Sorry for the late response, I see you found the info on Gorgas. I respect the plagerism thing, the book was quoting the actual diaries, which I referenced.

I am very much a fanatic on correct info. Having owned Thornhill for 45 years and being a decendent, I am amazed at all the inaccuracies in the various publications- "Silent in the Lamb" has 5 inaccuracies in a very short article, as does "Historic Homes of Alabama", and "Mansions of Alabama", although "Mansions of Alabama" by Ralph Hammond is by far the best book on the house. Hammond said in the book that Thornton's second wife was his childhood sweetheart, when in fact she was born twelve years after he was. Hard to imagine that they were childhood sweethards when he was almost a teenager when she was born. "Historic Homes of Alabama" has Thornhill as the home of William Thornton, pretty big mistake. BJJ
