Thorn of Durnford, Wiltshire

zoedroberts — 2009-11-07 13:07:00Z

Hi all, I am searching for any info on the Thorns specifically from Durnford. My interests are Jane Thorn (1846-1922) married to George Rattue. Janes parents - Peter Thorn and Elizabeth Blundon. Peters parents - Peter Thorn and Mary Barnes. I also have a cousin of Jane who married into the same family named Mary Ann Thorn (1815-1892) married to James Rattue. Mary Anns' parents - William Thorn and Hester Stacey. Williams' parents were Peter Thorn and Mary Barnes. Any info anyone might have I would be very grateful as I am now finding it all a little tricky.

Otis O. Thorne, Died in Columbus, Ohio 1932

I have found the death certificate for Otis O. Thorne who died April 1, 1932, as a Sgt. stationed at Fort Hayes in Columbus, Franklin Co, OH. His wife is listed as Katherine Thorne. Otis was a grandson of Robert Carter Thorn who was raised in Jackson Co, Ohio, moved to Sothern Iowa & wound up in Montague Co, TX. So Otis's father Robert Pearl Thorne, stayed in Jackson Co, Ohio. If anyone has any news or is researching this branch of my Thorn Family. Please contact me.

Millie Thorn, 1780 Virginia

twubbl — 2009-01-04 23:04:33Z

I am looking for information on the wife of Lewis Menefee. I have found Trees on Ancestry.com that show she was Millie Thorn b. abt. 1780 in Virginia, and possibly d. Leeds, Fauquier, Virginia.

They would have been married abt. 1796, in Culpeper County, Virginia.

The 1810 & 1820 USCensus Records show that Lewis lived in Culpeper County, VA. Couldn't find the 1830 records. 1840 USCensus shows the family living in Fauquier County, Virginia.

I have no other information on the wife of Lewis. Any and all information is greatly appreciated.

Karaka29211 — 2008-09-12 20:31:08Z

Hello Helen,
Thanks for your reply, I am following this family too, because there is a possible connection related to surname and locality. My family origin interests are Thorne in nearby Ruddle/Newnham, hence my interest in the same name in Lydney and OldCroft. I have a Susan Thorne who was a school mistress in Newnham in the 1851 census and I am trying to relate her to the Lydney record but so far inconclusive. Please keep me informed as to how you get on.
Without colouring your research, let me know if you want the results of my study.
Regards,
Russell

We also have the Namanny connection back to thelate 1500's. I would be glad to share with you if you are interested.

Looking for any help with Thorns of Davenport IA and Thorns of PA. George may have had a sister Mary (Born: 29 Aug 1854 in Davenport IA, Died 3 Oct 1928 in St. Louis MO). Mary married Patrick Conley. Can’t find any census info before 1920 on George and family. Does anyone have a connection to Davenport IA or find where William and Bridget died and are buried.

Does anyone have Thomas Thorn's ancestry back to a specific country or when they arrived in America ? I manage the Thorn DNA project and we are looking for Thorn males to compare their DNA to distinguish the different Thorn lines in AMerica. So far we have 3 different Thorn lines by DNA . It was earlier presummed that all Thorn's in AMerica was from the William Thorn line from New York. Tha isn't true as we have a line from the Carolina's and also Virginia.

I think your Mary is my missing Mary thorn. Our Mary Thorn was born in Prince William Co Va abt 1783 the daughter of John Thorn and Mary Sanford. John was the son of William Thorn and Sarah Muse. We have no further details of her. Her brother John Thorn Jr moved to Wood Co Va around 1815. He was married to Susan (possibly Foley). He remained there until his death in 1850's. I believe we have the same Mary Thorn. Could you please email me at eandmthorn@suddenlink.net . We can exchange information.
