Trudy Thornton was Earline |Thornton's unwed mother, giving birth out of wedlock in 1924 to my grandmother. Earline Thornton was raised by her grandparents, Lonnie and Mary Ellen Thornton from age 2 until she married Gene Moore in 1940. Trudy did not marry until 1928, 4 years later, and her new husband was not Earline's daddy. One of her sisters, Granny's aunt though she was raised as their sister, knew who the father was but she passed away before she could tell Granny. She always believed Granny should have been told the truth, told who her biological father was and according to my mother, she suspected who it might be, but today there is no one left alive who knew who Earline's father was. I do know this, Earline was not bitter about it. She loved her grandparents and knew they loved her. She also knew she had a much better life with them than she would have had with Trudy. I wish I knew the whole story, and maybe I will one day find more in one way or another, but I am happy that Granny had a good loving family to raise her and love her in return. My grandmother was a very special woman. I will love her always.
