Do you know of Hortons Summit ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Hortons Summit. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Hortons Summit.<1>

Our sources for Hortons Summit (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Hortons Summit other than they indicate that Hortons Summit would be found somewhere in Scott County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1953.
