    Notes:

    Listed in Census for Warren County, NC

    Will on file Chester Cty Book F 1816-17

    Thomas Thorn is listed in the 1790 Census living in Warren County, North
    Carolina. His Will, dated 9 September 1815 is on file in the Chester
    County Court House in Will Book F, 1816-1817. He served during the
    Revolution under General Greene, and participated in the battles at Kings
    Mountain, Eutaw Springs, and Guilford Courthouse. Mary Mobley Reese's DAR
    application #226011 cites Thomas Thorn's service and her descendence from
    him. "Revolutionary Soldiers of Catholic Presbyterian" by Mary Wylie
    Strange contains considerable information on his descendants.

    "Thomas Thorn was born 1735 supposedly in Mecklinburg County, Virginia.
    His place of residence during the Revolutionary War was Warren County,
    N.C. according to the census of 1790. He afterward moved to Rocky Mount,
    Chester County, S.C. where he died after 1800. His will dated Sept. 9,
    1815, with an inventory of the estate made in 1816 is in Chester County
    Will Book F, 1816-17. He did not have a land grant.
    According to Deed Book F page 82 Chester County, S.C. Jonathan
    Hemphill sold to Thomas Thorn of S.C. Pinckney District (now Chester
    County) January 1792, 250 acres of land. This was recorded August 7,
    1797. In Deed Book D, page 67, December 24, 1808, Thomas Thorne sold to
    his son-in-law, Charles Wall, 105 acres on Rocky Creek "where I now live,
    being a part of my plantation." He lived on or near Catawba River
    according to Mill's map of 1825, which has a "Thorn's Mill".
    Thomas Thorn was of English descent and an Episcopalian in Virginia.
    In Chester County he found no church of that faith. He and his children
    were buried in the family half-acres near their homes, as was the custom
    at that time. Some later descendants are buried in the churchyard at
    Catholic and a few are still members there.
    Graham Sandifer,son of Thomas Thorn Sandifer, took down information
    given by his father, who was born in 1818, and was living during the
    lifetime of Thomas Thorn's wife. From this information it would seem that
    Thomas Thorn not only served in the patriotic army but also under General
    Greene and was at the Battles of Guilford's Court House, Eutaw Springs,
    Kings Mountain and other battles." Revolutionary Soldiers of Catholic
    Presbyterian Church by Mary Wylie Strange.
