Robert D. Thornton
Robert D. Thornton "Bob" was born February 19, 1924, to Jesse Benton and Mary Susan Cooper Thornton of Warren County, KY. Like his older brothers, Robert would be active in local sports: he was a regular on the Woodburn High and South Warren High School basketball teams (#77). After completing high school in 1943, he enlisted in the U.S. Marines and served during the last year and a half of World War II. Bob married Juanita Meredith, daughter of Henry and Florence Kirby Meredith, and had two children: Jana and Mike Thornton. Robert Thornton died Dec. 12, 1989.

Hello. This is a nice site you have created.
My great grandfather was James Sloan Kinnaird (sometimes spelled Kinneard.) He immigrated to Canada as an adult and married. His father was William Kinnaird, born about 1807 in County Antrim, Ireland. William Kinnaird died in 1876 in Randalstown, County Antrim -- in the ancestral home which is still there.
We have had great success over the last three decades finding our ancestors' records, but not in the case of William Kinnaird. If you think you might be related to William Kinnaird of Killnoch area in County Antrim, please contact me at pamelamaureen@hotmail.com.
Aloha,
Pamela Kinnaird Williams
