Hi Nancy, The trouble with this genealogy stuff is that without documentation its hard to be absolutely sure of the facts. I have information about an estate settlement that list Mary Elizabeth Thornton as an heir of Seth Thornton. I have it that Mary was married to Luke Wood in 1832 Wilson Co, Tn. Another researcher in this line (Charles Richard Craig) is a descendant of Mary and Luke. Let me know if this helps. I will be glad to swap data. I found this query (scroll down) on the RootsWeb Thornton list from 1998. I don't think I have ever managed to contact her but you might give it a try. Let me know if you do. Your cousin?

They are buried in Storms Cemetery near Short Creek, Ky. Information that was passed to me indicated that Polly was the daughter of a Perry Thornton and Calpurnia Cicero Poe. However, work by a fellow researcher indicate that Polly may have been the daughter of a Seth Thornton, who lived in Wilson County, Tenn. Does anyone have any knowledge about this line? Thanks, Donna S. in Henderson, Ky.
