Samuel W. Thornton (Oct. 23, 1832 in Madison County, Ohio – July 20, 1917 in Kearney, Nebraska) was a prominent farmer, businessman, soldier, and politician. He was elected to serve one term in the Nebraska State Legislature (1877), representing Buffalo County.
== Early years ==
Samuel W. Thornton was the son of Abner and Esther Strain Thornton. His father was a member of a large Scots-Irish and devoutly Presbyterian family that had migrated to Ohio from South Carolina over opposition to slavery〔Bickell, Minerva Thornton. History of the Thornton Family, 1907; reprinted: May 22, 1910〕 During the American Civil War, Samuel joined the Union Army, fighting with Company C, 8th Regiment, Iowa Infantry. He participated in several of the bloodiest battles of the war, including the Battle of Shiloh, Battle of Vicksburg, and Battle of Memphis, where he was shot in the thigh and hospitalized until the end of the war.
Returning home to Washington County, Iowa, he was hailed as a war hero and served in a series of elected positions: city collector, marshal, assessor, and one term as Deputy Sheriff. He also conducted the 1870 census of Washington County, Iowa.〔Biographical Souvenir of Buffalo County. F.A. Battery & Co. 1890 reprint: 1997 pgs: 389-399〕
