    • It appears in 1880 census that Eliza Davis Startin Horton's oldest daughter (Emma Startin, 1852-1920) has married her stepfather, George Horton. The census states that she is married with his wife's name being Emma Horton, age 28 (birth abt 1852). Mother Eliza is not listed in the census but children George E., Emma S. and Rosa L. are. Additional children in the census are Giles F., Ella A., Henrietta and Ruby. Per the death certificate of Giles F. Horton, his mother is listed as Emma Horton. It is presumed that Emma Horton, age 18 in the 1870 census, is now Emma Horton, age 28; now wife of George Horton.
