 1832. Additional Comments: From: SOME TENNESSEE HEROES OF THE REVOLUTION Compiled From Pension Statements PAMPHLET NO.
