I wish I had more info on the connection between John and Peter.Many people believe Peter (of Meigs Co. TN) is John's son.I have not been able to find definite proof but neither have I found anything to indicate otherwise.Once the North Carolina Quaker Thornsberry's (and variant spellings) moved into TN, they are difficult to trace.Perhaps, they were no longer associated with the Quakers.Peter was born in NC which would seem to connect him to John and the Quaker Thornsberrys.
My gggrandfather, William T. Thornsberry was born Dec 1840 in TN (to Peter and Mary), was married (4-5 times) and died in MO.
