Thomas Horton (Gloucester)

[4] He acquired Wotton by his marriage to Mary, the daughter of John Blanch.

[4] By 1722 he was mentally unfit to manage his estate and a petition was presented to the House of Lords by his wife and two daughters for support.

[6] Horton was succeeded by his son Thomas (died 1755), later of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.

[7] In 1746 he was subject to a "commission and inquisition of lunacy, into his state of mind and his property", records relating to which are held by the British National Archives.

[8] Horton junior's will, which was dated 1735, left his estate to his sisters Eleanor, the wife of Richard Roberts and Elizabeth, the wife of William Blanch.
