Maude Gertrude Thornton was born January 14, 1887, to William Virgil and Maggie Campbell Thornton (see William Virgil Thornton entry). She was the granddaughter of James Allen Thornton and great-granddaughter of Robert Benton Thornton, pioneering Thornton brothers who arrived in southern Kentucky in 1849. On May 18, 1907 in Sumner County, Tennessee, Maude married Dock Jones, son of Sydney Jefferson and Margaret Thornton Jones. They had eight children: Clarence Noel, Lucian E., Carl, Howard Burnice, Albert Franklin, Alvin Leon, Harry C. and Marvin. Maude Jones died on January 23, 1951, in Nashville, Tennessee. In the above photograph, courtesy of the Jones family genealogy, Maude is pictured with her daughter-in-law, Tenito Crouch Jones.
Clarence Noel Jones was born March 27, 1917. He married Tenito Crouch (pictured above with Maude). In the above photo, Clarence is in Burma (current, Myanmar) in 1943, during World War II. After returning from war, Tenito and Clarence raised their family in southern Kentucky. They had five children: Clarence, Jennifer, James, Howard, and Michael. Clarence died on January 1, 1978.

James Allen Thornton is my Great Great Great Great Grandfather :) I come from the (Velma, Joe Herschel, James Allen, William) line! So I guess that makes me a 8th generation cousin :)

Maude Gertrude is my grandmother. I am the daughter of Lucian and Lois Settles Jones. My father was a silver star recipient in WWII. We have pictures of him. How do we add them to this website?
Greetings, Linda, I'm terribly sorry for not getting back to you sooner: I am living in Afghanistan, so maintaining the blog on a daily basis has become rather difficult. I would love any information and photos you may be willing to post to the blog. Also, I don't think I have all of Lucian's descendants. Please, send any info, pictures, and updates to thorntonsoky@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Will
