You have six of the 7 "families" -- the final one being WR (for Wichita Mountain Wildlide Refuge). Barns was one of the men that scoured the countryside looking for the animals that became part of the WR herd, back in the 1920's I think. Don't know about Hatton. Try contacting the TLBA or the ITLBA for information regarding horn type associated with the specific families. I don't think there is near the correlation for the 7 "families" to the the 7 horn types you listed as you might believe. From what little I know on the subject I think most people that breed for massive horn size do so with Butler line animals, whereas some of the other families are noted for specific body characteristics. For good information on Longhorns as well as other ranching articles a fine site to visit is <A HREF="http://www.asocl.com" TARGET="_blank">www.asocl.com</A> (that's the website for a Longhorn breeder known as a A Splash of Color).
