Untitled[edit]

The title for this article contains an error. The correct spelling of the first name is "Thornton" rather than "Thorton". Please help me correct it.Tonymartin 06:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is accomplished by moving a page. I'll do it for you. You'll need to fix any redirects. Also note that the help tag should be used on user talk pages, not article talk pages.

Have a nice day,

The sheriff in Detroit was not killed; he was injured and died a couple of years later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.100.212.111 (talk) 18:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Canada' is never specific enough[edit]

For some reason, myriad articles like this one are careful to mention U.S. states, but omit the names of provinces. It's not uncommon to read even more specific U.S. references, such as cities, counties, rivers, highways, etc. Why some writers are satisfied that 'Canada' is sufficient baffles me. Whether referring to the modern nation which touches three oceans, the vast province of Ontario, or even the historic province of Upper Canada, care should be given to note cities, towns, counties, etc., with the same courtesy extended to U.S. locations. I've replaced the several 'Canada' references here with the name of the province: Upper Canada, which it was in 1833, and Essex County in particular, established in 1792. If I can confirm the village name the Thorntons arrived in, I'll add that as well, for if Detroit can be named, so should Sandwich or Amherstburg. Yoho2001 (talk) 10:52, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thornton's mother's name was Sibby, not Mubby[edit]

Several deeds for the Smith family in Virginia include Sibby. That family came to Washington, Kentucky in 1792, and Sibby continues in deeds there. Also, her death record in Toronto gives her name as Sibby Thornton. If you have information showing her name was Mubby and not Sibby, please let me know. We're including Thornton's story in a museum in Old Washington, KY. BertiePetie (talk) 17:13, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
