harry silverthorn
Hi to all!
Harry Silverthorn is my grandfather's grandfather.As have been recounted to us, he was an orphan who was reared by his aunt.They lived in Kentucky.During the Spanish-American war (1890s), he joined the cavalry that was to be sent to the Philippines.He was assigned in Zamboanga City, in the island of Mindanao.There, he married a native Filipina, Albina Concepcion.Their only daughter, Della Silverthorn-Abarro, was born in 1903 and died in 1999.Della had three children, Carlos (my grandfather), Albina and Domingo (deceased).
I'd really appreciate any bit of information about him.
Also, where did the family name come from? It sounds very American Indian-like, although I do doubt that because he had caucasian features.
Anyway, im hoping to hear from anyone.
Thanks,
---viejay---
