Circa 1740-1760---------------------------------------------------

Aaron Horn I, who is believed by some to be the son of Matthias Horn and grandson of Johann Krofft Horn is born, but this connection is unproven. Aaron grows up, marries and moves to an area near Baltimore, Maryland where several of his children are born.

circa 1755-----------------------------------------------------

Joseph Proctor is born in Rowan Co NC Joseph is destined to become the best known mem­ber of the Horn family through his exploits as an Indian fighter and his role in estab­lishing the Methodist Church in Eastern Kentucky. The town of Proctor in Lee County was named for him.

-- 1763---BOSTON TEA PARTY----------------------------------

Although not directly involved in the disturbance at Boston, the future of the Horn family would soon be forever altered by the consequences of that action.

---- 1765 ----------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday, July 16. William Horn I is born to Aaron Horn I and Elizabeth (?) Horn in Kent Co MD. William was the forefather of most of the Horn families that still reside in Estill County, Kentucky. He was also in Fort Boonesborough during the siege.

--------1774 ---FORT BOONESBOROUGH ESTABLISHED---------------

Daniel Boone and others construct a fort on the Kentucky river in the heart of Blue Grass country.

 

Horns move to the area that became Washington County, VA and settle near the Holston River where Polly meets and marries Joseph Proctor. Washington County was the jumping off point for hunters, explorers and settlers traveling the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap to points west. The Horns probably lived in the area for about two years before heading to Kentucky.

Susannah(?)future wife of William Horn I is born

------ 1776---DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE------------------

The Colonist sign the Declaration of Independence breaking their ties to Great Briton and a war between the colonist and their mother country begins.

----- 1778 ---SIEGE AT BOONESBOROUGH--------------------------

Daniel Boone and two dozen men are captured by the Indians, leaving Fort Boonesborough without an adequate force to defend against Indian attacks. In response, Patrick Henry, Governor of Virginia, forms a military unit from the men of Washington County and dis­patches the troops to Boonesborough The Horns volunteer and the entire family accompa­nies the unit to Kentucky.

April--Horns arrive at Fort Boonesborough to help defend the Fort against British and Indian attacks and find the inhabitants in bad shape without adequate food and other necessities.

Horn soldiers make several trips into Indian territory north of the Ohio River in a vain attempt to free Daniel Boone. Boone eventually eludes his captors and makes a harrowing escape back to the Fort in time to warn the occupants of an impending attack from the British led Indians.

September--Horns are in the Fort during the historic nine day siege where the Indians and settlers alternated between fighting and pow-wowing. At one point the Indians re­quested that the women in the fort be paraded before the gate so that they could get their first glimpse of white women. The Fort's defenders complied with their request to buy time and the women strutted their stuff before the assembled Indians. It is not known for certain what effect this display had on the Indians but they soon gave up the struggle and returned to Ohio.

Thursday, Oct. 1. Aaron Horn I dies within a few days of the end of the siege. Ac­cording to one family legend he was mortally injured while cutting cane poles. Since he died within a few days of the end of the fighting at Boonesborough it is entirely possible,as many believe, that he was wounded during the battle and died as a result. He was probably buried within sight of the original fort that was washed away during a flood in the Kentucky River many years ago.

Matthias Horn II marries Susannah Hall in Boones Station near present day Athens, Ky. This was the first recorded Horn marriage in Kentucky. Their children included: John I, Nancy, Aaron IV, Kissiah Jane, Susannah I, Elijah, Lettie and Mathew.

March 19 Joseph Proctor achieves legendary status due to his heroic actions in the battle at Little Mountain, known as Estill’s Defeat

It was in this battle that Proctor killed the Indian that had just slain James Estill and later saved the life of William Irvine. The following excerpts are taken from eyewitness accounts of the famous battle.

