• Biography, 1828, Randolph County, IN. From "The History of Randolph Co, Indiana" by Tucker, page 149:
The White River MM, Randolph Co, IN, Sept. 6, 1828. John and sons William Armfield, Isaac and Curtis were received on certificate from Springfield MM, IN. Also, Susannah and daughters Rebecca, Rachel and Elizabeth.
May 14, 1836, John of Cabin Creek Meeting complained of for "withdrawing from the society and siding in, setting up, and holding meetings contrary to disciplines" for which he was disowned July 9, 1836. Susannah was also disowned.
About 1834 there was a defection in the Hardshaw Preparative under the White River MM. "Rev. John Smith, a U.B. preacher, came into the neighborhood where John Thornburg lived. Upon his preaching, the people liked his doctrine, and a Union Church was formed by Methodists and Friends. Some of the chief members were John Thornburg, George F. Smithson, G. Wesley Terrell, William Moore and John N. Terrell. The log church near the cemetery was built in 1838. The church was thriving while John Thornburg (who was a minister) lived among them. After his death, divisions arose, the meeting house was sold and another erected further south, and gradually the Friends-Methodist Church became a thing of the past."

• Note: migration: IN. John, whose son, William Armfield Thornburg who married Maria Clevenger, came from Ohio to Indiana. His daughter, Matilda, married Maurice Thornburg, grandson on Isaac named above.
