THORNTON
By Marcine E. Lohman
Thomas Thornton, I
Generation No. 1
1. Thomas1 Thornton I was born before 1719 in North Carolina1, and died before July
16, 1777 in Duplin County, North Carolina. He married Martha Unknown before 1735 in
Virginia or North Carolina2. She died Unknown.
Thomas Thornton, the father of John Thornton of my ancestry, has been a mystery for
years. Unable to locate any information further back in North Carolina to indicate
parentage, I began searching in Virginia for any Thomas who matches him that could have
relocated to North Carolina. In researching the "other" Thomas Thornton's in Virginia, most
died there which eliminates them. For instance, Thomas Thornton, son of Luke Thornton
and Anne died 28 Jun 1729 in Richmond County, Virginia. Thomas Thornton who married
Agatha Curtis died before April 1741 in Lancaster County, Virginia. His son Thomas died
1767 in Prince William County, Virginia. Thomas Thornton (wife Martha Boykin) died before
April 1762 in Perquimans county, North Carolina (this line were Quakers from Isle of Wight
County, VA). Thomas Thornton, son of Luke Thornton II, died circa 1763 in Richmond
County, Virginia. Thomas Thornton, son of Daniel Thorneton, I have no death date but only
show him in England. His wife was Martha Wilson supposedly (not proven). Thomas
Thornton, son of Thomas Thornton and Elizabeth Davis, died before 02 Dec 1771 in
Richmond County, Virginia.
My best possibility is (1) Thomas Thornton, son of Mark Thornton and Mary Bruce, whom I
lose track of in Richmond County, Virginia. (Especially since his brother Mark died in
Warren County, NC and his brother John died in Spartanburg County, SC).
But other
researchers indicate that in 1752 there is a John, Mark and Thomas Thornton listed
together on the Lunenburg County Virginia Tithe List. And in 1764 Thomas Thornton owns
land on the south side of Smith's Creet, Bute County, NC. The implication is this is Mark's
brother Thomas. This would make me believe that they came to North Carolina after 1752
while my Thomas was there as early as 1747 (per land deeds).
The other possibility is (2) Thomas Thornton, son of William Thornton of Maryland (Will
proved 3 Feb 1738) and Catherine who is unaccounted for. He has a brother John. The
Thomas Thornton of Maryland married a Mary and had a son Thomas born 11 Feb 1742.
It could also be that my Thomas immigrated to North Carolina and is not related to the
Virginia Thornton's at all. It also appears that my Thomas shows up in 1747 in Johnston
County shortly after it was divided from Cravens County. This is my earliest record of him.
1
How can my Thomas be in Johnston Co., NC and in Lunenburg Co., VA at the same time?
I've not found any slaves, sale of property or anything else belonging to both that make me
believe the two Thomas Thornton's are identical persons. Also, the only listing of Martha as
his wife comes from John Thornton's bible. I have no concrete proof that the other children
listed are actually John's brothers. They merely lived and bought land in the same area of
Duplin/Sampson/Johnston County, North Carolina.
I also believe that there are three generations of Thomas Thornton's who are being mistaken
for each other.
(1) Thomas Thornton, d. before July 16, 1777 in Duplin County (Estate sale lists his oldest
son Thomas). If Thomas Sr. was at least 18 when he had his first son, Thomas, then he
would have to have been born before 1719.
(2) Thomas Thornton, Jr., purchased land from Mark Phillips on March 15, 1755 which was
witnessed by Thomas Thornton, Sr. I'm told that persons had to be at least 18 years of age
to purchase land. This means that Thomas Jr. was born before 1737.
(3) Thomas Thornton & wife Rebecca Lee listed on will of Peter Lee, Sr., dated 28 Jan 1804,
probated 12 Nov 1804. This Thomas served in the Rev. War I'm told, was born 1755 and
died in 1806. I have found no Rev. War records for him.

Recipients were John Rossie (not very clear writing, but appears to be the
husband of Joanne Thornton who may be dead by this time since she is
not mentioned by name.), Nathaniel Thornton, Thomas Thornton, Sarah
Underwood, William Lee and wife Zilphah, Benjamin Thornton.
CR.056.501.1, page 141, Decmeber 23, 1793. Thomas Thornton, Sr. of
Sampson County sold a Negro girl named Jemima, about 11 years old, to
John Rosser of Johnston County, N. Carolina. Witnesses were William Lee
and Samuel Lee, Jr. [I believe John Rosser is his son-in-law]
In the Will for Thomas Thornton, dated November 19, 1801, he leaves 10
shillings to daughter Joanna. However, by August 22, 1806 when the Will
is probated, only John Rosser is listed whereas the other daughters are
indicated by name and not their husband. I found a marriage for John
Rosser to Elizabeth Pearce dated January 28, 1804 in Johnston County, NC.
Either the elder John has remarried or this is a son.

