    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Occupation: Betw 1840 and 1880; Farmer (on 1840-1880 census records)
    • Residence: 1840, Bedford County, Tennessee, USA; Azwell Horton, 20-29, w/ a female (presumably Sarah; 20-29) & 2 sons (presumably Dennis and Advil) under 5, plus a female between 80 and 89. Matches the "Azre" Horton in the 1850 Census, but doesn't have enough specifics to be definite match.
    • Residence: 1850, Southern Division, Tishomingo County, Mississippi, USA; "A" Horton (age 40), wife Sarah(35), children Dennis(12), Advil(11), John(9), James(3), Elizabeth(6)

    Notes:

    1. His year and location of birth are unknown, and are reported inconsistently in the 5 censuses in which he appears
