Surnames: THORNTON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VlB.2ACE/989 Message Board Post: Does anyone have any information about the Thornton families that came from Mississippi? They seem to have all come at about the same time, but I don't know if they were related. If you do, is there anything about what counties they came from and ages? Specifically, I'm trying to find information about my ggggrandfather, father to William Auston in around 1884. Should have his name in a few days, will repost then.
