I find Isaac and Rhoda in Jacquelyn Nelson's book: Indiana Quakers Confront the Civil War (1991, Indiana Historical Soc., 303p., p.224 & 288) as Quaker parents from Sparrow Creek MM (existed 1861-69) of John W. Thornburg, Randolph Co, IN, b. 25 June 1845, a "Sergeant", (enlisted?) at 17, served with Company K, 84th Regiment in the Civil War. Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2005 Subject: Thornburg, Heiss 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

Hi List, In my Lamb records, the son of Rhoda Lamb and Isaac Thornburg Jr, who was born 25 June 1845, was named Jonathan, not John. I also found this in the Thornburg records. Am I wrong? Can anyone prove, or disprove this? Another puzzle: The Quaker source, “Sparrow Creek-Poplar Run” minutes, clearly states that Isaac was the son of Isaac Thornburg and Rebecca Hobson. The same minutes name Joab, born 1795, and Job born 1800, as his brothers. This needs to be proved. I found Isaac Thornburg Jr. birthday as 4 Dec "1826" and married 10 May 1842. I wonder if it should be "1806" which would make him aged 36 when he married. Does anyone know about this? On Tuesday, February 22, 2005, at 06:53 PM, S.

Yes, the oldest son of Isaac W. and Rhoda (Lamb) Thornburg was Jonathan, born in 1845. There was a son John Harvey Thornburg who was born in 1853. Isaac and Rhoda had 12 children, all boys. Willard Heiss, who was their great-grandson, said that Rhoda could never keep a hired girl because one of the sons would marry her. Isaac W. was the son of Joab and Elizabeth (Holloway) Thornburg and grandson of Isaac and Rebecca. The abstract you found is wrong, something that embarrassed Willard--he made one of his rare mistakes on his own family. Isaac W. was born 12th Mo. 4, 1822. If you will check the same volume of the Heiss abstracts under Dunkirk Monthly Meeting of Anti-Slavery Friends you will find birth dates for Isaac and Rhoda as well as the record of their marriage, which gives their parents' names.
