On June 12, 1830, Sheriff Thomas Thornton went to serve a man a writ in Caroline County, Virginia. In the process, he was shot and killed. The man would be arrested and charged. He would be found guilty and executed on November 26, 1830.
I got this information from the Officer Down Memorial Page and they do not disclose the names of others on the memorial pages. So I do not know the name of the man who killed the Sheriff.
