SIGN_DATE: 1858/01/15In 1845, Solomon S. Horton was said to have shot and killed James B. Tutt in Perry County, Alabama. James Tutt had a farm/plantation in Perry Co., AL, but his personal household was in Sumter County.
At the time of the shooting James was married to Lucy Fluker and newspaper reports of the shooting said that the shooter was James' brother-in-law, S.S. Horton who was jailed on $2,000.00 bail.
James B. Tutt was involved in a Public Land Fraud case in Alabama and had tried to swindle his sister and her husband out of their share of another brother's sizeable estate.
Nothing further is known of the outcome of this case.
Solomon S. Horton was in Feliciana Parish, LA with his uncle John Horton and a brother, James Horton. Just how long he was there is unknown.
He was said to be a school teacher and taught school at Centenary College in Jackson, LA. This has not been verified.
Solomon Horton was known to have had one daughter, Chase Horton. She was said to have married a Captain Cook. Nothing else is known of this family.
He was in North Louisiana according to these land records in 1858. He supposedly went to Austin, Texas and eventually died there. There is no further history on Solomon S. Horton at the time of this writing, March, 2002."Solomon Horton was is shown on the 1850 Census of East Feliciana Parish as having two children. William, born 1845, and Ann, born 1847. he is known to have had another daughter, Chase.
RESEARCHER: On 5 Dec 2004 Gary Tutt [Texantwo24@aol.com] wrote: "Regarding, the daughter, Chase, the 1860 census for Victoria County, TX is interesting. Some other Horton researchers seem to believe that Cebelle Fluker
Horton married a William M. Varnell ca. 1857. (They do not seem to know what happened to S. S. Horton, and, in fact, did not have his given name.) That 1860 census indentifies the apparent wife of William Varnell by the initial "C", but it shows her to be age 31 and b. AL. One of the nine persons in the household under age 20 was "Ann Chase Varnell" age 13 and b. LA. The Ann Horton on the 1850 census (East Feliciana Par., LA) in the household of S. S. Horton was age 3 and b. LA. I wonder if Ann Horton of 1850 and Ann Chase Varnell of
1860 are the same person, notwithstanding the surname difference.Finally, the census for 1870 Jackson Co., TX, shows the William M. Varnell family, but there is no female who could be Cebelle. Interestingly, however, there is a David Horton, age 14, b. LA, in the household. Also listed is a 20 year old female identified as C. A. Varnell, b. TX. This may be worth its price---nothing."
