Perhaps the earliest record of the Horns being present in Twiggs County shows up in 1813. Joab Horn is listed in the reconstructed census taken in 1813. The entry reads:
"1813 Horne, Joab Guardian of Nancy Green (orphan of John), Twiggs County deed"

Several references to Joab Horn business transactions have been discovered from newspaper accounts. On April 1, 1824 a Sheriff Sales was held at the Marion Court House. Joab Horn sold two negro slaves to satisfy a debt to Robert Radford. In the Sat, May 30, 1829 issue of the Georgia Journal, a Sheriff Sales at the Marion Courthouse was conducted. Joab Horn sold 202 ½ acres of land (land lot 92) and a slave named Shade to satisfy a debt to the Bank of Darien. It's interesting to note that 202 ½ acres was the parcel size of the land lots awarded to land lottery winners in Georgia. Have not found any references to any of the Horns being awarded land during the lottery that was held when Twiggs County was formed.
