Jonathan and Thirzzie Jane Thornton were married at her home in Greenfield, Weakley Co., Tennessee on 4 Nov 1881. Between 1882 and 1884 they moved to Texas, settling first in Johnson County for a while. They later moved to Palo Pinto County where they built their home about 6 miles south of Mineral Wells in the Progress Community, near what is now known as the 281 or Stephenville Hiway. It was here that they raised their family and remained for the balance of their lives. Jonathan was a farmer and owned a lot of land in the Progress community. He also owned land in New Mexico. When the crops were harvested and sold, money not needed for expenses was used to purchase more land. Jonathan & Thirzzie were always faithful to give their tithe's to the Fairview Baptist Church, which they helped organize and were charter members. Jonathan and his oldest son, Horace Greeley, helped move the church from it's first location in the Sturdivant community to it's present location in the Progress community. The Fairview Church is still active today.
