Ben,
Found more info on one estate today. Jacob had a will, after all. Probated 1844. Recorded in Will Book 2, page 222. The Lincoln County wills (before 1855) are at the NC Archives. Will check for microfilm at the courthouse in Lincolnton when have a chance to get there. A published index of NC wills did not list one for Lewis Thornburg, so that was probably an estate administration.
Yes, I agree that is probably Jacob born 1812 who married Mary Cloninger. The 1820 federal census, LCNC, page 300, for D. Thronebarger, West of the South Fork of Catawba River, does list two males under 10 (born 1811-1820) - allowing for Jacob 1812 and your William 1817.
Thanks for your reply.
Dan
