Benjamin Thorne, b. Flushing about 1678, d. 1739 or 1740, m. about 1700 Bridget Hinchman, d/o John and Sarah Hinchman of Flushing.
[Note, the identification of the wife appears to be a mental cramp, as the author then proceeds to say daughter Bridget is living with parents James and Sarah Clement, and Bridget Thorn is named in the will of Sarah Clement. Bridget's sister Sarah Clement married Thomas Hinchman and this may have instigated the confusion.]
