Thomas THURSTON [1] |
- Mr. Thurston was a farmer and shoemaker in Aurora, New York. He was a stern, strong-willed man, a decided Universalist, and deacon of the church in Aurora, a Whig, and after a Republican, a man of character, honored by his fellow-citizens with several offices of trust; served in the war of 1812; obtained leave to go home and make pair of boots, his father taking his place in the army. While at home he heard that his father had been killed by the Indians. he and his brother Daniel immediately started for Buffalo (which had been burned by the British), with two ox teams, and met their father just out of the city. They loaded their teams with ammunition, which had been left by the American army, and carried it to a place of safety from the British. In 1850 he sold his farm and moved to Leoni, where he had a farm of 500 acres; P.O. address, Grass lake, Michigan. [1]
