_____ From: Elmer Thorn [mailto:eandmthorn@cox.net] Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 7:52 AM To: 'THORN-L-request@rootsweb.com' Subject: William Thorn /DNA This is a test. I haven't had any mail lately and wonder if I'm still on the list. My ancestor is William Thorn b about 1685-90 and lived in Prince William Co Va in the first half of the 1700's. I would like to know of any other Thorn males that are willing to take the DNA test to se if the Thorn lines in America are all related or not. There are two of us already submitted our DNA. I would like to hear from any Thorn line from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania ,Maryland or even England that is considering the test. Elmer Thorn Missouri

Hello Elmer - thanks for posting your Thorn information. I am not a Thorn surname researcher, however, one of my brick walls in Leverett research is Jean ? Leverett, widow of Thomas Leverett who died in Lunenburg County, Virginia, 1783. I do not know her maiden name. A clue I have been following is that Jean Leverett was formerly Jane Thorn. Can you help with this? Thank you, and thanks to anyone on the list who may be able to shed some light on this ... Merry Christmas to all !!!!! Charlotte
