Thomas and his wife Sarah Thorne were among the original founders of the now called Codys United Baptist Church and their son-in-law and daughter were early teachers in the community. Thomas Thorne was held in sufficient respect that his considered opinion appeared to have the force of law in that he was the source of community and church judgments. He was a Deacon of the Baptist Church and referred to as the "Governor" in the community.
*Note: From Richard Thorne's "Thorne Book".
From Christian Visitor:
d. Johnston (Queens Co.) 18th ult., age 86, Deacon Thomas THORNE. He was born on Long Island, New York and came to this Province with his parents who, for their loyalty, left home for this strange land and settled on the Washademoak Lake where he lived till his death. He was among the first who professed religion in that place and became deacon of the first Baptist Church in Johnston which office he held till death. He has left five sons, three daughters. -(contributed by) Elias KIERSTEAD (see eulogy)
