Subject: THORNTONS, EARHARTS AFRICAN AMERICAN From: Maggie Ponds Date: November 06, 2000 Posted on: The SCRoots Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Sponsor/SCRoots/473 Surname: THORNTON, EARHART, AIRHART, HAYES ------------------------- Looking for information on ggg-grandparents James and Caroline Hayes Thornton who were in Hollow Creek Townshhip in 1870 (household #105, Family #105) and Saluda Township in 1880 (household #184, family #184) on censuses. The children were Melvin, James Snelgrove, perhaps a James Airhart; Green Thornton (married Hattie Boozer); Henry, Columbus Frank, Pearson, Julia, John, and Mary Thornton. Who were they and where were they before 1870. Who were their parents? James Airthart, Green, Columbus and Lizzie Thorton moved to Arkansas. Pearson seemed to have remained in Lexington County. Don't know what happened to the others. Any help certainly appreciated. I'm sure they were slaves. Were Hollow Creek and Saluda Townships plantation areas? What was their situation. Thank you for any and all help. Maggie Ponds ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
