John Horner, Jr moved from Hanover, York Co, to what would later be Johnstown, Cambria Co in 1797. These are the notes I have on the ownership of what would be John Horner's land
"Samuel and Solomon Adams and their sister Rachel occupied it about 1770. Samuel Adams was on his way from this land to the block house at Bedford when he was killed in the Indian duel at Sandy Run in 1771. Peter Snyder sold his warrant to Henry Hill on July 28, 1774, and on May 28, 1776, thirty-six days before the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed, the commonwealth issued a patent for it to Mr. Hill, who sold it to George Clymer. The title passed through several parties and became vested in Martin Reilly, who sold it to John Horner, June 3, 1797."

That's the best I can do at this time.