Notes for Thomas Thornton III:
I believe that there are three generations of Thomas Thornton's who are
being mistaken for each other.
(1) Thomas Thornton, d. before July 16, 1777 in Duplin County (Estate sale
lists his oldest son Thomas)
(2) Thomas Thornton, Jr. purchased land from Mark Phillips on March 15,
1755 which was witnessed by Thomas Thornton, Sr. (Thomas Jr. had to be
at least 18 to buy land).
(3) Thomas Thornton & wife Rebecca Lee listed on will of Peter Lee, Sr.,
dated 28 Jan 1804, probated 12 Nov 1804.

[Marcine's Note: This can't be the Nathaniel Thornton who purchased land in 1760. This
Nathaniel's maximum age is 44 which would mean he was born after 1756. The Nathaniel
who purchased land in 1760 had to be at least 18 to buy land and thus was born before
1742 plus he was a witness on a deed between Mark Phillips of Cumberland County to
Thomas Thornton Jr. dated: 15 March 1755. If he was at least 18 to witness the land
transfer then he was born before 1737. So is the Nathaniel (son of Thomas I) born before
1737/1742 even still alive by this time? I found no other Nathaniel Thornton's on the
Census Indexes. Does this mean that this Nathaniel Thornton, born after 1756, is the son of
Thomas II? Or Nathaniel son of Nathaniel Sr?]

Notes for Wiley Cornelius Thornton:
There is a Wiley Thornton who married H. H. Hardin on 26 Apr 1821 in
Oglethorpe County, Georgia which is the area where Herod James and
Sarah settled. I am unable to locate a marriage of Wiley to Sarah Ann
Easterling but am still looking.
Charles Thompson purchased tracts of land in the neighboring county of
Walton on 30 December 1823, 16 January 1828, and 2 June 1829. He sold
his Walton County properties on 7 September 1846. He moved to
Claiborne Parish Louisiana soon after that sale. It is interesting that
Charles purchased that
33
property from Thurman Harris and sold it twenty years later to James
Harris.
The records show that Wiley Thornton, a friend of Charles, sold his Walton
County property in 1845. He may have moved to Claiborne Parish and
wrote to Charles saying, "Come on out, the fishing is great." Thereafter,
Charles sold his property and hauled his family to Louisiana in wagons. He
lived near Wiley.
Seaborn J. Thompson returned to Claiborne Parish about 1861 from
Mississippi. A widower, he married Sallie Corry in 1863. Sallie was a widow
of A. N. Corry. She was the daughter of Wiley Thornton who lived near
Charles Thompson in Walton County Georgia in 1840. In 1850, Wiley lived
near his friend Charles Thompson in Claiborne Parish Louisiana. They
apparently moved to Louisiana together. Other families were listed being
from Georgia on the Claiborne Parish censuses.

Text: "Herod Sr. served on the county jury and the Grand Jury in Johnston County. (Court of
Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Bk. IX, 1812-1815). In 1820 he lived next door to Lewis Jackson
and Mack Bundy. His last land transaction in Johnston County was 18 Nov 1827, (Sampson
County DB 14, Pg. 39). He appears on the Fayette County, Georgia Tax List 1829. "Uncle
Neely" was probably right in saying that he settled in Fayette county in 1828.
His friend Samuel Lee also left North Carolina and came to Georgia and was in Dallas
County, Alabama by 1830. I often wonder if these two old friends ever saw each other
again.
Herod could not write his name. He was born in 1778 and it is doubtful that he ever saw
the inside of a school. Yet, he bought and sold so much land that it is difficult to keep track
of his holdings.
C A Thornton (Uncle Neeley) was 14 when Herod, Sr. died. He said that Herod moved his
famly to Georgia from North Carolina in horse carts. It is possible that Herold told him
about their move. It must have been hard for a 50 year old man to sell everything and leave
his family knowing he would never see them again. I don't know how long it took them to
travel to Georgia, but I have read that roads were nothing more than cleared paths and
sometimes tree stumps were not even removed. Too, they had young children.

