Biography

• Birth: Elizabeth T. Thornton was born on 24 January 1793 in North Carolina, United StatesBGO.
• Marriage: She and Zimri Cook were married on 13 November 1813.
• Death: She died on 11 December 1854, at age 61.

• Story:
  Thomas probably left for Ohio about 1806, according to research done by Ken Thornton. They moved to a Quaker settlement near Dayton, Ohio. The family went via wagon, which was pulled by oxen. The wagon was loaded with household goods, food and children. Each of the families engaged in the move made five bushels of noodles before they started on the trip. They migrated from North Carolina to Ohio to get away from slavery and then left Ohio because timber was scarce, and no public land was left to enter. Illinois better suited their needs because they found good soil and an abundance of timber. After Abigail died, she asked that if Thomas ever married again, he would name a daughter Abigail after her. Thomas did this after marrying Sarah. Thomas and Sarah moved to Vermilion County, Illinois in 1821, where they both died in 1834. Thomas's gravestone could still be read in the 1970s, but by the later 1990s, it was becoming exceedingly to read. It was not anchored in the ground and was leaning.²
