[6] Lorenzo D. Poteet is an accomplished gentleman and scholar, a good writer and eloquent speaker, and has kindly furnished us the records of the descendants of Zephaniah Horton, Esq., of Buncombe, now Ashe Co., N. C. [7] The _Bayard_ was the square-rigged topsail sloop, named after the old merchant, of New York, anterior to the Revolution. He was afterwards known as the American Banker, Col. William Bayard. This vessel was afterwards rigged a brig, and sent to sea and lost at Cape Horn, about 1825. Another vessel, bearing the same name, in honor of Col. Bayard, was on the French line of packets--the first established between New York and France, and owned principally by Messrs. Le Roy, Bayard & Co. ALPHABETICAL INDEX OF THE HORTON CHRISTIAN NAMES.
