What does it mean? Is it an occupational name? Maybe even the sound of drums on the hill? THROME is probably a variation of such. My THRON roots are taking me to PA and MD THROM and THROME families. I have found a deed referencing the orig. 1809 patent of land in Germany Township, now Union Township, was given to John H. Trone Esq.--its ref. is in the index for the patents by Hinkey, Joan=== his name is spelled John THROME. John Trone born 1765's great grandson Cyrus THROM's wedding announcement of 1859 gives more credence to this spelling. Cyrus's paternal family living on this land. Hoping to reach someone who is connected to this branch. It probably will lead to Baltimore. One written history source says that John THRAHN/TRONE born 1765 had a father who was of Scotch descent but from Germany. Glad to hear from any branch of the THROM or THROME clan! Is it true that it is of the clan MACTAVISH , under the tartan of CAMPBELL of ARGYLE in Scotland? Laura (TRONE) Dague fuchsia3@yahoo.com Sincerely, Laura:)
