Obituary of Jeremiah Horn Compton
Died at the residence of Capt. Josiah Compton, in Sevier county, on the 19th of June, 1844, Jeremiah H Compton, aged 88 years, a native of Botetourt county, Va., He lived and died at patriot and by his conversation, did much in the latter part of his life, to kindle the same patriotic spirit in the rising generation, that so eminently distinguished the youth of the revolution. He had the honor of being under the command of Washington in several of his best fought battles and was with him at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. We hope that their spirits have been re-united in a better and happier world.

COMPTON, LAYMAN, RAEMER -
My ancestor was Jeremiah Horn Compton who was born in Oct. 1754 in Brunswick, Middlesex Co., N.J. and died 19 June 1844 in Sevier Co., TN. He married in 1787 in Botetourt Co., VA. Elizabeth Layman daughter of Joseph Layman. Jeremiah's parents were John and Margaret (Raemer) Compton of Botetourt Co., VA. This Compton line descends from William Compton born 1622 in Yorkshire, England and died in Long Island, New York. Does anyone know the English linage of this Compton family? Thanks,
