| Notes |
- 12 Dec 2011; http://thorn.pair.com/williamthorne1/d48.htm (Thursday, May 16th, 2019, editor's note: this link is now extinct)
Searched the internet and found a terrific website for "William Thorne" which was rife with information and genealogical data. I was excited because this "William" and our "William" shared the same birth dates and immigration details to the "New World". Alas, within the author's notes I found:
"It is generally believed he came from Dorsetshire, however, there is no evidence to support that. There was another William Thorne, who for a short time, became embroiled in a legal matter in New York. In a statement to the court, this William Thorne declared that he was from Dorset in old England. This William has been proven to be another Thorne. The info regarding our William Thorne and Dorset must stem from this instance. While there are those who feel he may have arrived aboard the English ship THE CONFIDENCE. In fact, there is no William Thorne of record on any ship arriving in Boston during the years of 1635-1638. Many of these early English arrivals travelled under false names as they were fleeing the evils of Charles I and his Star Court. While other ships were limited to a set number of passengers per family. In cases of the latter they would travel with friends or family under their family names."
Still not sure this is the same person as the author does cite common descendants such as, "Denton Thorne", and other DENTON persons...DAH
http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:William_Thorne_%2824%29 cites his death in Jamaica,Queens County,New York...DAH

About William Thorne, of Lincolnshire
SPECULATIVE LINCOLNSHIRE TIES
In Gunby, Candleshoe, Lincolnshire, England there was a family named THORNE. This family was resident here for at least four generations (which is as far as the records permit). They were there at the same time as the Marbury's were in Alford.
GENTLEMAN JOHN THORNE OF GUNBY, CANDLESHOE, LINCOLNSHIRE. ENGLAND:
John Thorne (Gentleman), born 1562-1582 buried 12 June 1621.
John was married to Constance, buried 2 Sep 1617. Their children were:
Cavendish, baptized 25 July 1610 buried 10 June 1611.
John, baptized 3 July 1614 no further record.
William, baptized 31 July 1617 no further record.
Susannah, baptized 4 October 1608 no further record.
As both parents were deceased by 1621, they would have been placed with friends or relatives, presumably in the area.
Gentleman John Thorne's father was FRANCIS THORNE; he was buried in Gunby on 7 October 1601.
Gentleman John Thorne's mother was JANE CAVENDISH; she was buried in Gunby on 3 September 1608.
Francis Thorne had brothers named Richard & Nicholas; their parent's names are unknown and each of the 2 brothers had offspring!!
I have a feeling that this is our William Thorne, be forewarned that there is no clear evidence linking them to us, but the odds look fairly good.
The John Thorne listed above may well be the John Thorne, who left his small estate to Ann Pallgrave. Ann had come to Boston with her stepfather John Youngs. Youngs led a party to New Southold on Long Island and ONE of his colonists was Ensign JOHN BOOTH. Southold is in adjacent Suffolk county to Lincolnshire.
Further Long Island Genealogies speculate that the Francis Thorne, who was in Rye for a short time and went back to Greenwich, Connecticut may well have been another son that went unrecorded of our William Thorne, the Immigrant. This Francis Thorne died in Greenwich, Connecticut 22 Dec 1690, after having lived in both Massachusetts and Rye, Westchester County, New York. He, too, had a flair for religious controversy, but he was in favor of infant baptism.
