Notes for further investigation (2021)

According to Geni.com, which references Lippincott, Elizabeth R. Descendants of Asa R. and Hannah D. Lippincott, 1960. : Thomas and Letitia had the following additional children: Sarah (Thorne) Burroughs, Mary Thorne, Abigail (Thorne) Peacock, and Phillip Thorne.

Geni also lists parents of Thomas Thorne as Joseph and Mary Johanna (Bowne) Thorne. Thomas' siblings are listed as Hanna FIeld, Joseph THorne, William THorne, Mary Jane Shotwell, Susanna Thorne Hedger, John, Abraham, Benjamin, Israel, Isaac, Jacob Thorne and Sara Jackson.

I have not gone to this reference to verify all this material is included in the Lippincott book, nor the sources that E. Lippincott used in her book. Hence, I have not included these data in the fields above. The revisions tab in Geni indicates that modifications in the data have been made by a variety of researchers.
