Susanna Davis1

Family
Father*John Davis2 d. 1720
Mother*Mary __?__2
(Family Member) Name SpellingsSeveral variations in the spelling of the Thornbrough surname found in our research included Thornborough, THORNBURY, THORNBERRY and THORNBRUGH. In some records, an "e" was inserted between "Thorn" and the remainder, spelling the name as THORNEBOROUGH or THORNEBURGH. When speaking the name, the ending was silent, which resulted in all of the different spellings of the name sounding the same to the listener who heard "Thornbro", "Thornburo" or "Thornbra". From the mid to late 1700s, the surname began to appear in our research as THORNBURG or THORNBURGH, the spellings that are still the most common today.3,4