Notes for Phereby Lee:
36
She has also been listed as "Phereba Lee".
Phereby married Herod Thornton in Johnston County, North Carolina after her first
husband, William McClenny, died. The McClenny's and Thornton's had been neighbors in
Sampson County in 1810 and had close family ties when they lived in Johnston County,
North Carolina prior to that. Herod & Phereby left North Carolina and settled in Fayette
County, Georgia in the late 1820's. Phereby was listed in the 1860 Census, page 117, # 840
in Fayette County, Georgia as 70 years of age, a farmer, born in North Carolina. Her $
502.25 estate was settled on 1 January, 1877 and she was buried in Thornton Cemetery,
Hopefull Community, North Fayette County, Georgia along with her second husband, Herod
Thornton.
Phereby's will was probated in 1872 and the heirs by William received sums in the amount
of $71.35.

Felix Thornton was born in Duplin County, North Carolina (known as Sampson County after
1784) and is seen living in Sampson County, North Carolina on the 1810 Census records
with two adults born before 1765 (his parents). John Thornton, Felix's father, deeded (Deed
Book 14,Pages 308-309) "the Plantation whereon the said John now lives" to his son, Felix
Thornton for $500 dollars. This deed, dated 20 March 1807 is signed by John and Agnes
Thornton. Since Felix has children born as late as 1816 in North Carolina, this would
indicate that he moved to Smith County, Tennessee sometime between 1816 - 1820 (when
he shows up on the 1820 census there) and if we are to believe the 1850 Schuyler County,
Illinois census records, left for Schuyler County, Illinois sometime between 1828/1829 when
his son, Francis M. Thornton, was born in Tennessee and 1830 when Felix shows up on the
Schuyler County, Illinois census.

Notes for Rebecca Scales:
A listing for the Thornton Family Cemetery in Fayette County, Georgia indicates that
Rebecca Scales Thornton was a widow of Herod Thornton and that she died on November
21, 1867. This is quite a bit before the 1891 date I have for Herod. I suspect Herod's date
of death may not be correct.

Notes for Louisa Thornton:
The Rushville Times Newspaper, October 14, 1909, Rushville, Illinois
Death of Schuyler Pioneer.
Mrs. Louisa Thornton Reno had lived in Schuyler County eighty years.
Mrs. Louisa Thornton Reno, Schuyler county’s oldest resident, died at the home of her son,
Benjamin F. Reno, in Browning township, on Sunday evening, aged 96 years, 9 months and 7
days.
Mrs. Reno was a native of North Carolina, and came to Schuyler county with her parents in
1829, and they were among the first settlers of Browning township, which was to be her
home for nearly eighty years.
In 1838 Louisa Thornton was united in marriage to Jonathan Reno, son of a pioneer of the
same name, who had come to Schuyler in 1825. Their marriage was solemnized in
Browning township, and here the greater portion of their lives was spent, as they returned
to Schuyler in 1843 after spending one year in Iowa on what was then the frontier of our
77
western civilization. Mr. Reno died on the old homestead farm in 1884, and since then his
widow has made her home with her son, Benj. F. Reno, who purchased the old home place.
Tho she lived to a remarkable old age, Mrs. Reno was ever possessed of an unusually active
mind and she retained her faculties to the end of her long, useful and beautiful life. Her
memory was clear of the early pioneer days and her friends delighted in her stories of the
log cabin and tallow dip days and especially of the winter of 1830, known as the winter of
the big snow. Almost incredible seem the experiences of the people who were making that
early history, and the discouragements they encountered and obstacles they overcame
pronounce them people of more than ordinary purposes and determination. Mrs. Reno
recalled the wigwam of the Indians and her many experiences with them, although for the
most part they at that time had moved to other hunting grounds, returning, however,
occasionally to the former place of their abode.

Notes for Jonathan Reno, Jr.:
Jonathan Reno went to Schuyler County, Illinois in 1825. He received a bounty land warrant
for NENE Section 36, Township 03N, Range 01W, Meridian 4 for 40 acres which is shown
dated 12 November 1827. He purchased additional property in 1833 and 1836.
(http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/genealogy/landsrch.html)
Jonathan served in the 4th regiment. of the Illinois Mounted Volunteers during the Black
Hawk War in 1832 and received a Bounty Land Warrant (No. 26119) for 120 acres of land in
1855. He gained the rank of Corporal even though it is recorded he lost his horse. In 1836
they purchased a farm near Ridgeville. He was a township supervisor and one of the
founders of "The Church at Ridgeville." He was also a Private. in Capt. Vance's Co. of the 1st
Illinois Mounted Volunteers in Duncan's Brig. in the Sac & Fox War. His widow Louisa
(Thornton) received a pension for his military service, Pension Bureau File No. 703-205
(William L. Reno, 1975, ms.). Roger Reno adds that "Their farm, acquired in 1836, remained
in the family for 132 years before it was sold by Ellsworth Reno in 1968 at his retirement."
The Thorntons came to Schuyler County, Illinois, in 1829 from which Louisa Thornton is
associated.
Sue Damewood adds that Jonathan and his family lived in Iowa in 1842-1843 but by 1849
they are shown living in Browning Township in Schuyler County, Illinois.

