Dear friends,
I was browsing the net and I found this article which taks about a family.
Kindly read it. It is really intersting.
Abraham and Albanah Dod Thornbrough Family
Abraham Thornbrough, son of Benjamin, married Albanah Dod, daughter of Edward and Mary Dod, born 8/24/1757. Their marriage date was 1/10/1776 at Middle Creek, Berkeley County, Virginia. Because age 26 was often the marriage age for young men, as they could be well established by then, we have assumed that he was son of Benjamin and Charity Beeson Thornbrough. Abraham Thornbrough was dismissed for disunity on 5/1/1780 at Hopewell (nonattendance). They apparently did not rejoin the Quakers as there are no further Quaker records.
We believe that Abraham and Albanah had a son Edward, probably born about 1778, and named for Albanah's father Edward. We have been in contact with a descendant of Edward who tells us Edward had a son Abraham Thornbrough, born about 3/1812 in Ohio; married Harriet Boner; and died 10/16/1883 in Warrick County, Indiana. We found this family in Warrick County in 1850 and 1860 and the family came from Pennsylvania though Abraham was born in Ohio. It looks as though he may have gone to Pennsylvania for a bride and then lived there for some time. Still a possibility of course although nothing in the names of the children suggest any connection to Abraham and Albanah.
