Kathy,

Yes, Thornbury Township still exists. It's a beautiful, historic community
on the western edge of Delaware County. It borders Chester County, as well
as Concord, Birmingham, Edgemont, and Middletown Townships in Delaware
County. Main communities are Cheyney, Glen Mills and Thornton.

Need more info? The early history of Thornbury can be found in Ashmead's
1884 "History of Delaware County" at:
