CHESHIRE / MIDDLESEX THORNTONS

According to Richard T. Fox, "the Thornton surname is said to have originated when the township of Thornton-le-Moors, near Chester in the county of Cheshire, was granted to Peter le Clerc Secretary to Randle Blundville, Earl of Chester. The grant was made by Richard de Aldford, Lord of the fee, of which Thornton was a part. Exactly why the grant was made is not known. The grant was made prior to 1150.

The name of Peter le Clerc's wife is not recorded. He did have issue. A daughter Agnes and a son Randle, who assumed the name Randle le Roter de Thornton, were both born in Thornton Parish, near Chester. Randle was also godson of Randle, Earl of Chester. Randle Thornton was probably born about 1150 and died before 28 Henry III (1243 A.D.). He had wed Amicia de Kingsley, who survived him.

Randle le Roter de Thornton and his wife Amicia had four children; Sir Peter le Roter de Thornton, Celia, Randle and Richard. Peter was born about 1176 and Cecilia about 1178. The birth dates of Randle and Richard are not known. Peter, as eldest son, succeded to his father's estate. peter did have issue but neither of his sons qualify as our ancestor since one died without grandchild male issue, and the other changed his name to Richard le Roter de Kingsley. Remaining candidates are two ancestors, Randle, who was Rector of Thornton Parish in the 52nd year of the reign of Henry III (1267 A.D.) and his brother Richard. But, since Randle was a Rector (of Roman Faith), it is improbable he ever married and so is not a likely ancestor.

From 1267 to the late 1400's the line of this descent is not known. However, in about 1472 the same family arms (with a different crest) appears in Middlesex, near London, in the person of John Thornton. John was said to have been a servant to Margaret, Countess of Richmond, and mother of King Henry. From that time until the mid-1600's, when Henry Thornton emigrated to Virginia, this lineage is well documented.

Most of the early lineage of the Thorntons is extracted from "The Ancestry of Jane Thornton of Spartanburg, S.C." by Dr. Ariel L. Crowley. Dr. Crowley was meticulous regarding references and research, and I consider his account authoritative for all practical purposes. Dr. Crowley's work carries this Thornton line down to about 1800 in Virginia."

James Thornton, his wife Martha Roister and three sons traveled in covered wagons along the railroad and brought their families and parents. The Thornton families settled just south of Lone Oak on adjoining farms only about seven miles apart. Their father built his house in the center of the land, and his sons' houses bordered on the corners. The three brothers (and most likely their father, James) were Masons. They transferred their membership to Shiloh Lodge No. 307 around 1867. Besides farming around Lone Oak they also raised cattle.

The three Thornton brothers, William L., Joseph and James were railroad builders, farmers, ranchers, conservationists, productive citizens and Masons, and were all affectionately referred to as 'Uncle' in the community, known as Hooker, just a few miles south of Lone Oak, Hunt County, Texas.'
