Homer, Don't really know about the relationship of all those THORNTONs. There were not that many THORNTONs in Barbour, so they could have been related. I believe William Horatio THORNTON, married to Mary B. SHORTER had four daughters: Mary R., Laura V., Anna, and Sallie, and a son, Willie, born c. 1858. I believe he also might have had two brothers with him in 1850: Edward Q., born c. 1831, and Joseph, born c. 1847. Very sad about William dying so soon after arriving home. So many sad stories. And... I guess the best way to consider your "burials" is as a "living" document. I have hopes that facts will turn up everyday until they all are accounted for.

I had questioned, out of curiosity, if Laura V. was related to those of that line buried in the Thormton Cemetery NW of Three Notch in Bullock; two sons, Ruben C. (m. Edith Baker) and William E. (m. a Jordan, sister of William C. Jordan); they were sons of Ruben and Millie Cleveland Thornton; may have told you before, but William, Co E, 45th Ala came home from Tupelo, Miss and died about 12 hours after arrival...Sad. Still finding Barbour Confederate burials and looks like now, will not be able to start to go final until much later this year; beginning to think I may never finish; Pike is even worse, I identify at least two every day from up there; ever finishing the 10 counties seems to be out of the question at this point. Thanks so much for the information, Deo Vindice, Homer ==== ALBARBOU Mailing List ==== Check the Macon County Ga. web site for their newspaper listings.
