My father, Dr. John C. Henthorne lived in Clarksburg for a few years.He lived with my sister, Virginia Graham.He passed a few years ago.Will give details later.Dad was from Pittsburgh, PA.His father was Charles William Ryder Henthorne, a.k.a. Charles B. Henthorne, Jr.My Grandfather took the name of his father, Charles B. Henthorne, when the paymaster made a mistake and printed his first paycheck with his father's name.If my memory serves me correctly, it was Charles B. Henthorne who placed the "e" on the end of our name.He was a Methodist Minister (circuit rider) and did not approve of the rest of the families drinking habits.
