William Henry Thornsberry & Sarah Jane Hill

William Henry Thornsberry

1870 U.S. census, Franklin Co. (Ark.) shows Henry, laborer, in house-hold of Abner Moore. A Hill family was also living in the same house-hold, with 17-yr. old Sarah Hill, who became Henry's wife on Aug. 29, 1870.

Homer Thornsberry, Combs, Ark., recalls of brothers Isaac and Henry Thornsberry that "brothers married sisters" - William Henry married Sarah Jane Hill, a sister of his brother Isaac's wife, Mary E. Hill, in Franklin County, Arkansas.
Henry and Sarah lived near her family, according to Homer Thornsberry, until they left Arkansas to go to Washington state. The marriage went bad and they were divorced. Sarah later brought their son, Edward to Henry's home and left him; Henry married, 2nd, Mary Cornett, daughter of Arch & Polly Ritchie Cornett. They lived on the Ira Thornsberry homeplace on West Greasy Creek, Combs, AR.
