Marriage	John Thorne — View this family about 1813 (aged 19 years)
Birth of a son	Thomas Lennington Thorne about 1813 Note: Although military records give 1813 as calculated birth year, Alexandra Shand gives 1817. The former date fits with other records. He was employed as a teacher in New York in 1830 and the same year spent many months in Charleston SC as a clerk. These facts suggest that he could hardly have been born after 1813. The US Census for 1830 does not list household members by name but only age range. The record for the household of Elias Wolf suggests that T. L. Thorne was about 20 that year, therefore born about 1810.
