  3.   Family Notes, in Unknown Source.

    Margaret Thornburg's grandparent had immigrated in 1710 from County Armagh, Northern Ireland, where they were member of the Lurgan Monthly Meeting. They settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania upon arriving in America and were accepted into membership of the Meeting of Friends there. Her great grandparents and a long line of Thornburgs before them reaching back to about 1380 had been born and lived in Hansfeld, Lancashire in northwestern England; just across the Irish Sea from Armagh.

    Under date of 25th of the 5th month, 1796, John Mills deeded to the Lost Creek Meeting a three acre tract which was used for a meeting house, school house and grave yard. At the first session of Lost Creek Monthly Meeting, "Friends inhabiting about Thomas Marshall's in the head of the Grassy Valley" (across the Holston River in Knox County, TN), requested the privilege of holding a First Day Meeting. This was granted and Grassy Valley became an important preparative Meeting until 1815.

    John and Margaret presented their certificates to to the Lost Creek Monthly Meeting and eventually removed to the Springfield Meeting, settling near Economy, Indiana, in an area known as the "Tennessee Settlement." A goodly number of Scots-Irish came from Jefferson County, Tennessee. The town of Economy was laid out in 1825 by Charles Osborn, noted minister and abolitionist who had removed to Indiana in 1819.
