Thorne, Stephen and Catherine: 37 doucments
#30 (N1B-13-1840)
Gage Town Queens June 23
I, Catherine Thorn, of the Parish of Canning, County of Queens, aged seventy three years, do swear that in the year 1785 at Hampstead in the County of Queens I was lawfully married to Stephen Thorn who served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War in America, that he was attached to the Regiment of New York Volunteers, that he died in Canning in the year 1838 - that I now reside at Canning...this twenty third day of June 1840...
My connection: In document #31 is the statement "We do certify that Catherine Thorn and Mary Sands are now living in Queens County Gage Town 28 June 1849". I am researching the Loyalist Stephen Sands (a Queens Ranger). He settled in Grand Lake after the war. The Mary Sands mentioned in document #31 (and on almost all of the pension documents that Catherine Thorne is listed on) was the second wife/widow of Stephen Sands. Stephen died in Waterborough in 1830.
I want to find out who Stephen Sands' parents were. His son, also named Stephen, gave his birthplace as Rhode Island on an 1850 census. I suspect my Stephen was the son of George and Jemima Sands of Cow Neck, Long Island. They had 12 children according to their son Edward's 1794 will. Edward Sands died in 1803 in St. John, New Brunswick. 11 children for George and Jemima Sands are listed in "Descendants of James Sands of Block Island" by Malcolm Sands Wilson.
George Sands had a sister named Sybil who married Captain Stephen Thorne, a Loyalist. Stephen, the husband of Catherine Brill, does not seem to be the son of Captain Thorne.
Who were the parents of the Stephen Thorne who married Catherine Brill?
