Elizabeth WHITE
- Born: Chester County, PA
- Marriage: Joseph THORNBURGH on 12 Feb 1774 in Guilford County, NC
- Died: After 1820, Wayne County, IN
Another name for Elizabeth was Elizabeth TORRINGTON.
Elizabeth married Joseph THORNBURGH, son of Walter THORNBURGH Jr. and Margaret BEESON, on 12 Feb 1774 in Guilford County, NC. (Joseph THORNBURGH was born in Chester County, PA and died before 1826 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.
