Correction to my information:
Mary 14 (injured in the building collapse that killed her sister Josephine. Later married John E Thornton and had son John Wesley born 1871, Edward 1873, Frederic 1879, and daughters Minnie born 1874 and Nancy born 1876)
Further investigation shows that the person who contributed this family information may have combined two different Thornton families, and the last 4 children listed may not be correct. I regret any problems this may have caused.
Sincerely,
Fran Bolton
