Sumner Horn (1 Nov 1818-1860) Matthew Horn (1820-?) Priscilla King Horn (22 Dec 1821-1860) Etheldred and Elizabeth had the following children: Rebecca P. Horn (1826-?) Mary Baker Horn (1847-?) James Baker Horn (1828-?) Etheldred Philips Horn

When Joel died in Edgecombe County NC Etheldred was a baby. His mother Sarah moved to White's
Creek north of Nashville TN to be near her brothers Joseph and Mathew Philips. Etheldred's uncle, Benjamin
Philips, was appointed guardian for him and his brother Matthew.
Matthew and Etheldred Horn appear on the 1811 Davidson County
Tax List. Based on information from the staff of TSLA, this Tax List was a survey
or tally of potential taxpayers, collected by the Justice of the Peace for each "precinct", and a number
was assigned to each taxpayer. It seems likely that numbers close together probably indictate proximity of
residence and property location. In this 1811 Tax List appearing on the same page of the Tally
are the following: #802 Etheldred Horn #804 Matthew Horn.
In 1813 Etheldred Horn purchased 640 acres on Barton's creek/ Wilson county
TN, and the next year he sold 383 acres on Barton's creek to Matthew Horn. These two
brothers are frequently cited in various records of Wilson County, apparently as successful
and responsible citizens. Barton's creek is east of Lebanon Tennessee, the county seat, and
just west of the community of Horn Springs.
Horn Springs Angus Farms
Wilson County, Tennessee
Horn Springs Angus Farm is located a very historic part of Wilson County. The area known as Hickory
Ridge in the early 1800's was given to Ethelred Horn as a 640 acre land grant from the state of North Carolina. Mr.
Horn’s son James Baker Horn inherited the farm in 1846 and made a discovery that would change the area and its name.
He was digging a well in 1870 when he found a spring flowing with water that tasted strange. He realized that the water
contained minerals and then sent a sample to Vanderbilt University for analysis. The analysis revealed that a wide array
of minerals were present. The potential medicinal properties prompted him to develop Horn Springs Resort. The
springs drew lots of people to the area. The resort that drew the affluent and later the more common people burned in
the 1950's. During the time of the resort, the land was also utilized as a working farm.
Quintin Smith and Charles Bell started Horn Springs Angus Farm in 1981. The Smith and Bell families
have long been known for producing quality cattle that not only perform in the show ring, but on fescue. Horn Springs
Angus Farm has been a family operation that has been managed by Quintin, his wife and four daughters. Currently the
operation that has approximately 150 registered Angus cows and 50 recipients is managed by Quintin and his wife.
