Co, NY. He was born in Father's store building He died on 11 Oct
1884 in New York. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Jerome Ave,
Bronx, NY. He was born in the original Thorne house & general store
close, to the brick Nine Partners Meeting House. In 1820 he went
to New York to work in the dry goods business. There he met & married
Lydia Ann Corse. After returning to Nine Partners, he decided in
1830 that his future was in NY. He went into his father-in-law's
leather business, with his brother-in-Law, Barney Corse. Their offices
were at Jacob & Ferry St. Two years later He bought out Barney's
interest.

They first lived on Cliff Street, then 3 Washington Square, which
was laid out in 1826, then Orchard Street until they made a final
move up town to 524 5th Avenue. Orchard Street, one of the finest
in NYC near the Battery was near the Tannery on Pea Street. In the
1830's only 1/6 of Manhatten was filled with houses & shops.

He was a steadfast Friend with a reputation for honorable dealings
& for extending a helping hand to all good causes. His Tannery prospered,
& men in the market said they would rather buy seconds from Thorne
than firsts from other leather merchants. He bought large tracts
of hemlock land in Pennsylvania, where he established tanneri
