However, I thought you might be interested that my grandfather was also an Oliver Morton Thornburgh. His parents were William M. Thornburg and Josephine Slifer. He was born in 1844 near Hagerstown, IN, which is in Wayne County. Wayne is located directly south of Randolph County. He was an only child. Notice the "h" was added for my Oliver's generation. I think I read that "the" Oliver Morton was an extremely popular governor of Indiana and many people must have named their sons after him.
