8th Cavalry Regiment was formed during the late summer of 1862
and mustered into Confederate service in September. The unit
fought in Kentucky, then rode with J.H. Morgan. Most of the men
were captured at Buffington Island on July 19 and a remnant at
New Lisbon on July 26, 1863. The 8th was not reorganized. Its
commanders were Colonel R.S. Cluke, Lieutenant Colonel Cicero
Coleman, and Major Robert S. Bullock.

CONFLICT: "He was from Royalty", coming from Yorkshire, England
no later than 1646, and settled in Stafford County, VA. His
plantation was called Fall Hill, located in Stafford Co., VA.,
where he was buried. Not Proven line to Royalty. "The
Thorntons were originally fair-haired Norwegian Vikings. The
family has been traced back to Firgot, about 13 generations
before Rolla. The Norse spelled Thornton as Thurston. William,
The Conqueror, from Normandy, was the great-grandson of Rolla.
William, the Conqueror, was crowned King of England in 1066."
From: [email protected] Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1999 To:

The THORNTON family of East Newton, Yorkshire, are also claimed
as the ancestors of William THORNTON (d. 1708, Stafford Co.,
VA), founder of a prominent Tidewater clan that includes, among
others, James Madison, Meriwether Lewis, and Zachary Taylor. It
is in regards to this Virginia family that claims were made
regarding the descent of Agnes ALDERBOROUGH/ALDBROUGH from
Edward I and Isabel de GRAY from King Stephen. As far as I can
tell, both claims first appeared in a book by George K. Mckenzie
titled *Colonial Families of the US.*
There are, however, a number of problems with all of these
claims. As far as I know, no one has ever really been able to
prove (i.e. document) that the immigrant William THORNTON (d.
1708, Stafford Co., VA) really belonged to this family, or if he
was a member of this family where he connects to the family.
Also, the claim of a descent from Edward I through Agnes
ALDERBOROUGH needs to be researched carefully -- it's been a
long time since I looked into it, but my recollection is that
the claim is made through the PLUMPTON, STAPELTON, GODARD, and
NEVILLE families and that there are several chronological
problems at the very least. The claims made for Isabel de GRAY
are not known to me.
If anyone has any particular interest in this THORNTON family
and the unsubtantiated claims for a connection to the East
Newton family, I'll be happy to dig through my files and see if
I can help -- just e-mail me directly rather than posting to the
entire list.

"William came to Virginia from Yorkshire, England around 1640
(not later than 1646). Termed by genealogists as "The
Immigrant." On May 11, 1646, William Thornton was in possession
of a paper recorded in York County (including Gloucester) to
care for the cattle of John Liptrot until the latter came of
age. On February 16, 1665/66 as "Mr. William Thornton" he had a
grant of 164 acres of land in Petworth Parish, Gloucester,
adjoining the land where he lived and that of Richard Barnard.
He was vestryman of Petsworth Parish in 1677.
On record in Essex is a power of attorney, dated September 1673,
from William Thornton of Gloucester, to James Kay of
Rappahannock County concerning 2,000 acres of land in the
freshes, a track of land which he had bought from Mott. There is
also recorded in Essex in 1701, a deed dated July 16, 1675, from
William Thornton of Gloucester, gentleman, to Francis and
Rowland, two of his sons, "conveying 2,000 acres in Rappahannock
County, formerly Gloucester, but now of Stafford, authorizing
the confirmation of said deed." In 1649 he received a land grant
of 164 acres in Gloucester County, the grant being awarded for
the transfer of 4 persons from England, this being one of the
first patents in Virginia (Virginia Land Patent Book 5, Page
573.) He traded in shipping on Mobjack Bay, which is across from
the present city of Norfolk, near "Weromoco," stomping ground of
Chief Powhatan, John Smith and Pocohontas fame. He operated the
ship "Mary Jane" in shipping to Barbados, West Indies.
He died in 1708 at the home of his son, Col. Francis Thornton,
in Stafford County, and it is stated that his tombstone bears
his Coat of Arms, (See Crozier's "General Armory," 1904 edition,
page 126, Burke's "General Armory," 1878 edition, page 1010.)
Crozier, best considered of all of the plublished American
heraldic authorities, records the above described coat and crest
as authentic for descendants of William Thornton, of "The
Hills", Yorkshire, England who came to America and settled in
York County, Virginia, in the year 1646. Burke, British
authority, records the same as authentic for the family of
Thornton, of Scarborough, Yorkshire, which was the center of
residence of this family. Kirkland Hall, in Lancaster, was the
seat of one line. This line bore the lion's head of red. A line
owning the estate of Birkin, in Yorkshire, England, bore the
lion's head of purple, and placed the cornoet around the nect of
hte lion rahter than under it. A Yorkshire line with branchess
in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, England, bore the same armsw, but
changed the crest to a dragon's head nad wings of silver issuing
from the ducal coronet of gold. O'Hart, in the 1923 edition of
his "Irish Pedigrees," Volume 2, states that the Thorntons of
England were among the twelve families among whom Queen
Elizabeth divided 111,000 acres in the County of Limerick, in
Ireland, which she had taken from the FitzGeralds, Earls of
Desmond. This accounts for the branches of the family which
settled in Ireland."
"An article written by Adelle Bartlett Harper published in the
"Georgia Magazine, Dec 1967-Jan 1968" says a list made in 1675
shows Wm. to be 55; his eldest son Luke 33; Edward, 29; Wm. Jr,
26, Francis, 24; and Rowland, 21."
