Note: An early deeds index (1827) shows that Jno. THORN Senr. gave Jno. THORNJr. property recorded in Deed Book 2, p. 443. Unfortunately that page has been removed from the book (a plat of the town of Occoquan was on the reverse). The surrounding deeds were recorded on 7 Jan. 1805, so we can be confident that is the same date of recording for this deed. It is apparently the 105 acres that John THORN Junior owned from that time. Since John Sr. had no brothers or nephews named THORN (see 1806 deed below), John Jr. would undoubtedly to be his son.
