Thank you so very very much... it is a good feeling to have somewhere to start! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrea Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [INRANDOL] Edward Thornburgh I would say that early you would need to look at Arba Friends, that would be the earliest settlement in Randolph County, and many settlers came from that area of North Carolina and were Quakers, You need to contact a professor, who's name escapes me at the moment (Max ???) at Gilford College to get a copy of the original minutes on the family's details and disownmanship for marring out of the Quaker Faith, this happened often during this time period, but you may also find a minute where they then came before the meeting and expressed their guilt and sorrow and were let back in, again common. So they may of stayed friends but moved away as because of all of this. To get minutes here you need to contact Tom Hamm, at the Lilly Library, Earlham College, Richmond, IN. Tom is the custodian of records for Indiana Yearly Meeting, there should be transcriptions of the meeting minutes as wells as originals, which are really neat to see. There are many many Thornburgs here in Randolph County. You might contact Laura Thornburg at the Extension Office to see what she might have for you. She has a lot of family history done. The office is located on US 24 at the Randolph County 4-H fair grounds. She's on-line if you go through the Purdue University web-site.
