I don'...Hi - My name is Alicia McCracken Morgan. I don't have the last name of Thornton but I am related to the Thorntons through my great-great-grandfather George Washington McCracken of Millbury, MA, who was married to Mary Edgerly Thornton. She is the great-granddaughter of your William Thornton, who is the brother of Matthew Thornton, the signer, and the son of James Thornton. <br /><br />My grandmother always said that the McCrackens were related to Matthew Thornton, but she said that the first McCracken that came over from Ulster married Matthew Thornton's daughter, which I knew to be untrue. So, I thought she just made it up. But upon joining Ancestry I found there was a connection after all, just not the one of family legend, and I've been very interested in finding out more about the family.<br /><br />I have done my DNA test and would love to see if there is a connection. <br />Alicia Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14458700009032102949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6796453294242204514.post-80372326071570361862020-03-16T22:47:48.998-07:002020-03-16T22:47:48.998-07:00I am James A Thornton - a direct descendent of Jam...I am James A Thornton - a direct descendent of James.
