Welcome to our Thornton family
In this blog we attempt to create a visual history of a main southern Kentucky Thornton branch, descended from Scots-Irish Thorntons who may have arrived in Pennsylvania in the mid-1700s. If your goal is to check whether or not you or a family member are listed in our genealogy file, the first eight posts contain more than 1,500 names, listed generationally. Use the 'find' command to scroll through the material...Good luck.

Do you know what roll Fred Alton played in WWII?
No, only that he enlisted Jan. 5, 1944, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was listed as living in Bernalillo at the time, married, and a laborer.
My father was Eugene Wendell Thornton of Veneta Oregon. My cousin received a letter from you dated august 2011 which is fantastic. I have 2 brothers Steven Craig Thornton of Chahalis Washington and Ronald Gene Thornton of Eugene Oregon; Steve was Married to Jackie Frost; later divorced; married to Nelda; Steve and Jackie had 2 boys Craig Allen and Cory Jay; Ronnie had a boy and a girl Kimberly and Scott; Craig is deceased; Cory lives in SF and Kim and Scott live if the Portland Oregon area. I live in Eugene Oregon and married no kids. I hope to hear from you. Thank you for all you work on the family line...Sincerly Jill Lynette Thornton- jpboss2000@hotmail.com
Lucian Jones (son of Gertrude Maude Thornton and Dock Jones) was my father. He was a silver star recipient in WWII. He served in the US Navy in the South Pacific.
