Out on the fringe...
- Robert
Horry, a basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs. I doubt that
we are related but it is an interesting coincidence of names.
- William Frederick
Horry, the famous 19th century murderer. William Frederick Horry was the landlord
of a hotel in Burslem, north Staffordshire who murdered his wife
at Boston, Lincs in January 1872. He was executed at Lincoln Castle the same year and has the dubious
distinction of being the first person to be hanged using the "Long Drop"
method. His story is part of the tour (or it was last time I visited 10 years ago). He is related
to the Horry Family Brewery, also from Boston but as far as we can surmise we are from a different line and
not related.
