Thrasher Family
William Thrasher and Sarah (last name unknown)
Our Thrasher family emigrated
to America probably from England in the 1760s, possibly
around 1764. At this point, we do not know their town or
county of origin in England. We know from Isaac H.
Thrasher's application for a War of 1812 pension that his
father was named William, although we do not know his
mother's name; other researchers on Ancestry.com have
identified William's wife as Ruth Cloud (although they
state that she was born in Pennsylvania, which seems
unlikely unless she was William's second wife -- cf.
information for Isaac H. Thrasher Sr.).
Most of the information listed below was provided by Dale
Thrasher, who has researched the Thrashers extensively.
