    • THORNTON INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT KNOWN PARENTS

      An analysis of my Thornton family research reveals that there where four individuals with a calculated birth date, or an actual baptism date between the years 1718 and 1723. The parents of these individuals are unknown. Their details follow:

      Thomas Thornton (RIN 17469) cal birth date 1718. He married Hannah Alder on 19 Mar 1738 in Saint Joseph. His birth date is calculated from his marriage date.

      Richard Thornton (RIN 17497) baptized 24 Jul 1719, in Saint Joseph. Parents not detailed in the baptism record.

      Mercy Thornton (RIN 17574) baptized 1 Sep 1722, in Saint Joseph. Parents not detailed in the baptism record.

      Sebastain Thornton (RIN 91559) cal birth date 1723. He married Mary (?) on date and place. His birth date is calculated from his marriage date.

      Because of the closeness of their birth dates and that they all have a direct association to Saint Joseph parish, the assumption at this point is that they may be siblings sharing the same parents.
