Sarah has been detached as the wife of John Thornton. There is no credible evidence of Sarah Thurston's marriage to anyone, including John. This is an internet fabrication, repeated many times in personal family trees copying from each other. Please do not reattach her to John Thornton.

Since there has been no response to the previous comments, I've detached Sarah as John Thornton's wife.

I've seen no credible evidence that John Thornton's wife's surname was Thurston. Sarah Thurston's marriage to John appears to be an internet fabrication and found its way here when the information was uploaded from a personal family tree. If someone knows of a credible source for identifying Mrs. Thornton as Sarah Thurston, or an origin for the claim other than personal family trees (such as those uploaded to familysearch.org, ancestry.com, rootsweb, etc.) please post, otherwise the connection should be severed.
