THORNTON, TEXAS (Trinity County). Thornton is a farming community on State Highway 94 ten miles west of Groveton in western Trinity County. It was named for James D. Thornton, who moved to Trinity County from Mississippi in 1858 with his family and a group of other settlers and established a community on Little White Rock Creek. Around the time of the Civil War Thornton donated three acres for a church and school; in the 1870s two mills were built at the site. The school was consolidated with the Saron and Glendale schools after World War I. In the early 1990s the church, a cemetery, and number of houses still remained at the townsite, and descendants of the Thornton family still lived in the area.

Thornton Church community has a 1988 historical marker with this wording:

"James D. Thonrton (1807-c.1870s) came to this area with his family in 1858, traveling in a wagon train with other families from their Mississippi homes. The Thorntons joined their friends and relatives who had preceded them to Trinity County. A farming community was established and much of the life centered around the Thornton Chuch and School, built upon land donated by James D. Thornton. Farming continued to be the principal economical base until popultation began to decline after World War II. Many area pioneers are interred in the Thornton Church Cemetary."

Tasha is from Trinidad. Christopher Columbus discovered Trinidad during his third voyage in 1498. In 1797, war in Europe had spread into the Caribbean. The British captured Trinidad without a shot, and it was formally ceded to England in 1802.

In 1889 Trinidad and Tobago were united as one colony. The early twentieth century saw the discovery of oil in Trinidad, which resulted in strong economic growth and prosperity. The island became strategically important and the Americans established several bases in Trinidad during WWII as a result of the Lend-Lease arrangement with England. Many an American serviceman returned to the US with a Trinidadian bride.

Trinidad and Tobago became a Republic in 1976.