 

Excerpted from the Methodist Magazine article on Joseph Proctor

circa 1890

 

On the 19th of March 1782, Indian rafts, without anyone on them were seen floating down the Kentucky River past Boonesborough. Intelligence of this fact was immediately dispatched to Captain James Estill, at his station fifteen miles from Boonesborough. Estill lost not a moment in collecting a force to go in search of the Indians, not doubting, from his knowledge of their character that they designed an immediate blow at his or some of the neighboring stations. From his own and nearest stations, he raised 25 men. Joseph Proctor was of the number. Whilst Estill and his men were on this expedition, the Indians suddenly appeared around his station at the dawn of day, on the 20th of March, killed and scalped a Miss Gass, and took Monk, a slave of Captain Estill captive. the Indians immediately and hastily retreated, in consequence of a highly exaggerated account that Monk gave them of the strength of the station and the number of fighting men in it. No sooner had the Indians commenced their retreat, than the women in the fort (the men all being absent except one on the sick list)dispatched two boys--the late general Samuel South and Peter Hackett- to take the trail of Estill and his men, give information of what had transpired at the fort. The boys succeeded in come in upon him early on the morning of the 21st, between the mouths of Drowning Creek and Red river. After a short search, Estill’s party struck the trail of the retreating Indians. It was resolved at once to make a pursuit and no time was lost in doing so. On the ever memorable 22nd day of March,1782, in the now county of Montgomery, in the vicinity of Mt. Sterling, Captain Estill’s party came up with the Indians. They proved to be Wyandots and twenty-five in number, exactly that of Captain Estill’s. the ground was highly favorable to the Indian’s mode of warfare; but Estill and his men, without a moments hesitation, boldly and fearlessly commenced an attack upon them, and the latter as boldly and fearlessly (for they were picked warriors) engaged in bloody combat. It, is however, sad to record, that in the very onset of the action Lieutenant Miller of Captain Estill’s party, with six men under his command “ ingloriously fled” from the field, thereby placing in jeopardy the whole of their comrades, and causing the death of many brave soldiers. Hence Estill’s party numbered eighteen and the Wyandots twenty-five. Between these prates at a distance of fifty yards, the battle raged for the space of two hours. Deeds of desperate daring were common. “Every man to his man and every man to his tree”. Captain Estill was now covered with blood from a wound received early in the action; nine of his brave companions lay dead upon the field and four others were so disabled by their wounds as to be unable to continue the fight. Estill’s fighting men were now reduced to four. among this number was Joseph Proctor, the subject of this notice. The brave leader of this Spartan band was now brought into personal contest with with a powerful and active Wyandot warrior. The conflict was for a time fierce and desperate and keenly and anxiously watched by Proctor, with his finger on the trigger of his unerring rifle. Such, however, was the struggle between these fierce and powerful warriors that Proctor could not shoot without greatly endangering the safety of his captain. Estill had had his arm broken in the preceding summer in an engagement with the Indians, and in the conflict with the Wyandot warrior on this occasion that arm gave way, and in an instant his savage foe buried his knife in Captain Estill’s breast; but instantly, the brave proctor sent a ball from his rifle to the Wyandot’s heart. Thus ended the memorable battle. it lacks nothing but the circumstances of numbers to make it the most memorable in ancient or modern times. The loss of the Indians, in killed and wounded, notwithstanding the disparity of numbers after the shameful retreat of Miller, was even greater than that of Captain Estill. There is a tradition derived from the Wyandot town, after the peace that but one of the warriors engaged in this battle ever returned to his nation. It is certain that the chief who led on the Wyandots with so desperation fell, in the action. Throughout the bloody engagement the coolness and bravery of Proctor was unsurpassed. But his conduct after the battle has always with those acquainted with it elicited the warmest commendation. He brought off the field of battle and most of the way to the station, a distance of forty miles, on his back, his badly wounded friend, the late brave Colonel William Irvine, so long and so favorably known in Madison county.

 

 

Excerpts from an article by J Green Trimble

published in the Louisville Post in 1916

 

I had the pleasure as well as the honor, of being personally and intimately acquainted with Mr. Joseph Proctor, having lived in the same town , Irvine and within 100 yards of him for two years, and I met with him almost every day.m He was a large man, six feet high, weighing about 180 pounds. He was a localMethodist preacher, having been ordained by Francis Asbury ( the first Methodist Bishop ever in America, who was born in England August 20, 1745, came to America in 1771, and died at Fredricksberg, Va. on March 31, 1816. My acquaintance with Mr. Proctor was during the last three years of his life. His death occurred on December 2, 1844. I attended his funeral and burial. He was buried with military honors at Irvine. A company of fifty militia fired their guns as his body was lowered into the grave. He was buried in an old, dilapidated and unused cemetery, which has not been used for that purpose since, and there is not now a stone to mark his last resting place. I would suggest that the descendents 0f the man who was carried on the soldiers of Proctor from the battlefield to Madison county, a distance of twenty-five miles, erect a monument to perpetuate his memory. Capt. Estill was honored with a marble monument in Richmond, which cost several thousand dollars. Why not give one to Proctor, who was a very poor man, and had no property whatever?

