Bobbie, Wanted to reply this time, to the list and if you know the answer maybe it will help others too. I was posting the reply to the Cook-Garrard query, (which had the Fanning family in the reply, from Carole Hedger). I said that Rev. Jesse Graham and his wife Martha Fanning Graham were from Jackson Co., AL. I also, should have said that Martha Fanning Graham and Middleton Fanning, II, were siblings. But, the question I have for you, since your related to the Thornton's, is.. Do you know who the Martha Thornton and Elizabeth Thornton girls are, that married the sons of Rev. Jesse ? They were Ozias Denton and Curtis Beason Graham. Just realized the connection when I went to look at my data base for the Graham-Fanning lines..
