Joseph THORNBURGH
Another name for Joseph was Joseph THORNBURY. Noted events in his life were: • See also. http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~mygermanfamilies/ThornJosEliz.html Joseph married Elizabeth WHITE, daughter of William WHITE and Susanna THORNBURGH, on 12 Feb 1774 in Guilford County, NC. (Elizabeth WHITE was born in Chester County, PA and died after 1820 in Wayne County, IN.) Noted events in their marriage were: • Alt. Marriage, 26 Feb 1774. Elizabeth's surname is White. A Discourse on the Thornburgs has her name as Elizabeth Torrington, married out of unity on 2/26/1774. The date is definitely an error and the surname seems to be also. We do not find Torringtons in the area, nor do we find this marriage record. We do find a record for Elizabeth White marrying Joseph Thornbrough on 2/12/1774 in Guilford County in a civil ceremony. We feel the Torrington name may be a confusion for Elizabeth Thornbrough who married a Farrington at New Garden Monthly Meeting in 1765. |
