MATTHEW THORNTON'S FAMILY AND DESCENDANTS

NOTE: James Shepard-5 Thornton was the last of Hon. Matthew Thornton, M.D.'s MALE descendants to have the surname Thornton. There are many of his descendants that do not bear a THORNTON name. If your surname is Thornton possibly you are descended from one of Hon. Matthew's brothers (in that case you would be distantly related, but not a 'descendant'). Only the line of Matthew, son of James is traced below.

**** FIRST GENERATION***

James-1 THORNTON, an Englishman, and Elizabeth Jenkins, his wife, removed from England to the north of Ireland, where their son, Matthew-2 Thornton was born, in 1714. The Thornton family is said to have been among the 120 families who in five small ships, arrived in Boston, MA, on 17 August 1718, and in the fall of that year went to Falmouth (now Portland) ME, spending the winter there, on shipboard. They then went to Wiscasset Maine for a few years, removing to Worcester MA. In 1740 James Thornton moved to Pelham MA, as one of the towns founders and proprietors, and held various town offices. In 1748 he removed to Londonderry NH where he lived until his death on 7 Nov 1754. He is buried in Forest Hills cemetery, East Derry NH, beside his daughter Hannah Wallace.

Dr. Matthew-2 Thornton (James-1) was born abt 1710 in Northern Ireland. In 1745, Dr. Matthew-2 Thornton joined the expedition against Louisburg, Cape Breton, as surgeon in the New Hampshire Division of the American army. At the commencement of the Revolutionary War, he held the rank of colonel in the militia; he was commissioned justice of the peace under the colonial administration of Gov. Benning Wentworth; he was appointed president of the Provincial Convention of New Hampshire (in 1775) and the following year was chosen to represent New Hampshire in the first Congress held at Philadelphia. He was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. After serving his term in Congress he became chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas in New Hampshire, and afterwards judge of the Superior Court. About 1762 he established a farm in New Boston, NH remaining there 8 years, returning to Londonderry NH; After 1776 he purchased a farm in that part of Merrimack known as Thornton's Ferry, where, surrounded by his family and friends, he passed the remainder of his days in dignified repose. He served Merrimack NH as moderator and selectman, on the 1787 tax list he is shown living in District 4. He died at the house of his daughter, Mrs. Hannah Thornton McGaw, in Newburyport, Mass., June 24, 1803, at the age of eighty-nine years. Mr. Thornton was a man of commanding presence, but of a very genial nature, remarkable for his native wit and great fondness for anecdote.
His remains were brought back to Merrimack, and they repose in the little burial ground at Thornton's Ferry, with only a modest tombstone to mark his resting place (inscription: "An honest man). August 28, 1885, an act of the legislature authorized the erection of a suitable monument to his memory, upon a site selected and donated by the town. Upon September 29, 1892, this monument was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies, the Hon. William T. Parker being president and Hon. Charles H. Burns the orator of the day.
Judge Thornton married abt 1760 to Hannah Jack, daughter of Andrew & Mary (Morrison) Jack of Chester NH [although her surname is called "Jackson" in the History of New Boston, Chester NH town records clearly show the surname to be JACK].

