Just a coincidence in names I guess?
This Thomas Thornburg was probably born in the early
1770's, Cumberland or Lancaster County, PA. I know from
a Deed of 1803, Rebecca's father John Arbuckle names her
in the Deed as Rebecca Thornburg, so they were already
married probably in late 1790's. Thomas appears to have
been
either a Justice or Registrar of the Mifflin County Court
as his signature appears on many deeds. Another Deed Of
Release in 1819 is signed by both Thomas and Rebecca
Thornburg at the Cumberland County Court thus I assume
they were living in that County on that day and I doubt
they ever made it to Allegheny County.
Nice try and thank you for your info.
