I am a Thorne too. My family immigrated to the US around 1881 and settled in Nanticoke, Pa. They originally came from Somerset, England then around 1879 or so they migrated to Wales to work in the mines. Is there a connection here ? Beth In a message dated 1/31/2011 1:21:17 P.M.

We are the parents of 4 daughters. The girls are all grown with children but are interested in knowing more about their Thorn/ Mills and other families. I just began this research so my info is slim and most undocumented. John Thorn Mills is the son of Margaret Frances Thorn Margaret is the daughter of John Thomas Thorn John Thomas and Clara Jane Fleming had other children all born in Pennsylvania Willie J. - 1884-1902 Curtis - 1893 - 1895 Roberta - 1887 - 1982 and Margaret - 1897 - 1990 I have much info on Clara J. Fleming going back to Zarber/Sarver(3rd greats for the girls). Off course all this is not document as of yet. Info was all obtained from sibling of John T. Mills along with photos and papers he had. I did talk with an ex-sister-in-law just before Christmas. She gave me what she could remember but stated that her family really isn't interested in heritage We come to John Thomas Thorn - my brick wall. Have nothing on this fellow. I assume he was english but as yet unable to prove. Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated Penny tepo10@metrocast.net ==== THORN Mailing List ==== THORN@rootsweb.com To contact the List Administrator: Rick Berkheiser, THORN-admin@rootsweb.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to THORN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ==== THORN Mailing List ==== THORN@rootsweb.com To contact the List Administrator: Rick Berkheiser, THORN-admin@rootsweb.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to THORN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
