Tommy Lu (Thornhill) Van Eaton shared information on these families. Her great grandfather, John Thornhill is buried in Worsley Cemetery. He had a daughter Alva Mae, also known as Alver. Alver lived in Bronaugh until she passed away in 1941. She married Charles W. Wilker, and their daughter was Geneva Beryl Wilker who married Robert Lee Linn, son of John Linn and Sarah Harrison. John Thornhill's other daughter was Junetta, also known as Nettie, and she married John M. Angel (They're buried in Welborn Cemetery). Their daughter Ida V. Angel married Charles E. Phelps. Their daughter Valera Phelps married Marion Saathoff. Tommy's grandfather, Lemuel Thornhill, was by John Thornhill's second wife Nancy Kelly, and he came to Colgate, Ok.in the 1890s. It appears that John Thornhill and his wife, Nancy, separated about 1892 and she headed out to Indian Territory with their two sons, Lemuel and John Joseph. Apparently, John, stayed behind with his two daughters and their families (the Wilkers and the Angels).	Tommy shared this photo of John Thornhill and his daughters, Nettie (Angel) and Alver (Wilker).

Tommy also sent the above scan from her cousin, Nettie's Granddaughter Valera Saathoff, that shows the two sisters, Alver (Thornhill) Wilker and Nettie (Thornhill) Angel in front of the doorway of a house. Alver is the sister with the darker hair. Beryl Wilker Linn is the third person from the left with a fancy hat. Her father Charles Wilker is on the far left and her mother Alver is in another fancy hat in front of the doorway. Alver's daughter-in-law has her hand on Beryl's shoulder. Nettie is the petite lady beside Alver and Nettie's two daughters are beside her. They were Katie (Kitty) May (Angel) Thomas and Ida Valera (Angel) Phelps. Kitty May Thomas' son, Henry J. Thomas, ran a drug store in Nevada, Mo. The man on the far right of the picture is John Phelps--Ida Valera Angel married into his family.
