Jonathan THORNE Sr., a retired leather merchant, died at his residence at 524 Fifth Ave., New York City on Thursday last in the 83rd year of his age. He has been largely interested in real estate in this county for a number of years, and was a partner in the ownership of the Laporte and Thorndale tanneries, the later of which was named in honor of him. He leaves a handsome fortune.
[NOTE:] Today, Laporte is one of the smallest county seats in the USA, and Thorndale, a tannery town, is a ghost (1868-1894)and nearly inaccessible. (provided by David Richards)
SAMUEL THORNE, by Samuel Thorne Jr. - Samuel Thorne, who was elected a Life Member of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, on January 13th, 1914, was born on the sixth of September, 1835, at the family homestead, "Thomdale", which is located in what is now, the village of Millbrook, among the hills of Dutchess County, NY., and about fourteen miles east of Poughkeepsie. It was here, he early developed that love of nature which deeply influenced his character. The Thornes were originally members of the "Society of Friends". The records show that William Thorne, of the sixth generation previous, who probably came from, Essex. England, was made a freeman, at Lynn, Massachusetts, May 2nd, 1638. On October 19th, seven years, later he was named, by Governor Kieft, as one of the eighteen original patentees of the Town of Flushing, L.I. {Long Island, New York -ed.} and twelve years after that, he appears as one of the proprietors of Jamaica, L.I., and as residing there with his wife Sarah. His son, Joseph married, Mary Bowne, and their son Isaac, who was born in 1698, was the first of the Thornes to move from Long Island, to Dutchess County. He and eight other members of the Society of Friends, who organized a group known as the "Nine Partners", acquired a parcel of land, upon which they erected a building, within a mile or two of the house, in which his great-great-grandson was to first see the light of day. Isaac married Hanna Haight, who bore him ten children. His seventh child, William, through whom the direct line is traced, was born in 1742, William married Jemina 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". In spite of the attractions of "Thorndale", as Jonathan Thorne grew to manhood, he felt the call to a business career, and went to New York City to seek his fortune. Here, he became interested in the leather trade, and before many years, established himself as a successful leather merchant, on Ferry Street, in that section of the city known as, "The Swamp". He was a man of rare judgment and strict integrity. His wife formerly, Lydia Ann Corse, was famed for her gentle loving disposition, and her many deeds of charity. It was in a home surrounded with such influences, that Samuel Thorne grew up. Eleven children were born to this union, but only two sisters and five brothers lived to maturity. Of these seven, Samuel Thorne was the fourth in age.
