My great grandfather listed himself as being Calvin J. on all public records after he came to Texas in the 1830's. However family members remember him stating his name as William Calvin. He was born about 1815 in NC, but I have not connected him to any of the Horton lines there. I feel he may have dropped the William from his name, but have no proof. Can anyone help me connect to this line? He named his first son Willis, and my grandfather was Samuel Houston. Have looked for this man for years - am no closer now than I was then to finding his NC origins. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Ginny