Notes for Albern J. Thornton:
I had listed that Albern was born in Smith County, Tennessee, however, younger siblings
were born in North Carolina. I suspect he may have been born in NC and this is also listed
as such on the 1850 Schuyler County, Illinois Census records.
My mom told me that Alburn was hit by a peach seed when he was trying to break up a
fight and the wound became infected causing his death. But the below obituary would seem
to show another cause of death.
The Rushville Times Newspaper, February 20, 1880, Rushville, Illinois
Mr. Alburn Thornton died on the 9th inst., of consumption. He has been a resident of this
county for many years and was much respected. (Browning item).

Milton Thornton was a Union Veteran of the Civil War, in the Missouri Militia Home Guard,
Osage County, 8th Regiment, Captain Charles D. Martin Commander. Milton enlisted on
June 22, 1861, was mustered out December 20, 1861, enlisted again at Lebanon, Missouri
October 26, 1863 in M.S.M. Calvery 8th Regiment, Captain Jacob Casseints commanding.
(Consolidated with county Militia.) He was honorably discharged July 17, 1865 but was
bushwhacked and hung by ex-confederates shortly after the war. Family stories tell that his
son was with him and he persuaded the ex-confederates to let his son go home (so he
wouldn't have to watch his father die). Civil War Service Records indicate he was a
musician. This is confirmed by a newspaper article dated 2 Feb 1921 in a Schuyler County,
Illinois Newspaper which talks of a 200 year old fiddle that originally belonged to Milton
Thornton. This may also offer a reason for his death as he was listed as a member of the
Jesse James Gang in the newspaper article.
"The violin originally belonged to Milton Thornton, a member of the Jesse James gang,
which terrorized the middle west. It came into the hands of a man named Spillers who lived
in the vicinity of Beardstown. James Teel, now deceased, secured it from him, and Mrs.

Lives next door to James Littrell/Luttrell & James C. Shelton.
Where Milton was born is also in question. He has indicated Tennessee and Alabama on
census records however, when he was only 1 year old he appears on the Schuyler County,
Illinois census records. His next older brother, Francis Marion Thornton, has consistently
indicated that he was born in Tennessee so we are sure the family were in Smith County,
Tennessee until 1828 or 1829. What we are not sure of is since his father, Felix, purchased
land in Schuyler County, Illinois in 18 Dec 1835 and 09 Mar 1838 does that show as proof
that they were living in Schuyler County, Illinois as early as 1835 thus making Milton born
in Schuyler County, Illinois?

OWNS VIOLIN 200 YEARS OLD
February 2, 1921
Illinois
Pioneer Residents of Frederick Danced to the Music of This Old Fiddle.
Ernest E. Bowman of Industry has a violin, which he claims is 200 years old, and its history
is narrated as follows by the editor of the Industry Press, and old time Schuylerites may be
able to corroborate the story of its ownership in Schuyler 60 years ago.
That it is of great age and has had much use is plainly apparent. The ebony finger board
has been worn thru by the fingers of several generations of players. The portion of the
instrument held by the players' chin has been worn so thin that paper has been pasted on it
to keep it from wearing thru. The present owner has applied a regular chin rest to protect
the remaining wood. While we are not versed in the art of violin manufacture certain
differences in the construction of the instrument as compared with modern violins, are
noticeable. The neck is thicker, the vertical strip of wood around the outside of the
soundbox is divided differently and the top of the box is considerably higher under the "E"
string than on the other side.
The most interesting thing about the instrument as well as the circumstance which gives
most weight to the claim of age is the inscription in the bottom of the box or sound
119
chamber which reads as follows:
1721."
"Antonious Stradivarius Ceremonenfis Faciebat Anno
The personal knowledge of the instrument by people now living reaches back over a period
of sixty years or more. Mrs. Sarah Teel (Sarah M. Thornton, dau. of Alburn & Nancy),
grandmother of Mrs. Bowman and now living at Vermont, danced to the music of this
instrument on Frederick landing when she was a girl.
The history as far back as it can be traced is as follows:
The violin originally belonged to Milton Thornton, a member of the Jesse James gang, which
terrorized the middle west. It came into the hands of a man named Spillers who lived in the
vicinity of Beardstown. James Teel, now deceased, secured it from him, and Mrs. James Teel
gave it to her daughter's husband, the present owner, recently. He is repairing it and in due
season the mellow tones of this old violin will recall the memories of long ago.

listed next to James Anderson born Kentucky and Mary does indicate that her father was
born in Kentucky. A coincidence?

