Thor/Thore/Thower -Obion Co. Tenn
These are all variations on the THOR name.Caswell THOR was in Obion Co as early as 1830.This name is often confused as SHORE by the index books, because of the many SHORE families also in Obion Co.He had the misfortune (politically incorrect here!) to have had seven daughters and no sons - the name died out.Perhaps someone is researching EARLIER Thor and can connect.He appears to be the only THOR in Obion County Tennessee.Please contact me (or my sister Pat HARTMAN) if you have any ideas of the origin of the name. Good hunting!
