to Leslie in Lockhart TX mailto:[email protected] I have copied your request and will be mailing to you shortly. Unfortunately, the citation you gave me just mentions Andrew DARWIN as a stockraiser in the area. I did some more checking and found him in the History of San Joaquin Valley qc979.4 G9hc by Guinn 1905 p1245. Highlights: Andrew Mitchell DARWIN was one of the earliest settlers in Fresno. He was born in Jackson County TN, the son of James DARWIN, a farmer. Andrew crossed the plains in 1852 to CA, locating at Millerton in Fresno County. Because of ill health, in 1875 he moved to Santa Rosa where he died in 1890 at the age of 69 years. He is interred in the Santa Rosa Cemetery. In Visalia, Nov 28 1867 he married Martha J. PATTERSON, and they had one daughter, Addie Cole, who died at the age of 2. After which they adopted a daughter, Georgia, wife of Mr. William H. BRYAN. >From 1870 census DARWIN, Andrew M. 49 TN Fresno Millertown PO 72 185

Some of you may be interested in an article in the SF Chronicle published today, Oct 28, 2001 on Edan Milton Hughes, the author who is writing a history of Artists in California. You can find it at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/10/28 /CM195175.DTL If you have anyone you know who might fit into his book list, be sure to contact me. I have been trying to research some of these artists for Mr. Hughes for about two years. The stories in this article alone are fascinating. Sandra

Hi, all - Could someone tell me where the older (1895-1900) land deeds for Fresno County are held, whether they are indexed as to grantor/grantee, and whether they are accessible to researchers? Gaylord

I do not recognize any of the other surnames, but that does not mean much as my Dad was not very close to his family. His mother was Alice Almeada Dewey, her father was Henry Charles Dewey, came from Canada about 1872 via Minnisota where henry lost his wife in child birth. Anyway, odd that they were all from Canada. My dad, Earl Thomas Brooke was born in Lemoore in 1891, he had one sister Edna that had no children. Well, I will try to keep in touch. In case you ever find where the Dewey first name comes from, it would be interesting to see if there is a connection. I know there was someone in the family who married a Roberts. Will look it up when I get home to the states in February. Alice

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Thornton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GW.2ADE/155.163 Message Board Post: Dear Michael: I would be interested to know if you have found the link. Here is what I have on my search. My great grandfather was Elbert Charlton Thornton. He had 2 sisters, Adelaide and Orra. He also had one brother, Jesse John Thornton who was born in NE on 5/1/1869 and died in Los Angeles 9/30/1943. My grandfather was married to Anna Edna Hoyt in Los Angeles in 1899. The moved from LA to Kern County, somewhat near Fresno. It seems that a lot of Thorntons did come west after the Civil War. My branch, according to family legend, were from the Confederate. Somehow they ended up in Missouri, where I understand many stayed. Some joined the James' Gang and headed to Texas and some went to work with the railroad. Again according to legend I am a result of the last two. My father, Carl Jesse Thornton was born in Kern County 6/15/1913. He and my grandfather worked on the Southern Pacific. It seems there was a great migration right after the Civil War to the west working with the railroad. I believe this is the short term Nebraska connection because they sure didn't stay very long. I also have a picture of A.W. Thornton. I believe he must be a cousin. It is in Arizona. He had a wife with the last name Rossi and only one child at that point named Mildred. I believe this could be the Santa Fe Trail connection. My father had one brother named Elbert "Red" Thornton, born around 1902 and one sister, Almyra "Myra" Thornton Gardiner. They both had many kids up and down the San Joaquin Valley. I hope this helps and if you have anything that can help me please let me know. My father married very late in life so all my cousins were old enough to be my parents and many of their kids were even older than me. So there never was a close connection. Regards, Penny Thornton Kaloudis