Frank Hoyoke-5 BETTON (Thornton-4 BETTON, Mary-3 THORNTON, Dr. Matthew-2, James-1) b 1 Aug 1835 in Derry NH, and d. 1905; [the following biography according to a web site] Eight years of his early life were passed in Derry, two years in Newburyport, Mass., one year at Portsmouth, N. H., a short time in Dover, N. H., and three years in Boston, Mass. At the latter place be engaged as clerk in a mercantile house. He then went to Petersburg, Va., where he remained two years, and in May, 1856, came to Kansas. He landed at Leavenworth City on the 8th day of May, and at once went about finding business. He had $2,000 in money to invest, and, proceeding to the old historic town of Easton, he fell in company with others who agreed to interest themselves with him In building up a town on Red Vermillion Creek. The new town was to have at once a hotel, store, blacksmith shop, and saw-mill. After suffering the privations and disappointments common to such an enterprise in a new country, Mr. Betton found the project abandoned by the others, and himself the owner of a saw-mill in a town and country without inhabitants. He returned to Leavenworth, and during the winter engaged in a general speculating business, dealing principally, however, in Geary City town property, by which he realized about $500. He attended the sale of town shares (10 lots) in Wyandotte, advertised to take place March 1, 1857, the first 100 shares to be sold at $500 a share. He bought share No. 92. There was a perfect craze for these shares. People came from far and near, and it was by chance that he managed to buy an interest. Isaiah Walker's store was the only frame building in the town at the time. It still stands on the north side of Nebraska avenue, below Fourth street. Silas Armstrong's brick residence stood on the hill, near the corner of Fifth street and Minnesota avenue. Ike Brown's log house stood where Dunning's Hall now stands. The land office building was located nearly opposite, and Joel Walker lived in a log house near Jersey Creek. The Widow Splitlog's cabin occupied the hill south of Minnesota avenue, and the Cotter's lived at the ferry, and those houses constituted the city of Wyandotte in 1857. Mr. Betton was offered $750 for one lot while on his way to Leavenworth, just after the purchase, but refused to take it. Wyandotte had her collapse, and values shrunk amazingly. Mr. Betton disposed of his interest at a sacrifice. He next entered a claim of 160 acres of farming hand, and forty acres of timber, near Osawkie, on the Delaware Trust Lands. He also speculated in claims, and was very successful in this enterprise. After Osawkie land sales, he returned to Leavenworth, but the same fall located in Wyandotte and engaged in lumbering and logging for a saw mill, and in December, 1859, bought it. It was located where the town of Argentine has since been built up. In 1860, he bought forty acres of land, and built a house on it, which is still standing. The smelting works are now located on this forty acres, which he sold in 1863 for $500, now worth over $100,000. In 1863, the mill was moved over to the Missouri River, near Nearman Station, where he continued the business until the fall of 1867, his family living in the meantime at Wyandotte. In company with Mr. Overton, he bought a half section of land of Alexander Caldwell and Lucien Scott, near Pomeroy, and in June, 1868, located a new saw-mill at that place. The mill exploded the first day's run, killing one man and injuring another. The mill was immediately rebuilt, and other lands were subsequently bought, until Overton & Betton were the owners of 1,100 acres of fine timber land. They and their employes, mill bands and wood-choppers, were the only white settlers in the vicinity. Mr. Betton solicited the County Superintendent to lay out a school district, which was done immediately. Bonds were voted to build a schoolhouse. They were purchased by Overton & Betton, and the commodious school room was erected, which still stands to do credit to the enterprise of its first proprietors. They also built a side track on the Missouri Pacific Railroad at their own expense, erected a store room, and secured a post office. The store room was first occupied by Derrick Stone, Pomeroy's first merchant. In 1873, they erected their three-story flouring-mill, called Maple Cliff Mills. They also sold lands to the amount of about 400 acres, and still retain about 700 acres. The mill was operated by Overton & Betton until 1878, when Mr. Young purchased the half-interest of Mr. Overton, and the mill was owned amid operated by Betton & Young until the spring of 1883, when they disposed of their entire interest to the Pomeroy Milling Company. Mr. Betton has striven to do his part in the labors which, in a period of twenty-five years, have served to carve out of the wilderness the foremost county in his State. He has been identified with many enterprises, public and private, and, like most old settlers, has reaped but a moderate reward. He has written much for the press since his residence in Kansas, and displays a literary ability remarkable for a man who has been so actively engaged in business pursuits. He was married in Wyandotte, March 8, 1860, to Susanna Mudeater. She was b. March 5, 1841, an accomplished and educated daughter of Matthew Mudeater, head chief of the Wyandotte nation. Her father was educated at the Methodist Episcopal Mission, Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Her mother was educated at the same mission. Both were exceedingly fair and handsome. They emigrated with the Wyandottes to Indian Territory in 1843. According to Susanna (Mudeater) Betton's obituary in the Kansas City Times, dated August 23, 1912 she died August 22, 1912. Frank H. Betton had been Grand Master of the R. W. Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., State of Kansas, and its Grand Representative in the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the United States; also, Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of the K. of P. of the State of Kansas, and its Representative to the Supreme Lodge of the United States.

