Hello, I am seeking information about the following family: Isaac W. Thornburg b. 1822 married Rhoda Lamb. Their son Restore Thornburg married _____Cox. They had a daughter named Lorette Thornburg b. 1880 in IN. She married Calvin Heiss in 1899. The Heiss family lived in Randolph County, IN. I believe that the Thornburgs and Lambs also lived in Randolph County, IN. Does anyone know if this family was Quaker? Does anyone know anything else about them? Does anyone know if their were Quaker families in Randolph Co., IN with the last name of Heiss? I have the names of these couples other children if that would help. Does anyone know of a connection between them and a Quaker Pyle or Stout family? Thanks for any help! Sincerely, Susan E. Davis
Restore Thornburg married Annettie Cox. Calvin and Loretta (Thornburg) Heiss's youngest son was Willard Heiss (1921-1988), who was one of the great Quaker genealogists of the twentieth century, and a good friend of mine. All of these families lived in Randolph County, Indiana. Here at Earlham College we have Willard Heiss's files and papers, with extensive information on all of these families. The Heisses were originally Lutherans. They moved to Randolph County from Galion, Ohio. Their Quaker connections came with marriages into Quaker families.