 

During my residence of two years at Irvine, I had the position of deputy clerk of the Estill Circuit and County courts, at the very large salary of $100 a year and board. Major Robert Clark (nephew of Governor James Clark), whose home was at Winchester) was clerk of both courts, and he being one of the principal pillars of the Methodist Church in that town, Proctor made the office his loafing place. During the summer season and in favorable weather he would spend much of his time in our office, and the people of the town and county would often call to see him and hear him talk and relate the many thrilling scenes through which he had passed with the Indians and the experiences he had had with Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton, Calloway and many other pioneer heroes, which was always entertining to the people and was a favorite subject with him for discussion.

 

My Proctor, on account of his advanced age, impaired health and other infirmities, did not preach any during my acquaintance with him, but he never failed to attend the weekly prayer meetings and Sunday School, and occassionally he would deliver to each of them eloquent exhortations and was able in prayer. I was never acquqainted with a more devoted and consecrated Christian. I am perhaps the only man now living that was personally acquainted with a soldier that participated in that bloody conflict, which occurred 134 years ago.

 

Capt. Estill with his twenty-five men, overtook the Indians with a similar number at Hinkston Creek, a very small stream not more than four or five miles to its head. He found three of the Indians on the west side of the creek engaged in skinning a buffalo, the balance of them having passed over to the opposite side of the creek and were taking their rest. The three Indians on the west side immediately joined their main body on the east side, and the firing then commenced; every man on both sides took a tree for protection, so far as was posasible, with the creek between the conflicting sides. When the fight cintinued for some time without any apparent result, Lieut. Miller, with six soldiers of Estill’s command, withdrew from the company obstensibly for the purpose of of crossing the creek above and getting into the rear of the Indians, but instead they left for parts unknown, and never did return. This reduced Capt. Estill’s fighting strength to eighteen against twenty-five. It is supposed that the Indians must have guessed that there had been a division of Capt. Estill’s forces, on account of the slack firing, and they, therefore, made a charge in a body across the creek, most of them with tomahawks and knives.

 

All the real hard, hand to hand fighting took place on the west bank of the creek, the result of which is so well described by Col. Henry L. Stone in his letter which you published, and which corresponds with the history I have of it from Joseph Proctor. I will, therefore, not allude to it , except to say that Capt. James Estill, who was a very small man came into contact with the largest Indian who belonged to the company, who would weigh over 200 pounds, armed with butcher knives. Mr. Proctor told me that he was standing near by but could give Estill no relief. He witnessed the giving away of his arm, which had been broken a few months previous, which placed completely in the power of the savage, who plunged a large butcher knife into into his left side, penetrating his heart , and Capt. Estill fell dead at the feet of the savage. Witin ten seconds, thereafter the trusty rifle of Joseph Proctor, with its deadly and unerring aim, placed the lifeless body of the big Indian by the side of the dead body of Capt. Estill. Mr. proctor never did admit in my presence that he killed the Indian, but in speakin of the incident would say, “ I never heard of that big Indian killing anybody afterward, nor commiting any depredations”.

 

A few years previous to his death, Mr. Proctor was brought to this county ( Montgomery) and taken over the supposed battle ground to see if he could identify the place where the battle occurred,but he was unable to do so. In 1782, when the battle occurred, the country was a wilderness--nothing but timber and cane; whereas at the time of his visit it was all cleared out and in cultivation and bluegrass.

