I am in the 7th great-grandmothers, up to number 569: Hannah LNU (????-1690). [Note: the 7th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts]. [Note: LNU = Last Name Unknown...]
My ancestral line back through one American generation of this LNU family line is:
1. Randall J. Seaver
2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)
4. Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942)
5. Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962)
8. Frank Walton Seaver (1852-1922)
9. Hattie Louise Hildreth (1857-1920)
16. Isaac Seaver (1823-1901)
17. Lucretia Townsend Smith (1827-1884)
34. Alpheus B. Smith (1802-1840)
35. Elizabeth Horton Dill (1791-1869)
70. Thomas Dill (1755-1830)
71. Hannah Horton (1761-1797)
142. Nathaniel Horton (1721-1775)
143. Eunice Snow (1722-????)
284. Samuel Horton (1686-1778)
285. Hannah Atwood (1686-????)
568. John Horton, died before 06 April 1710 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States. He married before 1677
569. Hannah, died 07 January 1689/90 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.
Children of John Horton and Hannah are:
i. Hopestill Horton, born about 1677 in probably Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; died 28 March 1734 in Chatham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; married (1) Ebenezer Snow 22 December 1698 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; born 1680 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; died 09 April 1725 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; married (2) Thomas Atkins 28 June 1739 in Barnstable, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; born 19 June 1671 in Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; died 1750 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States.
ii. Dorothy Horton, born about 1680 in probably Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; died before 1738 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; married David Doane 30 September 1701 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; born about 1674 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; died 18 November 1748 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States.
iii. Samuel Horton, born 31 January 1685/86 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; died before 01 April 1778 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States; married Hannah Atwood 28 January 1713/14 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States.
I know very little about John Horton (whose surname may have been Haughton or Houghton) and even less about his wife, Hannah.
The one resource that I have for descendants of John and Hannah (--?--) Horton is:
This work says about John and Hannah:
"John-1 Horton (Haughton) lived in Boston, MA with his wife Hannah, perhaps the Hannah Harden, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Long) Harden, who died in Boston 7 Jan 1690. On 6 Apr 1710 an administration for the late John Horton of Eastham was granted to his 'brother-in-law' Ebenezer Snow."
Apparently, Margaret Horton Weiler wrote a book about this Horton family:
Margaret Horton Weiler, Descendants of John Horton of Boston, Massachusetts and New London, Connecticut through his son Samuel Horton of Eastham, Massachusetts, (Camden, Me.: Penobscot Press, 1994).
I need to obtain that book, I think. Where's my to-do list? Ah, in RootsMagic!!

Randy, You've already accepted that Hannah Harden is the wife by putting in her death date.
A work in progress, Randy. Those guesses are challenging, aren't they? Wouldn't it be lovely if Margaret Weiler were still alive, or her supporting documents were filed somewhere? Then you could look at what she used to make these statements. Good luck!
