I am researching a Samuel Thornton and noticed Samuel Thornton and Robert Thornton in the Chester co Warrant Registers. Does anyone have knowledge of the Thorntons? My Thorntons ended up in Conestoga Manor, Lancaster co PA with Theophilus Simonton and his son Theophilus Simonton; with Samuel Thornton; Andrew Allison and Thomas Allison. The Allisons may have lived in Chester co PA, before coming to Lancaster co. Samuel Thornton was born in 1712, Clare County, Ireland, married Mary Simonton, (born abt 1718, Tyrone, N. Ireland) a daughter of Theophilus Simonton I and wife Mary Smith Simonton. Samuel Thornton moved with everyone to then Rowan co NC, now Iredell co NC, and then they moved to Abbeville co SC, where he died 13 June 1797.