 

 

Excerpted from an article on Col. William Irvine

Kentucky Pioneers circa 1870

 

Col. William Irvine came to the county with his brother. and built a station called Irvine’s Station, near where Richmond now stands. Col. Irvine was in the hard fought and bloody battle at Little Mountain, known as “Estill’s Defeat” in the year 1782. About the close of action while Joseph Proctor, Irvine, and two others were endeavoring to cover the retreat of the whites, Irvine was severely wounded by a bullet and two buckshot entering his body a little above the left groin. The Indian who shot him saw him fall, and leaving the tree behind which he was sheltered, made a rapid advance with the view of tomahawking and scalping him. Irvine, as he approached, raised and presented his gun which had just been fired, and was then empty, when the savage rapidly retreated to his tree for protection. Proctor who was about fifty yards off, seeing the seeing the disabled condition of Irvine, called to him to mount, if he could, Capt. Estill’s horse ( the owner having been previously killed), and retreat to a given point on the trace, about three miles distant, promising him that he would from that point conduct him to his station in Madison. the assurance was given by Proctor under the condition that, from the severity of Irvine’s wounds, combined with the great loss of blood, he would be unable to proceed further on the retreat than the point designated. Irvine determined to follow the advice of Proctor; but the Indian who had wounded him seemed determined to baffle all his efforts to make his escape. As Irvine attempted to mount, the Indian would abandon his shelter and make towards him with his tomahawk, when the former would raise and present his empty gun, and the latter as quickly retreat to his tree. This was repeated four times in succession. On the fifth trial, Irvine succeeded in mounting the horse, and safely reached the place designated by Proctor. Upon his arrival, he was exceedingly faint from the loss of blood, but had sufficient presence of mind to diverge from the main trace, and shield himself in a thicket nearby. Here he dismounted, and holding onto his horse’s bridle, laid himself against a log to die. In a short time, Proctor and his two companions reached the place of rendezvous, and true to his promise, determined to search for Irvine; the latter objected, under the apprehension that the Indians were in close pursuit. Proctor, however persisted in the search and in a few minutes, discovered through the bushes, the white horse rode by Irvine. He approached cautiously, and with a stealthy step, fearing an Indian ambuscade. Irvine, notwithstanding, caught the sound of his footsteps, and suffered all the horrors of death, under the impression that the footsteps were those of an enemy and not a friend. He was, however, speedily undeceived. Proctor bound up his wounds and relieving his burning thirst by a supply of water from a contigious branch, mounted him on horseback, and placing one of the men behind to hold him, safely conveyed him to Bryant’s Station, where they arrived on the succeeding day. Col. Irvine suffered severely from his wounds, and did not fully recover his health for several years. The bullet and shot were never extracted, and he carried them with him to his grave. He died in 1820, thirty-eight years after receiving his wound.

Joseph Proctor Joins the Metodist church at Estill’s Station

Reverend Proctor is credited with assisting Francis Asbury in establishing the Methodist Episcopal Church in eastern Kentucky. He performed the marriage rites for many of his Horn relations as well as hundreds of other pioneer couples during his long ministry. The following account of his conversion was excerpted from the Methodist magazine article written more than a hundred years ago.

 

“It is his (Joseph Proctor’s) character as a Christian and preacher of the gospel that we are especially attracted. In 1787 when James Haw was preaching in a fort in Madison County, he was awakened and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. If in the defense of his country he was brave, and if, regardless of his own safety, he had fought with distinguished valor against blood thirsty savages, to protect the early settlers in Kentucky, engaging in another warfare, he evinced nobler courage and met with equal success.”

August. 26 Elizabeth Horn files suit in Madison County Court to regain land taken by her son Christopher Horn. Christopher, as the eldest son under the old inheritance laws of primogeniture, was legally entitled to all of his father’s property in the absence of a will. Most of the family sided with Elizabeth in her fight to reclaim land that her son allegedly pressured her into deeding to him. The surviving records of this case provided extensive information about the early history of the Horn family during the early years in Kentucky.

 

Madison County chancery Court Records

Be it remembered heretofore to wit on the 26th day of August 1802, Elizabeth Horn by her attorney, filed in the clerk’s office of the quarter session court for Madison County, her bill in Chancier against Christopher Horn and others, and issued out a subpoena in chancery thereon, which bills are in the following words

and figures to wit: To the Honorable Judges of the court of Quarter Session for Madison County in chancery setting.

