Posted on: Pulaski Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Pulaski/289 Surname: THORNTON ------------------------- Meridith Thornton is a direct decendant, being the father of my great-great-grandfather William Meredith Thornton. I have linages for the family going back as far as the late 1700's and with Meredith's parents, Thomas L. Thornton and Elizabeth (Susan?)Meredith. Will be happy to share this in either GEDCOM or Family Treemaker format or as a TXT file. I am stuck at Thomas L. Thornton and am seeking information as to his parents or those of Elizabeth Meredith. A cousin mistakenly assigned this Thornton to being the child of Anthony Thornton (III), but I discovered that was Thomas Griffin Thornton and not Thomas L.. He could possible be the son of one of the other brothers, but I have been unable to establish a positive link to either the William or Luke Thornton linages in Virginia. The 1850 census records appear to indicate that Elizabeth was not born in Virginia (as was Thomas), but possibly Maryland....the writing not being totally legible. Any help would be appreciated and I will reciprocate.
