Moore - Landman Cemetery, 46-1 Summary Report, page 51
JACK HORTON: Pearl's great grandfather was a white slave owner. Amanda Jacobs was a slave that came to his farm after the Emancipation Proclamation. Amanda and Jack had three children together, one being Yancy Horton Sr. (Pearl's grandfather) and another oby, and a girl named Celia. After Jack Horton died, he left Amanda Jacovs 40 acres and then she married a guy named Sheffield. Amanda Jacobs was not from Pond Beat, but Pearl doesn't know where he was from.
PEARL's mother said Pearl's birthday was Feb. 18, 1919, but SS Office said had to be Jan. 18, 1919.
I HAVE THE HORTON FAMILY TREE.
Also in interviewing Pearl H. I learned that In 1928 the Cedar Grove Methodist church was moved from a mountain which was known as Cedar Grove Mountain to that area in Pond Beat--became one of the nicest in Pond Beat.
Nothing more is known of the Moore - Landman Cemetery (46-1) at this time.
