Hello.
After reading Pioneer Families of Sumter County, Alabama by Nelle Morris Jenkins, v.1, I noticed the sources for the information under Horn Cemetery were Horn, Sims and Thomas Bible records from Mr. Sammie Webb and Sumter County Court records. I haven't had any luck trying to find him online but it was 1961 when the book came out so he most likely is still not alive. I would like to obtain copies of the records. I did not see that they were included in the Jenkins collection at the Julia Tutwiler Library.
I am trying to find proof that my gggggrandmother Rebecca S. Bullock Thomas Trimble who married Archelaus Thomas in 1850 in Sumter County was the daughter of Benjamin Franklin Bullock and his first wife who I don't have the name of. In Rebecca's Bible were obits for Eliza Horn Bullock Sledge who was Benjamin Franklin Bullock's second wife and mother to Josephine Bullock, Napoleon Bullock and Charles H. Bullock. She married second Albert G. Sledge and this family can be found living in Sumter County on the 1850 census. Albert's first wife was Eliza's cousin Eliza Farmer who was deceased before 1846 according to her mother Millicent Farmer's will.
Here is what is in Pioneer Families of Sumter County regarding the Horn family there.
Horn Cemetery
This cemetery is near Horn's Bridge on the Sucarnoochee River. The road has been abandoned and the bridge has fallen in - it was built by James horn (Acts 1835, page 102; Virginia Foscue, Place Names Sumter County - a thesis of U. of A. - page 35) This cemetery could never be found without a guide; it was by the kindness of Mr. Jake W. Dial that we were able to finally, after much search, to find it deep in the woods. There are several sunken unmarked graves; cows have knocked over stones over and they became covered with teh loam of the forest.
