Notes for Leonard Hornsby:
Early researchers believed that the Hornsby families in the American Colonies came from the common source of William Hornsby, born about 1675 in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk Co., England. They listed the children of William Hornsby as Joseph Hornsby (1697-?) who married Hannah Linkley, Leonard Hornsby (1699-1779) who married Elizabeth, Moses Thomas Hornsby (1702-1772) who married Margaret, Ann Hornsby (abt.1705-?) who remained in England and married a Mr. Robinson, William H. Hornsby (abt 1707-?), and a Marmaduke Hornsby.
Of the above listed children, Joseph Hornsby had at least one brother and one sister. The brother, Thomas (not Moses Thomas) Hornsby (birth: 17 Jan 1702; death: 27 May 1772) was born in Lincolnshire, England, and married Margaret (birth: 1703/4; death: 25 Feb 1770). This brother, Thomas Hornsby, immigrated to America around 1730, and was a leading merchant in colonial Williamsburg.In his will, probated 15 June 1772, this Thomas Hornsby left a legacy of two hundred pounds sterling to his brother Joseph and an equal amount to the children of his sister Ann Robinson of Craiselound, in the parish of Haxey, near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. Thomas also left legacies to nephews Joseph and William Hornsby. While this establishes the connection between Joseph, Thomas and Ann there is no other documentation that indicates there were other siblings. Nor has any connection been made to a William Hornsby as their father. And further I have never seen any evidence supporting the existence of William H. Hornsby or Marmaduke in this generation.
It is quite possible there is a connection, if not sibling then possibly cousins. If it is true that Leonard was born in Lincolnshire, England then it is even more likely there is some relation. At this time, without the support of documentation or other convincing evidence, we have to assume there are several separate Hornsby families that settled in America. While early families appeared to have some common given names, each family had their own distinct naming patterns and areas of the country to which they migrated. We need to review these early generations more to ascertain if there is a connection between them. Research into their counties of origin in England should assist our efforts. But in my opinion, the priority at this point is to define as accurate as possible the different family groups in America.
Research continues into the families of the children of Leonard Hornsby as well. While some of his children's lines are well established and documented others are not. Some of the early researches on these families have combined families from these different family groups present in America. It is very difficult to identify these families and individuals and separate them to their proper family groups. All this, of course, is my interpretation of the data and is subject to change at any time as new information is discovered. As this work in progress continues we are finding more information that will probably change some of the more traditional research on this family.

Concerning where the Hornsby, Blake and Windham families lived in South Catolina - John B. Windham
In early South Carolina, land deeds/grants and exactly where the land was located was not described as Townships, Ranges, and Sections as it is in many (but not all) areas of the United States.Usually, in early South Carolina the location of the land was simply stated as being on or near a particular waterway (Branch, Creek, River, etc.).The description of where the land was located may include the names of other land owners whose land bordered the land being purchased or sold.The lack of more detailed information of where the land was located, sometimes makes it just about impossible to determine exactly where someone lived, even if a land deed, land grant or other legal document is found.
It is very important to understand that all records before 1785 were filed in Charleston, Charleston Co., SC, regardless of the residence in South Carolina of the person filing the record.The South Carolina State Capital was moved from Charleston to Columbia, Richland County, South Carolina, in 1786.Any record (Wills, probates, land, etc) that were filed after 1785 could have been filed in one of the districts that was created in 1785.Because of the remote area of this South Carolina "Back Country" and the far distances needed to be traveled to record a legal document (land deed, Will, etc), many times these legal documents where written, signed and just held at home by a private citizen until there was an opportunity and need to legally record that document at the Courthouse.It is possible that many times, a legal document was written signed and held by a private individual in a particular county or district, then at a later time (sometimes, many years later) the document was filed at a Courthouse.Sometimes, by then, the district or county lines had been redrawn and even though the person did not move, the document was then filed for record in a renamed, completely different district or county from what it was called when he had originally made the legal document.This explains how a legal document is sometimes found filed in a courthouse that was not even in existence when that document was dated and signed.
It was on the 12th day of March in 1785 that Camden District, South Carolina, was subdivided into seven (7) counties of York, Chester, Fairfield, Lancaster, Richland, Claremont, and Clarendon (Source: "The Statutes At Large of South Carolina; Edited, Under Authority of the Legislature" by Thomas Cooper, M.K.-L.L.D., Vol. Fourth, containing the acts from 1752, Exclusive, to 1786, Inclusive.). This arrangement lasted until 1791, when the counties of York and Chester were removed from Camden District and became part of the Pinckney District. At that time (19 Feb 1791), Kershaw County was created out of the lower portion of Lancaster County. When Kershaw County was created 19 Feb1791, it also took (in addition to the lower portion of Lancaster County) the southeastern tip from Fairfield County (then making this area the south-western tip of Kershaw County). The area that Kershaw County took from Fairfield County was bounded on the north-east by Wateree River, on the south basically by Twenty Five Mile Creek (also known as Five and Twenty Creek). The southern line was a straight line and Twenty Five Mile Creek is crooked so Twenty Five Mile was not the actual boundary but it was "basically" Twenty Five Mile Creek. The western boundary of the tip taken by Kershaw County from Fairfield County was the present-day Fairfield-Kershaw Counties line.The South Carolina State Act of 19 Feb 1791 that created Kershaw County, also took a portion of the area of the north-eastern tip of Richland County and gave that area to the newly formed Kershaw County.It was the area near Bear Creek, south-west of Wateree River, north of "basically" Twenty Five Mile Creek and east of the present-day Fairfield-Kershaw Counties line, where it is believed that Samuel B. Windham lived from about 1790 to about 1800.The area on Twenty-Five Mile Creek where it is believed Samuel B. Windham lived is maybe about 15 to 20 miles south of the mouth of Wateree Creek that empties into Wateree River in north-eastern Fairfield County, SC, where the Blake and Hornsby families lived.
