BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH (an excerpt): William {Thorne}, through whom the direct line is traced, was born in 1742, William married Jemima Titus, and became the father of six children, the third of whom, was named Samuel. The latter, afterward, established one of the first trading posts and stores of general merchandise in the vicinity. He married Phebe Dean, by whom he had two daughters, and in 1801, a son Jonathan. It was about this time, that a farm of some six-hundred acres, a mile or two westward from the Nine Partners property, was acquired. A house and outbuildings were built on a level stretch among the hills, and the place was, in later years, called "Thorndale".
