Biography
Research Notes
The following is the research of Linda Sellers Chrisman. Rosannah (born about 1855-and died between 1875 and 1879) married Josiah Blackwell/Benjamin Thornton (4 Oct. 1850- 25 Nov. 1896). (I've seen his name listed both ways. I think it was Blackwell because his mother was Delita Blackwell who married John "Jack" Thornton.) Rosannah Sellers and J. B. Thornton had one son John Franklin Thornton (1875-1948). He married Missouri "Zula" Josephine Ashley (1878-1957). They had three daughters: Hettie Rose, Eunice E., and Mattie Edith. After Rosannah died, J. B. remarried to Priscilla Caroline Smith (1845-1899). They had two sons: William Benjamin and Jasper W. Thornton. Bishop-4082 00:32, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