Notes for William Shelton Thornton:
The parentage of this William Shelton Thornton has been questioned. He does not show up
on the 1860 census with the family of Milton Owen Thornton when he would be 9 years old
but he does show up with the family of Shelton and Sarah (Bryant) Luttrell who were the
parents of Milton's first wife, Judith Ann Luttrell (Judith had died in 1858). I believe he is
living with his grandparents rather than his father and that I have the parentage right. In
Elizabeth Elender Floyd's widows affidavit for her deceased 1st husband, Milton Owen
Thornton, she indicates that "Milton O. Thornton first wife was born Feb. 15, 1830, her
name is Julie Ann Littrell. Their son name, William S. Thornton, born Jan 27, 1851. Died
Schuyler County, Illinois." She indicates that William Shelton Thornton is deceased by the
date of the filing of her affidavit which was February 10, 1917 which conflicts with the
March 23, 1925 date I have. Since he stayed in Schuyler County, Illinois, would she even
know if he was still alive?

Thornton is listed as born in 1875. I suspect that Chester was the son of William's first
marriage to Delilah Thornton.

Notes for William Shelton Thornton:
The parentage of this William Shelton Thornton has been questioned. He does not show up
on the 1860 census with the family of Milton Owen Thornton when he would be 9 years old
but he does show up with the family of Shelton and Sarah (Bryant) Luttrell who were the
parents of Milton's first wife, Judith Ann Luttrell (Judith had died in 1858). I believe he is
living with his grandparents rather than his father and that I have the parentage right. In
Elizabeth Elender Floyd's widows affidavit for her deceased 1st husband, Milton Owen
Thornton, she indicates that "Milton O. Thornton first wife was born Feb. 15, 1830, her
name is Julie Ann Littrell. Their son name, William S. Thornton, born Jan 27, 1851. Died
Schuyler County, Illinois." She indicates that William Shelton Thornton is deceased by the
date of the filing of her affidavit which was February 10, 1917 which conflicts with the
March 23, 1925 date I have. Since he stayed in Schuyler County, Illinois, would she even
know if he was still alive?

"...I notice that William Thornton and Martha were married in 1879, but Chester Roy
Thornton is listed as born in 1875. I suspect that Chester was the son of William's first
marriage to Delilah Thornton.

Notes for Sarah Jane Thornton:
Although Sarah Jane Thornton (b. July 22, 1857) has Elizabeth Floyd listed as her mother on

Her father, Milton Owen Thornton, remarried to Elizabeth Elender Floyd on January 18,
1860 when Sarah was only 2 1/2 years old. This is confirmed by Elizabeth (Floyd) Luttrell
on the 1900 and 1910 census records where she indicates she had 8 children - four by
Milton Owen Thornton and four by Hamen C. Ellan Luttrell.

Louis Thornton's daughter, Delsie Remenda (Thornton) Godfrey, had
visited her aunt Nancy Ash just before she died and was called to her
bedside whereupon Nancy stated that she had given birth to two boys
from Andrew Irwin (Andrew & Bill) and that Stella was also Drew's child.
Delsie stated that she would swear that her aunt had told her that. Until
this time, Nancy had always told everyone that Stella's father was Green
Berry Ash. I was told that after Nancy found religion and started going to
church, she destroyed any documents showing Stella was illegitimate.

