cousins of James B. McThurston whose name became Thurston after1903. One surviv
Grace Thurston Lake, only surviving child of James B.McThurston (born at sea--arrived Bangor, ME 1841-46) had cousins in the Northwest who had a fishing boat named for Grace between 1903 and 1930. James had half-brothers and sisters in Minnesota (possibly Wabasha or nearby) prior to 1903 when the Mc was dropped from the name. I would like to make a connection to any (Mc)Thurstons from MN westward to Washington or Oregon.
