James Johnston Thornton
James Johnston Thornton (November 24, 1816, in Highland County, Ohio – c. 1882, Guadalupe County, Texas) was a prominent military reconstruction judge, land developer, and quartermaster of the Union Army. He was also the uncle of famed businessman and philanthropist, George Washington Brackenridge, of San Antonio, Texas.〔

==Early years==

Thornton was a member of a pioneering Ohio and Indiana family that had migrated to the region from South Carolina over opposition to slavery. The Thorntons and related families were devout Scots-Irish Presbyterians and formed a supportive community on Rattlesnake Creek, Ohio. His parents, John and Mary Johnston Thornton, raised twelve children in central Ohio and were respected farmers in the local communities. Several of their sons became soldiers; several others became pioneering ministers.〔Texas State Genealogical Society. Stirpes, Volume 35, Number 4, December 1995, Frances Pryor, editor, Journal/Magazine/Newsletter, December 1995; digital images, (http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth39861 : accessed January 15, 2012), University of North Texas Libraries, The Portal to Texas History, http://texashistory.unt.edu; crediting Texas State Genealogical Society, Tyler, Texas〕
According to Thornton’s sister, Minerva Thornton Bickell, James J. Thornton was an avid reader and left home at the age of 19 to pursue an education: he worked constantly and studied, spending a term at Bloomington College (now, University of Indiana at Bloomington) and teaching preparatory classes (1835).〔Indiana University:
its history from 1820, when founded, to 1890 : with biographical sketches of its presidents, professors and graduates : and a list of its students from 1820 to 1887; Theophilus Adam Wylie〕 After Thornton’s family moved to the Logansport, Indiana, area, in 1836, he worked with the engineers building the Erie Canal that ran from Bloomington to the Ohio River in southern Indiana.〔
