Rachel died two years later in 1852 of unknown month. Later, Thornton married Nancy Lessley, AKA Leslie (Bettie's marriage record).

Defiance, Augusta Co., Virginia, by Mrs. C. F. Rudolph, Washington, DC., 1953. Toots kindly shared Rachel was Thornton's first wife, and believes she died in Virginia.
