• Notes

  "Historical Southern Families", Volume XII. Copyright 1968 by Mrs.John Bennett Boddie. Pages 1-89. 975 D2b. Here are some excerpts from Volume XII: Thomas2 Thornton, youngest child of Luke1 and Anne Thornton, was born April 5, 1688 (Northfarnham P.R.) and died in Richmond Co. in 1729. He married prior to April 2, 1711 Susannah, daughter of William and Elizabeth Smith(O. B. 6, p. 12; O. B. 8, p. 82; D. B. 8, p. 371). Susannah's mother, Elizabeth Smith, was daughter of Mrs. Mary Hughlett of Northumberland Co., who was a daughter of George Nichols (D. B. 6, p. 167). Thomas Thornton's will, dated June 28, 1729 and probated Oct. 1, 1729, mentions only his wife, Susannah (W. B. 5, p. 146). However, a deed in Richmond Co. Mar. 30, 1762 shows that Thomas and Susannah had three daughters, Rachel, Ann, and Ellen Thornton; that Rachel had married Francis Williams and was dead by 1762, leaving three daughters, Susannah wife of William Smith, Marina wife of George Beard, and Ann Williams, single; and that Susannah, widow of Thomas Thornton was only recently deceased (D. B. 12, p. 361). (page 12)
