Johnston co. NC, Wayne co. NC Thornton ? line somehow help
I have been hearing for the past 20 years that Samuel Thornton was married 3 times. I only have 2 wives, Ava Hester Raynor, and Jane BUT a Boyett "jack" I think tells me he had 3. The first wife is his line. He does not remember how though.
The Thornton "Samuel was b. 1828 d. 1912 at Harper House Johnston co. BUT I don't know where he lived when he was younger. His father David Thornton lived in Wayne co. "owned land there".Ava Hester Raynor m. in 1850's I think had children late 1850's so he could of married early on.I don't even know what name connects the Thornton's to Boyett??this is a long shot I know.
Thanks,
Gail
