Thornburgs from TN

I don't know if this is any connection since I am just getting started.I am a Thornburg from Tennessee.My name is Angela Cheree Thornburg.I have a brother Joshua Daniel Thornburg.My father is Kenny James Thornburg.He has 2 sisters Connie Ruth Thornburg (Berryhill/Wilson) & Tammy Sue Thornburg (Humphreys).He also has 2 brothers Randy Ambrose Thornburg & Shannon Wayne Thornburg.His father is James Barnard Thornburg born Aug. 14th, 1930.James Barnard's father is Lilberty Lee Thornburg who married Zora Mae White.Lilberty's father is Zachary Erara Pondexter White & his mother is Mary Bales.Zachary's father is also named Zachary White.All of the Thornburg's I listed are from Greene Co.Greeneville, TN in Eastern part of TN.I have been told just thru family talk passed down that the Thornburgs originated by a German by the name of Joe (possibly Joseph) Thornburg who was a prisoner during a war (don't know dates or which one or even how far back this goes) that was brought over to North Carolina & eventually released & that's how this line got started.I'm just getting started, though, so that's all the info I have.If you find a connection or have anything I can possibly use, it would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