Elizabeth Horn, humbly complaining, shews to your Honor that she together with her husband in the year 177_ moved to the county and very shortly after , her husband died and that after the death, she raised in this county a crop of corn in 177_ and by virtue and in according to the act of the General assembly of Virginia, in such case made and provided, she applied to and obtained from the commissioners a certificate of preemption of 400 acres of land in what is now Madison County, an attested copy of which certificate she submits and prays that it may be taken as part of this her bill of complaint: that sometime after she obtained a certificate, she entered into a contract with James Estill to locate and clear out the 400 acres of land for her; that she transferred the right (of land) to him and took his obligation to convey to her 200 acres ( of the 400) when a grant should be obtained from the Commonwealth; that after she had received the obligation from Estill, Christopher Horn, the eldest son of her deceased husband ( and whom she prays may be made a defendant) claimed the land as heir to her husband and threatened to sue her if she did not assign to him the obligation upon Estill; that she being timid and fearful of being harassed with law and being persecuted by Christopher Horn, that his right to the land as heir to her husband was good, she signed the obligation for the 200 acres to C Horn; that he never gave her any consideration for the land whatsoever and has since transferred his right and interest in the land to Jesse Noland, (whom she also wishes to be made a defendant); that James Estill has died and left Benjamin Estill, his eldest son and his heir at law in whose name a grant from the Commonwealth has been issued ( and whom she also wishes to be made a defendant) ; that the defendants are combining and federating to injure and oppress her, particularly Jesse Noland and Christopher Horn has refused to give up to her the obligation (for the land) and cancel the assignment and Jesse Noland has brought suit in chancery to compel a conveyance of the 200 acres against Benjamin Estill, all which actions and doings are contrary to equity and good conscience and tend to manifest injury and oppression against her.

 

For as much as Mrs. Horn is remedy-less in the promises by the strict rules of the common law and can only be relieved in this court whose frauds and mistakes are relieved against and contracts are carried into specific execution. To the end therefore the that the defendants true and distinct and perfect answers make to all and singular the premises and fully and perfectly as if the same were herein again repeated and interrogated and in particular that C Horn set forth and say: Is not the above a true statement and ,if not, what is? (2} Did he not claim the land as heir of law to Mrs. Horn’s husband? (3) Did he not claim the obligation (to the land) by falsely representing his claim as better than hers and threatening to sue her? (4) What did he give her for the bond? That the defendant, Noland may say: Is not above as it respects him a true statement and if not, what is? That your honor will decree that the assignment of Mrs. Horn (to Christopher Horn) be canceled and that Benjamin Estill convey to her the right to the two hundred acres agreeable to the obligation and give other such and further relief as may be agreeable to equity and that the C’wealth writ of warrant be directed. signed: --Hardin and Boyle for Mrs. Horn

 

Copy of Elizabeth Horns certificate for 400 acres referred to in bill:

 

Elizabeth Horn this day claimed a preemption of 400 acres of land at the state price in the district of Kentucky lying on the north side of the Kentucky River above the Coporas Lick including a bottom known by the name of the Coperas Lick Bottom by making a deluxe settlement in 1778. Satisfactory proof being made to the court they are of the opinion that she has a right to preemption of the 400 acres of the land to include the above location and that a certificate issue accordingly.

Depositions: Stephen Hancock, Joseph Proctor, Jesse Hodges, William Horn and Matthias (Matthew) Horn taken at the house of Robert Caldwell in Richmond on the 15th January 1803 on behalf of Elizabeth Horn to be read as evidence in the suit in Chancery in Madison county where Elizabeth is complainant and where Christopher Horn and others are defendants.

Stephan Hancock fully sworn, stated that Aaron Horn, deceased husband of Mrs. Horn and father of Christopher Horn, moved to this country in the Spring of 1778 and died the following fall in the last of September or the first of October at Boonesborough. He (Hancock) lived in the same fort with him from the time he (A Horn) came to this country until he died and does not know of Aaron Horn raising any corn or planting any corn that year and is satisfied that he made no provisions for his family by raising corn. He (Hancock) further states that the next year after her husband died , Mrs. Horn put her sons Matthew ,Aaron and William who were under age, to work with A Mr.Thomas Deal who together raised a crop of corn.

