Bio

Ancestors Robert & Elizabeth Batton Thornton were the 1st white settlers (by tomahawk rite) of what became Parkersburg, WV. My Great-grandparents were their grandson David Thornton & his wife Sabitha Corbett Thornton. My maternal 3rd Great grandparents were Parren Thomas Pierce & Hannah Masters Pierce. Dulin ancestors on the paternal side were Francis Dulin & Margaret Hoskinson Dulin. On 1 July 2003, we visited Dulin's Graveyard , site of burials of 4 generations of Dulin ancestors and kin.
