Thornton was James and Mary's oldest son, and the dates fit the "stuff" I already have. Thanks very much. Now, to find Abigail. If I have her placed correctly, her husband, Eli, died in Columbia County, Pennsylvania in 1852. I'm still hypothesising here, but the pieces seem to be fitting together. Thanks!