We know that Samuel B. Windham married about 1791 or early 1792 to Leah Blake, daughter of William Blake and his wife Phanuel "Phanuel" Hornsby.We can determine this approximate marriage date because of the birthdate of their first born child, Hughston (Houston) Windham (proven by an entry in the Hornsby/Stroud Bible).Knowing that Samuel B. Windham married Leah Blake in 1791 or early 1792, it is logical to believe that he lived "fairly" close to the Blakes and Hornsbys before and during this 1791 and 1792 time period.It is proven that William Blake, father of Leah Blake, lived on Wateree Creek, present-day Fairfield County, South Carolina, in 1781 (proven by William Blake's Will).However, in 1781 this area was known only as Camden District because Fairfield County was not created until 1785.It is proven that Leah Blake was living in Camden District, Fairfield County, South Carolina, in the household of her widowed mother, Phanuel "Fanny" Blake, in 1790 when the federal census was taken.It is proven that Leonard Hornsby, grandfather of Leah Blake, lived on that same Wateree Creek, present-day Fairfield County, South Carolina, in 1779 (proven by Leonard Hornsby's Will).However, in 1779 this area was known only as Camden District because Fairfield County was not created until 1785.The Blakes and Hornsbys were apparently very close neighbors to each other.Wateree Creek is located in the extreme north-eastern tip of present-day Fairfield County, South Carolina, and Wateree Creek empties into Wateree River just north-east of the very small Fairfield County, SC, community of Bucklick.The community of Bucklick, Fairfield County, SC, is such a small community that a detailed county map is required in order to locate it on a map.The location of where Wateree Creek empties into Wateree River can also be easily found by looking at a east bank modern-day map of Wateree River and seeing where the common border line between Lancaster County and Kershaw County, South Carolina, meet the Wateree River on the east bank.After finding this point, almost directly across the Wateree River and a little to the north on the west bank of Wateree River is where Wateree Creek empties into Wateree River.Big Wateree Creek and Little Wateree Creek are both very long creeks.These two smaller creeks come together (converge) and then these two combined smaller creeks becomes known as just Wateree Creek (the "Big" and "Little" words are dropped) about two and one-half miles before it empties into Wateree River.Wateree Creek is only about two and one-half miles long measured from the juncture of Big Wateree Creek and Little Wateree Creek to the mouth of Wateree Creek where it meets Wateree River.Somewhere on the two and one-half miles section of Wateree Creek before it empties into Wateree River is where it is believed the Blake and Hornsby families (including William Blake and Leonard Hornsby) lived before 1792.Most modern-day maps do not show this two and one-half miles of Wateree Creek just before it empties into Wateree River because, today, there is a large dam downstream on Wateree River that forms the very large and long Lake Wateree.The dam that forms Lake Wateree has backed-up water that swallows-up or floods almost the entire two and one-half miles long Wateree Creek, therefore, on most modern-day maps, only Big Wateree Creek and Little Wateree Creek names are shown.However, the two and one-half miles long Wateree Creek is still there under the backwaters of Lake Wateree.
Using the 1798 land sale by Samuel B. Windham, tax listings, census records and land records for two brothers of Samuel B. Windham (Reuben Windham and Willis Windham),it appears that the Windham families lived about 15 to 20 miles south-west of where the Blakes and Hornsby families lived on Wateree Creek in Fairfield County, South Carolina.It is believed that Samuel B. Windham lived somewhere just a little north of Twenty-Five Mile Creek and just a little south-west of Bear Creek in what is the present-day south-western tip of Kershaw County.From 1785 until 18 Feb 1791 this area that Samuel B. Windham is believed to have lived in was the eastern tip of Fairfield County, South Carolina.The County boundary line changed on 19 Feb 1791 and the area both north and south of Twenty-Five Mile Creek became part of Kershaw County, South Carolina.The area "basically" north of Twenty-Five Mile Creek was taken from Fairfield County and put in Kershaw County.The area "basically" south of Twenty-Five Mile Creek was taken from Richland County and put in Kershaw County.After 19 Feb 1791, without moving, Samuel B. Windham was then living in Kershaw County, SC, instead of Fairfield County, SC.
"Where did Leonard Hornsby die?I have seen it recorded that he died in the following places: Camden District, SC.....Chester Co., SC......in Fairfield County, SC.....and in Kershaw County, SC.....He died in Camden District."

The following excerpts are from the transcription of what was first known as the "Hornsby Family Bible". It is believed by some that the Bible originally belonged to John Hornsby, son of Leonard Hornsby. It is possible, noting the date of publication that the Bible first belonged to Leonard Hornsby. Apparently this "Hornsby Family Bible" was brought into the Stroud Family when Nancy Hornsby married Joseph H. Stroud. After being passed down and remaining in the possession of several generations of the Stroud family, it eventually became to known as the "Stroud Family Bible". All the following information was copied from the "Stroud Family Bible" & accompanying documents. Transcribers notes are inserted in parenthesis. Original Bible and documents examined and photocopied by John B. Windham. Final transcription presented by Rex McLaurin and John B. Windham.
