I have been researching William Thorn and feel I am close to seeing that he was one and the same William Thorn that was married to : (1) ___ ? early 1700's (2) Mary Peck O'Rear abt 1723-24 and then (3) Sarah ___ Muse, Carter (William Thorn abt 1740's) Henry WIlson I have just received a lot of documentation form The Virginia Library that documents Land Purchases, Deeds,Wills, Tax Lists Etc. I do know that Sarah Muse Carter Thorn Wilson was John Thorn's (b late 1740's in Prince William Co) mother by him being executor of her will and that Sarah Thorn was appointed guardian of John Thorn and a sister Frances Carter in May 1762. John continues on through Prince William Co records until Oct 22 1806 where he sells the land granted to his father William Thorn in 1729 in then Stafford Co Va and quoted from document "He being the only son and heir at law" of WIlliam Thorn . In 1729 I believe that William Thorn was married to widow Mary (Peck) O'Rear as he was the step father of Daniel and John O'Rear. So you can see the connection between the two wives Mary Peck O'Rear and Sarah ___ ? Muse ,Carter,Thorn,Wilson. I hope this helps others researching either the Thorn, O'Rear or Muse -Carter lines as well. I am open to dialog on this. I also have documentation from a wonderful person ,DONALD WILSON, Librarian at Ruth E Lloyd Information Center (RELIC) Bull Run Regional Library. He has been most helpful and thorough as well. I will be glad to share this information with anyone that would like a copy.
