I searched other surrounding counties and found Benjamin THORNBURGH moved into Bollinger County before the Civil War but had no children named John. Wiley (age 36) and Kaay (age 30) Thornburgh had a son John born about 1866 according to the Bollinger County 1870 cenus. I then went to the Anscestry.Com website and found; William & Abigal Thornburgh had a son John L. born about 1877 according to the 1880 Mo State Census. They lived in West Point, MO, Bales Co.. I also found a Thomas & Martha Thornburgh had a son John born about 1874.They lived in Kansas City, MO according to the 1880 MO state census. Otherwise, no marriages can be found for a John L. Thornburgh or a Ermina (Danner) Thornburgh in Cape Girardeau, Perry or Bollinger County. If there is some other information you need from Perry or Cape Girardeau Counties, please email me at Kastenre@ldd.net Blessings, Ruth