WILKINS - The Wilkins family came from England and settled in Salem in the early part of the seventeenth century.

Stephen Wilkins, born in that part of Salem afterwards incorporated in Middleton, left a son, Stephen Wilkins, Jr., who took part in the French and Indian War, was appointed captain in the Revolutionary forces, and served two years, but left the army in 1777, and bought a farm in Merrimack, on the Souhegan River, three and half miles from its mouth.

An interesting incident occurred in connection with this purchase. John Neal, the man of whom he purchased, was a Whig when the Americans seemed likely to succeeded and a Tory when the British got the advantage. The bargain was made in the spring of 1777; but in the summer, when Mr. Wilkins came to pay the money in Continental currency, it had begun to depreciate, and Mr. Neal refused to take it, declaring that the British would gain the victory and the money would not be worth as much as so many chips. But when he heard of the capture of Burgoyne's army he was glad to take the whole three thousand dollars in Continental currency.

The children of Captain Stephen Wilkins Jr., were Andrew, came to Merrimack with his father; Stephen, died young; Hannah, married Elijah Chubbuck and settled in Vermont, but removed to New York; Lucy, died at Mont Vernon; Stephen-2, settled in New York; Levi, came to Merrimack with his father; James, born in Merrimack, reared a family here and died in New York.

The children of Andrew Wilkins were Amos (settled in Merrimack, and afterwards removed to Vermont); Mehitable (married Samuel McClure of Merrimack), Andrew-2 (died unmarried), Sarah (married Zebulon Ritterbush of Merrimack), Samuel (had one child Samuel-2 in Merrimack then removed to Amherst), Asa (died unmarried), John (settled in Merrimack).

The children of Amos Wilkins born in Merrimack were Joanne A. and Sally N. (removed to Vermont with their father).

The children of Mehitable McClure were Sarah and Samuel (born in Merrimack and removed to Nashua).

The children of Sarah Ritterbush were Stephen W. (died unmarried), Lucy Jane (married John Collins of Nashua), William (went to California), Nelson (went to California).

The children of John Wilkins were Martha H. (married Amos A. Wilkins, a son of Amos Wilkins, born in Vermont), Charlotte (married Edward Colburn and settled in Canada West), Augusta (died in Nashua), Adeline (died in Nashua), a son (died in infancy), Frances (died in Nashua), Alma P. (died in Nashua).

The children of Levi Wilkins were Ann (died in infancy), Alexander McCalley (settled in Merrimack), Roxana (died in Nashua), Levi F. (died young), Lucy A. (married Thomas H. Hall and settled in Nashua), a son (died in infancy), Hannah (married Ira Roby and settled in Amherst), Levi W. (settled in Antrim).

Levi Wilkins settled on the old homestead, and was elected selectman for several years, always discharging the duties of his office satisfactorily to his townsmen and with honor to himself. He made home so pleasant for his children that they look back upon their childhood as the pleasantest portion of their lives. He was universally beloved and respected, and his advice was often sought for by his fellow-citizens. He was a member of the Congregational Church, and his example adorned his profession.

The children of Alexander McCalley Wilkins were Lucy Ann (lived with her father in 1885), Franklin A. (settled in Providence), James M. (settled in Nashua), Gustine (settled in Manville, R.I.), Mary C. (died unmarried).

The children of James Wilkins, son of Captain Stephen were ELiza, Charles A., Mary A., Jame McCall, all born in Merrimack and removed to New York with their father.

"Brick making was commenced in this town by Eri Kittredge about forty years ago, the bricks being transported to Lowell and elsewhere by boats on the Merrimack River. The business is still carried on by his sons, Joseph Kittredge and Eri Kittredge Jr., but the Concord Railroad now carries the bricks to market. This firm produced the largest number about ten years ago when the product reached 2,200,000 selling for $22,000 and giving employment to over twenty men. The present product is about 600,000 selling for about $3600 and employing seven men. There have been several other brick-yards in town at various times, but all except the Kittredge yard have been given up. Jerry Kittredge has for many years carried on the business of manufacturing overalls, pants, jackets, etc. giving employment to a number of ladies in their home.
