Barbara,

James Thorpe sailed to the U.S. with my 4th gg father Joseph Chatterley. James was Joseph's wife's sister's son. Charlotte Morton Thorpe died in 1840 when James was close to 7 or so. They came to the U.S. in 1851. Isaac Thorpe was his father.

I'm interested in finding more information about Isaac.

Joshua,

Sorry it's taken me a bit to respond to your prior email regarding George C. Thorpe. While my great-great grandfather may have had the same name in common as your great grandfather, I do not believe yours is the same George as mine. Mine was born in Indiana where he & his wife Maud gave birth to my great grandfather Kenneth prior to moving to Pasadena, California.

Good luck in your search.

Re: Timothy Thorpe, d. 1751, Southampton, VA, Mary, Olive, Reese

lrayvick — 2009-05-07 19:40:45Z

Following up on this, we record that after Rivers died in 1799 his 1st cousin Joseph Reese married Piety Vick (whose daughter was Nancy Reese). It was Joseph's and Piety's son William who was also murdered during the slave revolt.

I now think that Rivers and Joseph were actually double first cousins - both descended from John Thorpe and his wife Mary Matthews through their daughters, Mary & Olive; as well as grandparents Joseph and Mary Reese. This connects the Shadrack Vick & Nancy Reese branch of the VICKs to the THORPEs of VA - John was a son of Timothy.

Also in thinking about John Leonidas Vick's statement that Rivers' REESE family came from Ireland, I now suspect, since he was a methodist, that they were Scotch-Irish.

PS - btw, Margaret is still with us!

Timothy Thorpe, d. 1751, Southampton, VA, Mary, Olive, Reese

lrayvick — 2009-05-05 17:02:07Z

Just checking on some Thorpe info and noticed Margaret Nelson's posts on Genealogy.com. I am not sure if Margaret is still with us - Margaret, if you are email me.

She did a lot of reasearch on Vick family genealogy.

She may have even noted this possiblity: Mary Thorpe married John Reese and her sister Olive Thorpe married Edward Reese (around 1770?). John Reese's son, Rivers, married Piety Vick. After he died, Edward Reese's son, Joseph, married Piety. Piety and her son William, by Joseph, were murdered in the 1831 Nat Turner Slave Revolt.

(Piety's dau Nancy, from Rivers, married my 2g gf Arthur D. Vick, Nancy's 2nd cousin once)

My 3g uncle John Leonidas Vick's family history talks about Rivers and Piety.