and died August 19, 1958 in Pacific, Franklin County, Missouri 968. She met (1) Andrew
"Drew" Vincent Irwin, son of Vincent Irwin and Elizabeth Polly. He was born January 03,
1873 in Camden County, Missouri969,970,971,972, and died August 07, 1963 in Iberia, Miller
County, Missouri973. She married (2) Green Berry Ash December 01, 1900 in Iberia, Miller
County, Missouri974, son of Frank Rodden and Elizabeth Ash. He was born July 20, 1874 in
Brumley, Miller County, Missouri (Tombstone says Aug 13, 1874)975,976,977,978,979,980,981, and died
December 13, 1957 in Pacific, Franklin County, Missouri982,983.
Notes for Nancy Ann Mahala Thornton:
Nancy Ann Mahala (Thornton) Ash was 9 years old when they left Schuyler County, Illinois
for Missouri and was 13 years old when her father died. My mom told me that Nancy use to
cut railroad ties to make extra money when Green Berry would run back home to his mother
to stay. She found cutting railroad ties much easier work than doing other people's laundry
and it paid much better.
Nancy Ash had a unique gift and would read the grains of tea or coffee left in the bottom of
a glass and had, on several occasions, predicted someone's death. On one occasion, Nancy
saw stars falling and ran into the house. Upon everyone reassuring her that the stars were
indeed NOT falling, she told them that someone in her family was going to die. Her son,
Leonard, fell under a train and was killed at the gravel plant where he worked. This
happened at the old gravel plant in Pacific across from the Pennsylvania Glass and Sand
plant where my dad, Andrew Amelung, worked (on Osage Street just east of town near
where the old ice plant stood).
160
Her daughter, Marcella, seemed to have the same gift as she had a premonition about Lois'
fiancée many years earlier and asked him not to go to work. He was run over by a train at
the very same gravel plant where Leonard was run over. Marcella had also seen or dreamt
strange things the night before a death including her husband's death and her sister's.
I've spoken with one other currently living relative who also has this same gift.

Notes for Andrew "Drew" Vincent Irwin:
The Miller County Autogram Newspaper, Tuscumbia, Missouri, Thursday, December 9, 1915,
Page 1.
In the case against Andrew Irwin for passing a bogus check, Irwin was convicted and
sentenced to penitentiary for two years; application was made for a parole. (This could be
the son, Andrew Irwin).
Andrew "Drew" Irwin and Nancy Ann Mahala Thornton were never married but had three
children together (Andrew Irwin, William Wesley Thornton, and Stella Agnes Thornton).
Drew's mother was a midwife and delivered the three children. My mom said that Drew
Irwin and Nancy Thornton were second cousins, but I haven't found any proof of this at all
and I've got both lines researched pretty far back.

Notes for Green Berry Ash:
Green Berry first shows up in the 1880 Miller County Census records (Glaize Township)
indicating that he was 5 years old and his father was born in North Carolina. Although it is
not documented, family stories have indicated that his father was Frank Rodden. I noticed
with his brother Everet O., who was only 3 years older, that his father was also born in
North Carolina. This makes be wonder if they were both fathered by Frank Rodden. Their
mother never married their fathers.
My mother told me an interesting tidbit about Green Ash. It seems that he was a bit of a
"mama's boy" and even after he had married Nancy Thornton, he didn't stay at their house
all the time. He'd go back home and stay with his mother, Elizabeth Ash. Elizabeth had
inherited a lot of land from her father, Samuel Ash, and all her children had houses built on
her land so none of them lived far away. Green had several half brothers, my mom 'thinks'
there might have been six in all, but he was apparently his mother's favorite. Although
Green didn't seem to show any interest in working, his wife Nancy would cut railroad ties to
make money for the family. She said it was easier work than ironing and cleaning for other
people which was her other option. It is rumored that Green's brothers burned down his
house in order to drive him away from the area. At least that was what Green had always
thought. After his house burned down, Green and Nancy moved to Sullivan and finally to
Pacific, Missouri in Franklin County. While in Pacific, Green worked for the railroad.

391. Cora Belle6 Thornton (William Shelton5, Milton Owen4, Felix3, John2, Thomas1) was
born June 06, 1879 in Schuyler County, Illinois1023, and died June 04, 1958 in Astoria, Fulton
County, Illinois. She married (1) John Waters June 13, 1896 in Schuyler County, Illinois1024,
son of James Waters and Anna Noonan. He was born March 1876 in Michigan 1025,1026,1027, and
died 1966 in Schuyler County, Illinois. She married (2) William Edward Winston March 02,
1899 in New Port, Arkansas, son of Solomon Winston and Mary Bennett. He was born
January 29, 1873 in Bader, Schuyler County, Illinois1028, and died February 12, 1940 in
Astoria, Fulton County, Illinois1029.
Notes for Cora Belle Thornton:
Cora Belle Thornton's marriage to John Waters was brief having married him on June 13,
1896 whereupon he then married Frances Edna Harris, two years later, on November 24,
1898. Both marriages occured in Schuyler County, Illinois. I suspect John has a third
marriage since the 1900 census shows John and Edna with a child Anna born in May 1894.
Edna is only 20 and married for one year, therefore, the child is not hers unless she gave
birth at age 14 and out of wedlock. I have no idea who the third wife could be. Also, Cora
Belle Waters had two children before she married William Edward Winston but after her first
husband had remarried. Are these children fathered by William Edward Winston? They
have his last name.

