Citation Notes: 
The details of the lawsuit and his heirs helps to link him to the Auburn family because his heirs are his 2 daughters, his son-in-law, and Eliza Horner, which is consistent with the unmarried Eliza Horner, who would be his aunt and is still living in Auburn at the time of his death. https://books.google.com/books?id=K3YDAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA55&lpg=PA55&dq=pompton+james+horner& source=bl&ots=ygIwFdbvI3&sig=ACfU3U1bQ6W5gZuoteHz7ssijVIGI1tpgA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiYnZnvmJziAhWqUt8KHSLUCyMQ6AEwB3oECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=horner&f=false
