Minister of the Gospel; presided at his son's wedding, A.T. Thornburg and Martha E. Moore Thornburg, signing their marriage license as, Minister of the Gospel.

Joined CSA, 34th Georgia along with Andrew Lafayette Thornburg Jr. & Andrew Lafayette Sr.

(Additional Info. Provided by Thornburg Cousin, E.M. - Records indicate Rev. Ellis Thornburg(h) died at the Almshouse in Cedar Bluff & buried in an unmarked grave as were all the residents. 2011

The Almshouse or as it was called "poor house" is no longer there per se. There is a football field, etc. over this land where the Almshouse was; parts grown up with weeds, etc. These graves will never be found. How tragic.

His other children are William Jasper Thornburgh who married Patience E. Kindrick; Paul (there isn't information on him) Ellis Thornburgh Jr. If anyone has this information, please share it with us. Thank you.
