Second Photograph: John Horton and Eliza Ann Powell Horton.

Several death certificates of the children of John Horton and Eliza Ann Powell give their mother's name as Martha or Mary. A decendant of William Joshua Horton (born 1844 in Caswell County stated that the story was that Eliza said her name was not Eliza Ann and that she hated to be called Eliza Ann. That would explain the Mary Powell/Martha Powell name discrepancy.

Eliza married John C. Horton on 28 Jan 1835 in Caswell County, North Carolina. John was born on 04 Jun 1809 in Caswell County, North Carolina; died on 15 Jan 1879 in Rowan County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet]

Bella Poteat Foster says she doesn't know why the Gillespie school was discontinued but it was where she went the first year. Miss Gertie Jones of Yanceyville remembers that when she was six around the turn of the century she went to Gillespie's and thinks there got to be more families living toward Yanceyville and that the New Hope School took over those to the east. Bella says her father gave the timber for the building described in Caswell's Architectural Inventory as "Small, gable-front building with overhanging eaves, single front panelled door. Originally served as a one room school."

Allen Smith: "I have heard the story about the baby being buried there but did not recall names or dates. Poteats lived closeby (at the end of the now Guthrie Road) and I believe the baby was very young, perhaps stillborn? and they asked permission and it was given." 20 April 2011 Post to the CCHA Facebook Page.
