(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.4,5 
Birth*circa 1730Joseph Thornburg was born circa 1730 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.4,2

Edward Thornburgh1

Family
Father*Walter Thornburgh1 b. 1707
Mother*Margaret __?__1
(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.2,3 
Marriage*5 April 1768He married Elizabeth Mendenhall, daughter of Stephen Mendenhall, on 5 April 1768 at a Meeting of Friends, Rowan County, North Carolina. The couple had been given their parents' consent to marry, so were likely under age. Among those in attendance at their marriage were the groom's parents, Margaret and Walter Thornburgh, and his brother and sister-in-law, Henry and Rachel (Moon) Thornburgh.1
