Thornton P Watkins House Photos Left Front

Photos taken in 1959 of the Thornton Preston Watkins plantation house which was 
located on Harlan Road several miles from Hackneyville, Tallapoosa County, 
Alabama. The house was probably built in the mid-1840s and was positioned near 
the center of Thornton’s half-section of land described as the South 1/2 of 
Sect 12 T24N R21E. The three generation descendants list for Thornton shown 
below indicate many of his children were probably born in the house.  
Thornton’s brothers, James E. Watkins and Rial Henry Watkins lived near 
Thornton in the 1850s but they later moved to Texas.  Thornton is buried in the 
above ground vault in the Hillabee Campground Methodist Church Cemetery near 
his young daughter, Francis.
