ZUMWALT (Texas and Oklahoma) ..................MYRTLE BELL THORNTON (1884-1971) + CHARLES FERRIL PERRY ...................MADISON HENRY THORNTON (1886-1959) ...................BURT THRONTON (?) I have definitely identified Memory and Polly Thornton in bible and census records for Elebert County. Myrtle Bell Thornton was my grandmother and she was born in DeSoto County, MS. I believe some or all of the family may have migrated to MS. I have more details on some of the these Thorntons of Elbert County and am happy to exchange with anyone with a similar interest. Thanks.
