Thornton of Richmond Co., VA, by John Bennett Boddie. This article covers the five Thornton families who were
resident in Richmond Co., Va. and the nearby counties of Gloucester and Lancaster in the
latter part of the 17th Century. The first of these families is William Thornton of
Gloucester Co., with the other four families being those of Luke, William and Henry
Thornton of Richmond Co. and Dr. Thomas Thornton of Lancaster Co., Va. It is not
uncommon to see a genealogy book reference Boddie.

Thornton Marriages - Do you ever get tired
of having to search lots of different sites just to get a little bit of information from each? Well, I've created an index grouped by state then county for all the various Thornton marriages I've found in my research and thought I'd share it here so you can find it all in one spot!
Thornton Taxpayers - I have included Thornton, Lee, and Blackman tax indexes here for anyone to use. This helps to show where the Thornton's were in North Carolina at certain times.
