William is listed among the inhabitants of Hempstead in 1673, and as a freeholder in 1685 and had already acquired substantial land there in 1683 as evidenced by a deed from Edmund Titus to "Will Thorne of Madman's Neck" (Queens County Deed Liber A, page 143) His three sons continued to add to the family's property at Great Neck. Their father, possibly in contemplation of death, deeded to his son Richard On February 24, 1698 "All and every parcel of land I have on said Great Neck together with all the houseing." Richard Thorne during the previous year had bought other property.
