Notes

Narrative of William H. Horr about his grandparents, parents & sibs. Found in Steuben County Historical Society, Bath, Steuben Co, NY.
"My grandfather, Jonathan Horr of Augusta, Maine, was the oldest member of the family at the old age of 83.
My father was Appleton Horr born about 1798. When my father was about 14 years old, his mother died & later his father remarried. He not being able to live agreeably with his step-mother, left home. His only sister died when he was about 18 or 19 years of age. This left him alone & at the age of 21, he migrated from Maine to Steuben County with a family by the name of Wheeler & came with that family to Tyrone, in Steuben.
Later he worked his way from there to Prattsburgh, NY. He bought land & cleared the timber, & with the help of a friend, Seth Wheeler, built a log house which was known as the Horr Farm on "Bully Hill." He became acquainted with & married Hannah Decker, the daughter of Samuel & Rebecca (Custer) Decker. Her brothers & sisters were: Johnathan, William, Hannah, Katie, Simeon, Jane, James, Ellen, & Darius. The cholera came to this family & the father Samuel, the mother Rebecca, & sons Simeon & Darius died.
My father Appleton Horr & my mother Hannah Decker were married about 1822. I, William H. Horr, was born Mar.10, 1823. Lucy was born Aug.23, 1824. John was born Dec.2, 1826. Samuel was born Dec.10, 1828. Rebecca was born Nov.27, 1829. Betsey was born Dec.8, 1830. Sarah was born June 9, 1832. Rhoda was born in 1833. Mary was born in 1834. Emily was born Apr.15, 1836. Elisha was born Jan.2, 1837 & Lavinia was born Apr. 1844 & died in 1880 at the age of 36."
(The Wheeler family mentioned above was that of Obediah Wheeler who walked from Vermont to Urbana in the early days of the settlement of Steuben Co. The Wheeler families came from Massachusetts prior to the migration to Steuben Co.")
