Here is what I have on my website regarding our Thorne/Thorn line. Paulina Our Thorne Ancestors Our first Thorne ancestor was Peter Thorne. He passed away in Jeffersontown, Kentucky in 1798. We think he was probably buried on the farm on Chenoweth Run. Peter came to America from Germany in 1769. He arrived in Philadelphia in October on a ship named the Crawford. There were 20 other young german men. The ships register can be found in the Strassberg books in most large librarys. A large group of germans came from York County, Pennsylvania to Jeffersontown in 1795. On February 1st, 1797 Peter bought 60 acres on Chenoweth Run from Simon Pottorf/Bottorf. (JCDB 4-450) and was taxed on the 60 acres and 1 horse in 1797. Administration of his estate was granted his widow, Mary, on August 7, 1798. John Miller, Peter Hause, Martin Reisinger and John Stucky were order to appraise his estate. (JCCOMB 5-126) His heirs sold 60 acres on Chenoweth Run to John Woolet on 15 March 1815.
