Thomas Thornburgh (c1690) emigrated to America about 1718, along with his brother Walter, his sister Judith, and his cousin Edward (son of Edward), and settled first at Haddenfield, NJ. Later moved to Chester Co, Pennsylvania, where, in 1739, he was listed as a landowner. He was granted a Certificate from Sadsbury MM in Pennsylvania, to transfer to Hopewell, VA, 5 Mar 1740. He received a grant of land in Frederick Co, VA, in 1752, adjoining Walter Thornburg
Walter Thornburg
(c1707-1783) married Margaret, possibly Ballinger, Beason, or Mills, but no connection
is proven. Those families founded Hopewell in 1734, and remained associated with the Thornburgs
for the next century. Walter was on the tax list of Bradford Twp, Chester Co,
PA, in 1729 as a single man, and in 1739 was living in Warwick, Chester
Co. In 1740/41, he was living on Middle Creek, Orange Co, Virginia (now
Berkeley Co, WV) near his cousin Thomas. He received a grant of 368
acres on the North Run of Middle Creek, (then Frederick Co) 18 Nov 1752. They
attended
Hopewell Monthly Meeting, Frederick Co, Virginia,
whose records are lost. They probably moved to Guilford Co, NC.
about 1754 when the French and Indian War reached the Shenandoah Valley.
Fighting was fierce in North Carolina,1756-58, but largely west of the Yadkin
River, while the Thornburgs settled in (or quickly moved to) east of the
Yadkin. In
January 1757, Walter Thornburg purchased 437 acres on Richland
Creek, now most of the south section of the City of High Point. In August 1762,
Walter was granted 660 acres on Abbotts Creek, in Rowan (now Davidson) County, about a mile east of the
Sappenfield plantation, where Robert Turner
probably lived. The Thornburgs attended New Garden Monthly Meeting until Deep River Monthly Meeting was organized in 1778 and Springfield MM
in 1790. Walter probably died in February, 1783.

Mary Thornburg, born about 1742 in Virginia, was disowned by Springfield Monthly Meeting, Guilford, NC, on 23 Feb 1765, for having married outside the faith, (Henshaw Quaker Records v1, p.577) This was later changed to a censure, and she was readmitted into fellowship. Robert was loyalist in the Revolution, his land was judged confiscated in 1779 and granted to someone else. But Robert was off fighting against the Revolutionaries, and Mary could not be put off the land because Robert had not acquired proper title to it. This land was on Muddy Creek, just south of the Guilford-Randolph County line, and about one mile south of Walter Thornburg's plantation. Mary Turner, and eight other wives of Guilford County, petitioned the Council of Safety at Halifax 12 Oct 1776, to release their husbands, who had been captured. Robert had already been transferred to Maryland. He returned to South Carolina with Clinton's forces in 1780, and fought with the Loyalists. He may have died at Kings Mountain. There is a repot that he survived until he final pay in 1784. There is no record that he returned to his family, and he did not accompany them to Tennessee. See Turner
Mary was certified from Springfield to Westfield MM, Surry Co NC, 1791, and to Lost Creek MM, New Market TN, 1797. She was among the representatives sent to New Garden MM to authorize New Hope MM in 1795. On 28 Feb 1807 Mary Turner was certified to Miami MM in Ohio, but joined Center MM in Clinton Co, 3 miles NE of Wilmington, on 6 June 1807. She is listed in the Census of 1820, next door to James Hickman, and with one male, age between 26 and 45, living with her..
