Notes

Pressley Wren THORNTON
June 22, 1813–July 14, 1883
This is the son of David Thornton identified as "Preston W"
or as "Preseley W" of Calhoun County, MS, in the estate papers p
249, p 432.  Presley was probably born in Franklin County, GA.
Thoren's Family Tree asserts that "in most records he is known
as P.R. Thornton."  He married Eleanor Duke (d  March 20, 1885)
and they moved to Yalabusha County, MS, where both are buried in
the Turkey Creek Cemetery, Pine Valley, MS. the cemetery is
actually located just across the line in Calhoun rather than in
Yalabusha County.
Presley and Eleanor had ten children:
a.  John Marshall Thornton, May 7, 1835–
b.  William Henry Thornton, February 1837–
c.  Wiley D. Thornton, ca 1839–
d.  Presley Wren Thornton Jr., August 8, 1841–
e.  David Thornton
f.   Robert Thornton
g.  Mary Elizabeth Thornton
h.  James Presley Thornton, Aug 16, 1852–Sept 17, 1935

On October 29, 1867, David Thornton, 84 years of age, died in
Fayette County, Alabama.  On November 16, 1867, his grandson,
P.W. Thornton, was appointed as the administrator of his
estate, a situation made more complicated because David died
"Intestate" — without a will.
