Joseph Thorne lived a quiet & industrious life. He was fully involved with his farming, faith & his family. Not much apers about him in official records & I speculate that he lived out his entire life much as the rest of the Thorne family just quietly taking care of business, enjoying his family & attending the meetings of the Religious Society of Friends.