 

Joseph Proctor being sworn that he knew the same as to Aaron Horn coming to this country and death as stated by Stephen Hancock and is convinced that he did not raise any corn in this country as he recollects of his Horns renting some ground but before he planted, he differed from the person he rented of and gave it up.

He further stated that he had frequent conversations with Christopher Horn as to the manner of his getting the land from his mother in which conversation, He(C Horn said that he threatened his mother with a suit if she did not give it up, He claiming it as heir at law to his father until the old woman gave it up to him. He also said after he got it he did not care whether the right of the land came through his father or mother, He would be damned if he did not keep it for he had as good a right to it as anyone. He (Proctor) had frequently heard C Horn threaten to sue his mother if she did not give up the bond and the old woman appeared very uneasy about it, she being not able to read or write in English.

 

Jesse Hodges , being sworn stated that he was acquainted with Aaron Horn Sr., deceased and knows what is stated by Stephen Hancock to be accurate. He also stated that in or about the year 1786, C Horn had a case of this speaker and Mrs. Horn lived in a cabin near C Horn’s and under him and that while they lived there He ( Hodges) wrote the assignment on the bond from Mrs. Horn to C Horn, and He Hodges thinks the assignment was made in consequence of C Horn’s claiming the land as heir to his father and threatened to sue her for it. Question By Mrs. Horn Did you at the time of the writing of the assignment tell me that tell me you thought I was cheated? Answer At the time of the assignment I did not but some years after ward I told you I thought the assignment was fraudulently obtained and you ought to advertise it if you meant to contend for the land. I then at your request wrote about three advertisements(one of which is attached) and gave them to you to set up.

 

Copy of the advertisement

This is to forewarn all persons for trading for a bond given to me by James Estill for two hundred acres of land to be out of some of ye preemption that Estill cleared out of shares and (it is) assigned to Christopher Horn as the assignment was fraudulently obtained and I have forewarned Estill from making ye said Christopher Horn a right. I expect the said Horn to trade the bond off.

Elizabeth (X) Horn

 

William Horn, being sworn, states that he WM. came to this country with his father A Horn, and knows the statement made by Stephen Hancock to be accurate. The next year after his father came here, under the direction of his mother, He and his brothers Matthias and Aaron, all being under age worked with Mr. Thomas deal and raised a crop of corn in partners to help his mother, she having one half and Mr. Deal the other half. He further states that when C Horn came to this country some years later, He claimed the land as heir to his father and threatened to sue her and as she had but one or two cows, It would take them to fee a lawyer and she would lose them and the land too. That he continued his threats for a year or two until the old woman gave up the bond. After He got the bond he said he knew it was his mothers right but he wanted to get the title in his own hands before she knew it; he further said he (Wm.) set up advertisements similar to the one referred to by Jesse Hodges. One as set up at Irvine Lick and the other at Mrs. Woodruff’s. (Question by Jesse Noland) Have you any interest in the event of this cause? (Answer) My mother has said that she will give me part of the land if she gains it, but I never gave her anything for it and having but her word for it,. Christopher Horn also promised me fifty acres of land for taking care of his stock while he went into the old settlement.

 

Matthew Horn, being sworn, says that he agrees in the statement made by Hancock. He frequently heard C Horn before he got the bond threaten to sue his mother. The old woman frequently came to me and cried and told me of his threats and told me if he sued her it would take all she had left (the Indians having taken all of their horses and part of their cattle) and is convinced it was for fear of the trouble and expense of going to law that she gave up the bond. (Question by Noland) Have you any interest the event of this suit? (Answer} I do not expect to gain or lose one copper by it.

 

At a Circuit Court continued and held for the Circuit aforesaid at the Courthouse in Richmond on the 7th June 1803. This day came the parties by their attorneys and the court having considered the bill, depositions and exhibits in the cause, do order and decree that the assignment of the alluded to by Mrs. Horn in her bill from her to Christopher Horn be canceled and said obligation given up and further that the defendant, Benjamin Estill by the first day of September next convey 200 acres of land to Mrs. Elizabeth Horn by proper deed agreeable to the obligation assigned and that she recover of Christopher Horn her costs in this suit expended.
