Unfortunately, this is not the same Charlie Thornton. The one I've been looking into is Charlie F. Thornton, buried with both his wives at New Hope Baptist Church in Lightwood. I've since discovered (with help) census entries confirming that his father is James G. Thornton. Having said that, the Charlie F. Thornton I've been looking into is not known to be related to me, but is instead related via marriage to some of my relatives. I've been looking on their behalf, and in the hopes that it might lead to my own Thornton connections. My GG Grandmother was Eugenia Thornton, who lived in or near Tallassee in1880. So I'm interested in Thornton connections that I might be able to tie to her. Her parentage is a complete brick wall for me. Thanks, = Steve =
