Thornton of Richmond County, Virginia
Henry1 Thornton may have been a younger brother of Luke Thornton and William1 Thornton, treated in Parts One and Two. He was probably born about 1660-65, as his son Roger was born in 1686, and died in Richmond Co. , Va. between 1695, when he was granted land in Richmond Co. (see D. B. 8, p. 375, deed of his son, Roger Thornton), and 1703, when his wife, Ann, was married (2) to James Debord, and mentioned as Ann Debord in her mother's will. Henry Thornton and his wife Anne had only one recorded child, Roger Thornton, who was born June 17, 1686 (Northfarnham Parish Reg.). The widow, Anne Thornton, married (2) James Debord, and in a deposition Oct. 5, 1727, as Ann Deboard wife of James Deboard", gave her age as 60 years, so born 1667 (Richmond Co. Acct. Bk. No. 1, p. 15). She was the daughter of Roger Williams and wife Joan of Rappahannock Co. Roger Williams died in Rappahannock Co. in 1677. His will, dated Feb.26, 1675/6 and probated June 6, 1677 (Sweeney "Wills of Rappahannock Co.", p. 52), mentions his sons Roger and Shadrack, his wife Joane, and his eldest daughter, Betty Williams. The widow, Joan Williams, married (2) Lewis Loyd, who died in Rappahannock Co. in 1690. The will of Lewis Loyd, dated April 24, 1687 and probated Nov. 5, 1690 (Sweeney, p. 137), leaves small bequests to his grandchild Ann Phillips, to "Henry Thornton's son Roger Thornton", and to Elizabeth Phillips; mentions his daughter-in-law, Ruth Williams; and leaves the bulk of his property to the widow, Joan. Joan Williams Loyd died in Richmond Co., Va. early in 1704. The will of Joan Loyd, dated Jan. 8, 1703/4, and probated Feb. 2, 1703/4, mentions her daughter Susannah Phillips, wife of William Phillips; son Shadrack Williams; daughter Ann Debord wife of James Debord; daughter Ruth Canterbury, wife of John Canterbury; granddaughter Elizabeth Thornhill; daughter-in-law Elizabeth Williams; son-in-law, George Thompson; granddaughter Susan Phillips; grandson John McDaniell; son-in-law William Phillips; sons-in-law John Canterbury and George Thompson (Richmond Co. Wills, 1699-1709). From the above wills, the children of Roger and Joan Williams were as follows: (1) Roger Williams, mentioned in his father's will, but apparently died young;
(2) Betty Williams, called eldest daughter in her father's will, married either a Thornhill or George Thompson; (3) Ann Williams, b. 1667, m. (1) Henry Thornton and (2) James Debord; (4) Susannah Williams m. William Phillips, and had daughters Ann, Elizabeth and Susan mentioned in the wills; (5) Ruth Williams m.
