Birth of a half-sister	Joanna Josephine Wolf 1829 Note: She is mentioned in letters of T. Lenington Thorne in 1830 and is very unlikely to have been born before the death of Abbe's first husband in 1827.

However, her step-brother, T Lenington Thorne, mentions her in letters he wrote in 1830. She is very unlikely to have been born before the death of Abbe's first husband in 1827.

Adoption of a daughter	Abigail Lenington Adoptive parents: John Edmund Thorne + Amanda R. Kissam Adoption: Adopted by both parents Note: The 1850 US Census for New York City lists Abigail Lennington, age 12, as a member of the household of Sarah Lennington, age 105, along with John E. Thorne, age 34 and Amanda Thorne, age 19. The census for that year did not indicate whether household members were related to each other. John E. Thorne was clearly Sarah Lennington's grandson and Amanda Thorne his wife, but Abigail Lennington might not have been a daughter. If she was not John E. Thorne's daughter by birth, however, she was certainly his daughter by adoption, because Sarah Lenningon's will calls Abigail Lennington Thorne her great-granddaughter.

Shared note	US Census, 1850, Brooklyn, 9th Ward lists the following as belonging to the same Household (133) and Dwelling (98) numbers: Sarah Lenington, b. 1745 NJ, Age 105 years John E Thorne, b. 1814 NY, Age 34 years Amanda P. Thorne, b. 1831, Age 19 years Abigail Lenington, b. 1838, Age 12 years John E. Thorne was Sarah Lenington's grandson, so there's a generation missing in the household. John E. Thorne is listed as Amanda and Abigail's father. Amanda P. Thorne married James M. Gray, who was the head of the Moody Bible Institute and wrote some hymns. It appears that he was pretty influential in NY religious circles. Amanda died in childbirth n 1860 at age 29. In 1839, John Edmund Thorne, grandson of Thomas Lenington and his wife, Sarah, was a resident of Brooklyn, New York, aged twenty-four years. He stated then that he had frequently seen the family Bible record of marriage of his grandparents, and that about two years previously (1837) that record had been torn from said Bible by "an heir of his grandfather and an enemy of his children, from malicious motives", but he did not state the name of that heir. No reference was made to another marriage of Thomas Lenington.
Note	Florence Hadley Heynen has DOB 1815
Note	Alexandra Shand reports: John Edmund Thorne (b.1814) died May 2, 1853 NYC. From NY Newspaper Death Extracts, 1801-1890, Barber Collection. There was a politician in NY named John E. Thorne at around the same time, but he is not ours. Researcher beware!