Baptist Hospital, Sullivan, Franklin County, Missouri1102,1103.
Notes for William Milton "Jack" Littrell:
William Milton Littrell could not read or write and it is believed it was due to dyslexia. His
World War I Draft Registration shows his mark confirming he could not write. Whether it
was due to his inability to write or another reason, William changed his last name to Littrell.
I remember my grandparents always walked everywhere and didn't have a car. The town of
Pacific is small and it was easy for them to get around. Grandpa would always cut grass
around town which ultimately led to his death. He was struck in the side by a flying rusty
nail which led to a blood clot while he was in the hospital. The Dam at Lake of the Ozarks
180
covers the place where he use to live as a child. My mother also told me that his autopsy
indicated he had diabetes (which no one was aware of) and had, at one time, suffered from
consumption (Tuberculosis).
My mom also mentioned that he, his parents, and all his brothers and sisters had blue eyes
with light to dark brown hair.

Notes for Stella Agnes Thornton:
There is a question as to who is the father of Stella Agnes Thornton. It had been believed
that Green Berry Ash was the father and that he married her mother two and one-half years
after her birth. However, new information has surfaced indicating that she was fathered by
Andrew "Drew" Irwin. Apparently, Louis Thornton's daughter, Delsie Remenda (Thornton)
Godfrey, had visited her aunt Nancy just before she died and was called to her bedside
181
whereupon Nancy stated that she had given birth to two boys from Andrew Irwin (Andrew &
Bill) and that Stella was also Drew's child. Delsie stated that she would swear that her aunt
had told her that. Until this time, Nancy had always told everyone that Stella's father was
Green Berry Ash. I was told that after Nancy found religion and started going to church, she
destroyed any documents showing Stella was illegitimate.
Stella Thornton, didn't care much for Green Berry and went by Thornton (her mother's
maiden name) and never took the name of Ash even after her mother had married and
urged her to do so. She used Thornton as her maiden name on all documents except for the
birth certificate of her daughter, Norma. On Norma's birth certificate, Nancy, Stella's
mother, gave the information, rather than herself, and she gave the name of Stella Ash. My
mom told me that her mother had always thought she might be an Irwin since all of the
children by Green Berry Ash were blonde haired and blue eyed and she was brown hair,
brown eyed - just like the two boys by Drew Irwin.
I was told that Green Berry Ash would always run off Stella's boyfriends until William M.
Littrell came along. He was hard-headed and couldn't be chased off. He was also related
and apparently you don’t run off relatives.
Stella Thornton attended Warren School in Miller County, Missouri and finished 7th and 8th
grade at Sullivan, Franklin County, Missouri.

Notes for Stella Agnes Thornton:
There is a question as to who is the father of Stella Agnes Thornton. It had been believed
that Green Berry Ash was the father and that he married her mother two and one-half years
after her birth. However, new information has surfaced indicating that she was fathered by
Andrew "Drew" Irwin. Apparently, Louis Thornton's daughter, Delsie Remenda (Thornton)
Godfrey, had visited her aunt Nancy just before she died and was called to her bedside
whereupon Nancy stated that she had given birth to two boys from Andrew Irwin (Andrew &
Bill) and that Stella was also Drew's child. Delsie stated that she would swear that her aunt
had told her that. Until this time, Nancy had always told everyone that Stella's father was
Green Berry Ash. I was told that after Nancy found religion and started going to church, she
destroyed any documents showing Stella was illegitimate.
Stella Thornton, didn't care much for Green Berry and went by Thornton (her mother's
maiden name) and never took the name of Ash even after her mother had married and
urged her to do so. She used Thornton as her maiden name on all documents except for the
birth certificate of her daughter, Norma. On Norma's birth certificate, Nancy, Stella's
mother, gave the information, rather than herself, and she gave the name of Stella Ash. My
mom told me that her mother had always thought she might be an Irwin since all of the
children by Green Berry Ash were blonde haired and blue eyed and she was brown hair,
brown eyed - just like the two boys by Drew Irwin.
I was told that Green Berry Ash would always run off Stella's boyfriends until William M.
Littrell came along. He was hard-headed and couldn't be chased off. He was also related
and apparently you don’t run off relatives.
Stella Thornton attended Warren School in Miller County, Missouri and finished 7th and 8th
grade at Sullivan, Franklin County, Missouri.
More About Stella Agnes Thornton:
Burial: September 19, 1994, Sunset Memorial Cemetery, Pacific, Missouri (Franklin
County)1209,1210
Cause of Death: Old Age (Age 95)
Medical Information: Stella (Thornton) Littrell had brown eyes.1211
Religion: Baptist
Notes for William Milton "Jack" Littrell:
William Milton Littrell could not read or write and it is believed it was due to dyslexia. His
World War I Draft Registration shows his mark confirming he could not write. Whether it
was due to his inability to write or another reason, William changed his last name to Littrell.
I remember my grandparents always walked everywhere and didn't have a car. The town of
Pacific is small and it was easy for them to get around. Grandpa would always cut grass
195
around town which ultimately led to his death. He was struck in the side by a flying rusty
nail which led to a blood clot while he was in the hospital. The Dam at Lake of the Ozarks
covers the place where he use to live as a child. My mother also told me that his autopsy
indicated he had diabetes (which no one was aware of) and had, at one time, suffered from
consumption (Tuberculosis).
My mom also mentioned that he, his parents, and all his brothers and sisters had blue eyes
with light to dark brown hair.

