The Horner family is thought to have its origins in the Danish invasions of North England in the 8th century.  Our Indiana and Ohio Horner families began in North Yorkshire, England.

We follow the 1821 immigration of Elias Horner and his wife Dorothy, both 24, and their two small children, son Francis, 3, and daughter Hannah, only 6 months old.  1830 Census records first verify the family in Warren County, Ohio.  They moved to Indiana around 1844, finally settling in the Northern and Central parts of the state.

Over 300 people have descended from this original couple and their 10 children.  Thanks Elias and Dorothy!!
