Thornton - Jefferson Co. 1810.
I am looking for a Daniel Thornton, born in Charleston, SC. in 1788. I have seen it printed as either March or October. Father John Thornton and mother "Polly". Daniel was the third of four children. The family later moved to Jefferson County, TN in about 1810.
Daniel was a private in the war of 1812 and it is after this service that the family left for MO.I believe I have seen information that Jefferson County was either merged or split up into another county.
Any information is greatly appreciated as we can't establish a link to any other generations of the Thornton line.
Thanks
