Notes - Jeffrey Horney's wife died at least ten years earlier when she was deposed as dead by June 1707 when William Dixon appeared in court on behalf of Geoffry Horney's daughter, Elizabeth. It is unclear where Jeoffrey Horney had gone when his daughter Elizabeth was in the care of Wiliam Dixon from 1703 to 1707, but he died by February 21, 1711
Twenty three years later at June Court 1707 William Dixon appeared in court to defend the honor of Elizabeth Horney. He deposed that at his house was Elizabeth Horney, daughter of Geoffry Horney, a poor decrepid woman who can neither stand nor go since about 4 years ago and her said father being gone and her mother dead was left helpless until he the petitioner took charge of her; she being deluded by some wicked person has delivered of a bastard child and is unable to care for it. However, Elizabeth died within the next five months. In November 1707 William Dixon appeared in court again when payment was made to him for keeping and caring for Elizabeth Horney and her child at his home and for burying Elizabeth after her death.
William Dixon died only three to six months after he appeared in November Court 1707 in defense of Elizabeth Horney. - There were trials and tribulations early on for the Horney's. Before he married and had the influence of a Quaker wife, Mortaugh Horney, laborer, along with Jeoffrey Horney, planter, were charged at court in March 1687 for stealing a barrow hog from Obadiah Judkins at Mill Hundred in Talbot County. They were ordered to restore four fold the value of the hog and ordered to stand in the pillory for two hours. Obadiah Judkins was a devout Quaker who married Joan Davis November 9, 1669 at Betty's Cove.
