Marshall Thornton (1847-1926), son of Thomas Thornton, married Lucy K. Jackson (1857-) of Ontario. I believe they married in 1877. They farmed in Clarke township and then in the Woodstock area, where I believe Franklin Thornton also lived. Marshall and Lucy had 3 children:
- Mable Lillian Thornton (1877-)
- Effin May Thornton (1878-)
- Mary Hazel Irene Thornton (1886-)
In 1891 Lucy is living alone with her children and I am unable to find any of the family after that. Did Marshall die at a young age, perhaps around 1890? Ah! I have now learned that Marshall and Lucy moved to the Waterton area of South Dakota. Are either of the men below Marshall?
For a photo of a woman who may be Marshall’s wife Lucy go to Franklin Thornton.
