Consider this:

On Thomas Sterling 1910 census, in addition to Maggie Sterling as child, shows Nannie A. Sterling as spouse and children names such as Jesse, Floyd, Carl, Velma, Gracie Sterlings; would Thomas C Sterling have adopted the Hill children???

Nancy Alice Thornton's 1st marriage was to Robert Sanford Hill

Nancy Alice Thornton's 2nd marriage was to Thomas C Sterling, the father of her brother's (Doss Younger Thornton) wife (Maggie Gladys Sterling).
