Wow, really? I have just one. Andrew Thorn married 5 Feb. 1832, Alley Drake, Lawrence Co., IN. Apparently he died before 1840 because A(lley) Thorn was head of household at that time. This was the information sent to be via email a few years ago. Quote: Took trip downtown today. Checked on Lawrence Co., IN 1830: There is an Anthony Thorn on page 073, line 11. The town is Newland. Males= 1 six and under, 2 @ 15 and under 20, 1 @ 50 and under 60. Females= 1 @20 under 30, and 1 @ 30 and under 40. Total of six free whites. In 1840 there is a Henry on page 230 line 2. Males= 1 @5-10, 1@ 10-15, 1 @ 30-40. Females = 2 under 5 yrs. 1 @ 30 -40. On line 3 of this page there is a Jo??? (could have been Jos.) male, age 20 - 30 and the column for blind was checked. In Parke County 1840 census page 141 line 4 I found an A???? (could be Alley) Thorn: All were female; 1 under 5 yrs., 2 @ 5 - 10, 1 @ 20 - 30. No notations. Unquote. I am not able to find my source for 1850 census, but Alley Thorn had married another man and two daughters were with her. This was in Parke Co., IN. Then I didn't find them again. Here we go. I found an old message I'd posted. Submitter: Shirley Maynard Subject: <A HREF="http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/message/an/surnames.brown/1626">Riley BROWN</A> Message: Just learned Riley BROWN married the widow, Alley THORN, nee DRAKE, 1841 in Parke Co., IN. Is he the same as Riley S. Brown who served in the 69th IN Civil War and deserted 1863? He is not listed on any censuses after 1850 and that is in Adams Twp., Morgan Co., IN. So many leads, but do they all lead to the same man? Riley Brown. She was on the 1850 census with Riley Brown. BROWN, RILEY State: IN Year: 1850 County: Morgan County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule Township: Adams Township Page: 164 Database: IN 1850 Federal Census Index But they weren't there in 1860 and I've not worked very hard at finding them elsewhere, since the only Riley Brown (listed) in 1860 was in Alabama. If you have anything on Alley Drake who married Andrew Thorn(e), I have her parents' and siblings' information. Shirley Maynard
