Biography
Ann LNU was born about 1655. She married Colonel Francis Thornton on or after 1709. Ann died after 3 Feb 1726/7 the date she presented the inventory of her husband, Francis Thornton's to the King George County Court.[1]
Research Notes
Her maiden name was almost certainly not Riding, since her husband Francis Thornton left a legacy to "George Riding the son of my Wife Anne Thornton" in his 1726 will, [2]
