Son of Capt. Charles Thornton and Sarah Ann Fitzhugh.

m: Mary Taliaferro.

Children of Charles Fitzhugh Thornton and Mary Taliaferro are:

1: Reuben T. Thornton, died in Vernon County, MO.
2: Charles Hubbard Thornton, born 1815 in Kentucky; married Harriet Drake in Mo..

The following was sent by descendent Karen Trient, with thanks:

"I have been to visit the gravesite of Charles Fitzhugh in Oldham County, Kentucky and there was also a gravestone of his father Capt. Charles Thornton who left Caroline County, Virginia to homestead in Kentucky. The "graveyard" is tiny and consists of maybe five or six stones around a huge tree. It sits at the end of a county road (looks like you would be driving into someone's farm, but apparently it is a legitimate road. It is beautiful there. It sits high on a knoll and overlooks thousands of acres of rolling blue grass horse farms. It is just called the Thornton cemetery but I found it by stopping at a Chamber of Commerce in the little village of Goshen, Kentucky which was just north of Louisville."
