- The Puritan Great Migration.
William Thorne Sr. migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Mig ration (1621-1640). (See The Directory, by R. C. Anderson, p. 334)
William Thorn migrated from England in 1637 residing first in Lynn, Mas sachusetts Bay Colony then moving to Long Island, settling first in Gra vesend, then Flushing and finally in Jamaica, New York. His eventual re sidence in New York qualifies him for "Beyond New England" status in th e Puritan Great Migration project. He may have been a Quaker late in li fe, as he was a signatory of the "Flushing Remonstrance" of 1657 (see " Colonial Life"). However, not all of the signatories WERE Quakers so Wi lliam's religion is not certain.
His birth is sometimes quoted as 1617 or 1617, likely to make him 21 by t he time he was a freeman of Lynn. However, this status typically indica ted an older man who owned property and was a member of the church with s ome standing in society so likely he was considerably more than 21 in 1 638.
His wife is called Susannah Booth, of unknown origins on wikitree. The w ork of Arthur Eaton cited here[3] proved that her first name was Susann ah, but said her last name was unknown.
In a followup 1965 NYGBR article her last name is stated as "Booth" and h er origin (and their date and place of marriage) are specifically state d as "unknown". Her last name of "Booth" is derived from genealogical w ork done by two genealogists (John Ross Delafield and his father Maturi n Livingston Delafield) who claimed to have had an account of William H allett stating that his alimony payment (to his ex-wife Susan, widow of W illiam Thorn) was to be paid to "Susannah Both". No such name has been f ound subsequently in any original document, but Dickinson holds the Del afields in high regard and gives credence to this statement of Susannah 's original surname.
Her first name (and marriage first to Thorn, then to Hallett) however i s well established by these June 1669 New York court records from the l egal separation of Susanna Hallett and her husband William noting a sub sequent alimony suit where Susannah Hallet's son, Joseph Thorne took an a ctive part.
Torrey in "New England Marriages to 1700" sheds no additional light on t he marriage of William Thorn and Susannah and makes no claim to her las t name.
