I traced Captain S. Thornton's parents back to 1857 in Minnesota.

MINNESOTA CENSUS, 21 sEPT 1857:

Reuben Thornton, 52 years, farmer, birthplace: New York
Elizabeth Thornton, 30 years; birthplace: England.
Washington County, Township #30
Estimated year of birth: 1805
Race: White
Line: 8
Roll: MN 1857_5
----------