Notes for Everett "Coot" Oliver Ash:
When Everett was younger, he cut off several fingers while chopping wood. His mother,
Nancy, put turpentine on it and immediately wrapped his hand up in cob webs (lots of cob
webs). I'm not sure if he was able to save any fingers with this method but I do know that
he lost at least 2 fingers. He also walked with a limp although my mom wasn't sure what
caused the limp.

Both seemed to have premonitions when someone close was going to die. For instance,
Marcella, knew when her sister, Lois, had died, she had dreamt that she saw her sister on a
cloud waving goodbye to her and then she disappeared. Marcella found out the next day
that her sister had indeed died from food poisoning, although the family believed
otherwise. Rumors were that she was poisoned since her husband wanted to marry another
girl, who by the way, he married two weeks later. On an earlier occasion, Marcella had
warned her sister Lois' fiancée not to go to work one day. She just had a feeling something
bad was going to happen. He was also run over by a train while crossing the tracks at the
Gravel Plant in Pacific where he also worked This was the same place where their brother
Leonard had been run over by a train. The last known premonition was when Marcella had
seen a man standing in a doorway wearing very old style nickers. Upon mentioning it to her
husband, Jesse Moege, he saw nothing and when she turned back, the man was gone. Her
husband died the next day.
My mother also mentioned a story that Marcella told her not long before she died when my
mother and aunt went up to visit her. It seems that when Marcella was a little girl and her
199
mother made a fire to make lye soap (they used a big pot and cooked it outside), Marcella
would start dancing around the fire and chanting. Nancy finally prayed to God that if she
went to church could he please make Marcella stop doing this. Well, she became a churchgoer and sure enough, Marcella stopped and never did it ever again.

Nathaniel Thornton is estimated assuming that the was at least 18 when he was a witness on Thomas
Thornton's land purchase of 15 March 1755 (DB 2, Pg. 288) and when he purchased land from Samuel Eldridge
on 2 April 1760 (Sampson-Duplin County, DB 3, Pg. 90).
4. Sampson County Census Records, For Nathaniel Thornton to be age 45 or older in 1810, and age 26 to 44
in 1800, he would have to be born between 1756 - 1765.
5. Notes & Comments: Marcine Lohman, 11285 Deerfield Drive, Firestone, CO 80504-5504,
marcinelohman@comcast.net, "In 1800 the only Nathaniel Thornton shown on the census records was born
circa 1756-1774 which is much too young to be the same Nathaniel who witnessed deeds in 1755 and 1760. I
am "assuming" that the earlier Nathaniel is deceased at least by 1800 and I’m thinking before 1790. The age
given on the 1790 census indicates that Nathaniel was born before 1774 which would fit both Nathaniel’s,
241
however, with 4 males under age 16 (born circa 1774-1790) and only 1 male over age 16, it seems to lean more
towards the younger Nathaniel born circa 1756-1765."
6. Duplin County, North Carolina, Thomas Thornton, Jr. date of birth estimated assuming he was at least 21

Thornton (b. July 22, 1857) has Elizabeth Floyd listed as her mother on her death certificate, she was actually
the daughter of Judith Ann Luttrell who died in 1858. Her father, Milton Owen Thornton, remarried to
Elizabeth Elender Floyd on January 18, 1860 when Sarah was only 2 1/2 years old. This is confirmed by
Elizabeth (Floyd) Luttrell on the 1900 and 1910 census records where she indicates she had 8 children - four
