Does anyone know the relationship between Lorton and Throne? And if you happen to have more information on this family I'd love to hear from you. The 1718 will of Thomas Lorton had sons John, Thomas and Joseph all under 18 years of age. It was witnessed by Alexander Cleveland/Cleland who Thomas had also joined to witness the will of Thomas Jordan in 1716. In St Mary's 1740 estate of William Throne - Adm Jane (who I read was maiden name Ellis) - the Next of Kin listed are Jonathon Throne and John Lorton Then in 1753 PG County Jonathon Thrown estate Adm: Mary and Next of kin is Thomas and Susan Lorton
