The good old times in McLean County, Illinois: containing two hundred and ...
By E. Duis (Published in 1874)
JOSIAH HORR.
Josiah Horr was born October 9,1807, in Lewis County, New York. His father's name was Jacob Horr, and his mother's name, before her marriage, was Hannah Pierce. Jacob Horr was descended from the Puritans who landed on Plymouth Rock. He was a farmer, and died in Ohio in about the year 1850 or 51. His wife Hannah was born in America, but was of English-Irish descent. She died in 1839, while on a visit to Cheney's Grove. Jacob Horr had eleven children, of whom ten lived to be grown, but only three are now alive. They are, William Horr, of Mechanicsburg, Champaign County, Ohio ; Elijah Horr, of Carthage, Jefferson County, N. Y., and Josiah Horr, the subject of the present sketch. William Horr was the youngest son.
Josiah Horr received his education in Lewis County, N. Y., where he attended a common school during the winter months until the age of twenty. In the summer time he worked on his father's farm. While only a boy, he resolved to come to the West. At the age of twenty-one he moved to Champaign County, Ohio, where he remained nearly eight years. He worked on a farm and in a woolen factory. In 1836, he came to the West, arriving at John W. Dawson's place in Old Town timber on the first of October. He had made three previous trips to visit the country, enter land and make a few improvements. The family passed through Cheney's Grove, visiting a few days with Jonathan Cheney, an uncle of Mrs. Horr. They lived two months in a house belonging to John Dawson, by which time they made a cabin on the place where they now live, in the present township of Padua. The first experience which the Horrs had of an Illinois winter, was with the sudden change of December, 1836. This was indeed a frightful experience and they were much terrified, but it never came again.
Mr. Horr was chosen justice of the peace and held this office with some interval for about fifteen years. He married William Harrison and Nancy Jane Dawson, and many years afterwards he married their daughter to C. H. Hobart. Mr. Horr always tried to settle amicably the cases which were brought before him, and often guaranteed the constable's costs in order to do so. He has been township trustee and school director, and for ten or twelve years he was supervisor. He is a member of the Methodist Church. Mr. Horr employed Abraham Lincoln to manage the first and only case the former ever had in McLean County ^Circuit Court, and Lincoln carried it through successfully. Mr. Horr belonged first to the Whig party, and afterwards to the Republican. He voted against Jackson, and after the latter retired from political life voted against Jackson's friends.
On the 28th of October, 1830, Josiah Horr married Temperance Cheney, who was born in Virginia, but left that State while she was very young. They have had eight children, four of whom were born in Illinois. Six lived to be grown; They are:
William Horr, mail agent on the L., B. & M. Railroad.
Elizabeth, wife of David M. Bunn, lives at Williamsburg, Franklin County, Kansas.
Martin Horr, lives about half a mile west of his father.
Abner Horr, lives near Galesburg, Neosho County, Kansas.
Sarah Horr, lives at home.
Martha, wife of James E. Wood, lives in Upper Mackinaw, McLean County.
Mr. Horr is six feet in height in his stocking feet. His hair is thick on his head and perfectly white. He has a Roman nose and blue eyes. He is very straight and is still very active. His appearance is impressive, and he possesses great energy and power of endurance. He had a postoffice for some years in his house, but it was discontinued a year ago last April.

If this is true then Jacob was the first child of Robert and Sarah's to leave Massachusetts. It is said that brothers Warren and Robert with Jacob moved there about the same time.
Jacob moved to Ohio before 1818.
