		Horton was born into slavery in North Carolina, probably in 1797, under the ownership of William Horton, a small landowner.

		Young George was put to work in the fields as a "cow-boy," work he found very disagreeable and which was no doubt boring to a young man with a quick mind and an ear for verse.
		According to one of Horton's critics, the admiration of the UNC students and faculty caused Horton to become "intoxicated with his own cleverness which he tried to impress upon others" It is interesting to note that on more than one occasion Horton tried to prove his own genius.
