• Notes

  "Historical Southern Families", Volume XII. Copyright 1968 by Mrs.John Bennett Boddie. Pages 1-89. 975 D2b. Luke2 Thornton Jr. was probably the oldest son, born abt 1676.... died in Richmond Co. in 1718...The only clue to the maiden name of Margaret. wife of Luke2 Thornton, is that perhaps she was a daughter of Thomas James of Richmond Co., who on April 5, 1704 made a deed of a gift of a cow and a yearling to William Thornton, son of Luke Thornton, Jr. (D.B. 3, p. 125). William Thornton may very well have been Thomas James' grandson, and the names of other probable sons of Luke, Jr. and Margaret Thornton, mentioned below, namely, James Thornton and Thomas Thornton, fit in with this hypothesis. In default of other evidence, and since there is a brief mention of a Margaret James in 1696 in the Richmond Co. records (O. B. 2, p. 184), are perhaps warranted in assuming that she was the daughter of Thomas James. This Thomas James was born about 1645-6, as he gave his age as 36 years in a deposition Mar. 1, 1681 (Sweeney "Wills of Rappahannock Co.", p. 85).... (page 5) Look in pages 6 -7 for his 4 sons William, James, Luke, and Thomas
