Biography

Anne THORNTON was born 22 Mar 1689 in Virginia, daughter of Frances Thornton and Alice Savage.^[1][2] She is identified as one of Francis Thornton's children in his bible.^[3] Anne married Charles Morgan Sr.^[2] Anne died after 1766, assuming the "wife Anne" mentioned in Charles Morgan's 1766 will is not another woman named Anne. Otherwise, she may have died as early as 1726 since she is not named in her father Francis Thornton's 1726 will.
