Isaac Thrasher Jr.
and Sarah Cline
We believe Isaac Thrasher Jr.
was one of the sons of Isaac Thrasher Sr., our immigrant
Thrasher ancestor. Isaac was probably born in Washington
County, Tennessee; his tombstone in Clinton County,
Kentucky, lists his birthdate as 28 November 1807. Isaac
married Sarah Ann "Sally" Cline in Hawkins County,
Tennessee on 21 November 1836, according to marriage
records in that county. We have not yet confirmed
Sarah's parents; she may have been the daughter of John
Cline, who lived in Hawkins County at that time.
Isaac and Sarah were enumerated in the 1840 census in
Hawkins County (with one son under 5); we have not yet
located them in the 1850 census. Sometime between 1857 (son
William's birth) and 1860 (census), the family moved to
Clinton County, Kentucky, where they lived with their
children Mary, Jula Ann, Lavina, Malinda, James, and
William; their eldest son Samuel lived next door with his
wife, Catherine (nee Willen) and their month-old son David.
By 1870, Isaac was in neighboring Cumberland County, where
he lived next door to his daughter, Malinda, and her
husband John, in the Carver Precinct. After Isaac's death
on 18 May 1876, his widow Sarah moved in with her daughter
Julia and her husband, Jesse Booher. Sarah died on 6
December 1896; both she and Isaac are buried in the
Davidson Cemetery in Clinton County.
Samuel Thrasher served as a farrier with the 6th and 12th
Kentucky Cavalry and was on the steamship Sultana when it exploded on the
MIssissippi River, killing numerous Union soldiers
returning home.
