Notes for: William Thornton Lightfoot

I got information about his parents from a post by Sylvia McAllister at the Lightfoot Family Genealogy forum. There is much more listed there.

Dave,

I found your web site at . My ggg-grandmother was Evalina Lightfoot (b. 1820, Anderson County, KY) who married Cornelius Elliott. My gg-grandfather, John William Elliott, was born in Edgar County, Illinois. I'm fairly certain that Evalina was a sister to your William Thornton, but I'm looking for hard evidence. In the 1850 census John and Evalina Elliott lived next door to Thornton and Margaret Lightfoot. Might you have any additional information that you'd be willing to share?

Yours sincerely,

Jeffrey Pierce
