Starting
webpages is kinda like buying pizza. If you buy the pizza then you
get to choose what goes on top. Well the same thing goes for Webpages,
when you start one up you also get to choose what goes on top. In
this case the name Thorowgood went at the top. But it could have
very easily have been Garrison or Dukes or Cox or Inglis or Humphrey or
100 other names associated with our family. It doesn't really matter
what's at the top, what matters is what it
represents. In this case it represents our history as far back as
we can research information. We have had genealogists in this family
that have been gathering information for years. There were people
like May Vaughn, Bonita Humphrey and John Harvie Creecy who did it all
without the aid of a computer and somehow managed to keep it all straight.
Others like Marian [Dukes] Thorowgood and Elizabeth [Inglis] Thorowgood
enjoy finding that one little fact that makes a family line complete even
though it drives some of us crazy. Some like Deck Humphrey hit the
road and document an incident or fact right from the source. And
then there are those, like William Robert Thorowgood, Jr., who carry on
the tradition and help to keep the research going into the new millennium.
Most of the information you will soon see here may be of little interest
to you but then there will be that one little item that brings back a memory
that will be important to just you. That's what genealogy is all
about and I hope you get the bug just like us. Once you get it, there
ain't no cure!
We are always interested in hearing from visitors to this site, be they
friends, relatives or strangers. Please feel free to drop us a line
and let us know how you liked your visit.
RESEARCH NOTE:
Paul Treanor, researching for information on work being done on the Thoroughgood House, using Alice Granbery Walter's book, finds that on pg. 156 she states that a whole year (1644) of County Court Records is missing. If anyone has information about these records please contact Paul via e-mail link above,
