Thruston

Thruston of Wellington and Buckland and Virginia
Th13 Malachias Thruston (or Thurston) was born Abt. 1580 in Wellington, Somerset, England. He married possibly x Chamberlain 1605 in Buckland, Somerset, England. She was born Abt. 1584 in Buckland, Somerset, England, and died 1651 in Buckland, Somerset, England. Burial: Parish Church, Buckland, Somerset, England Thruston is a rather unique name and most branches occasionally show the alternate spelling Thurston, as many pronounced it “Thooston”. In the Internet I have found data indicating that there were two separte families in England: ours around the Bristol area usually written Thruston, and one in the North written Thurston.
The steward to William II was named Thurstan le Despenser and another Despenser possibily related was of Buckland, so there is coincidence of area and names that invites suspicion of a connection. There is also the Drury of Thurston line that may have been succeeded by the le Lomb line via the heiress, Alice Drury, and later assumed the name Thurston/Thruston.
Visitors since 22nd March 2009:

It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

 The founder of one Montfort line was Thustan de Bastenburgh. Then there is another Monfort line with a few Thurstans and a Thurlestan in it, who founded the de Lucy family.
The extraordinary height of Henry Clay Thruston also makes us suspect he was a descendant of Ganga Hrolf of Normandy, but there are also maternal lines before him that also probably also lead back to this giant who was so huge no horse could carry him, so he had to walk into his countless battles.
Th12 John Thruston (Th12) of Wellington, Somersetshire was baptized in the Parish Church of Wellington, England, on 8 June 1606, He was Chamberlain of the City of Bristol, England for eleven years and eleven months. He died in 1675 on April 8th, and was buried in St. Thomas' Churchyard on the south side of his 1st wife. Lark Family genealogy shows his middle name as Chamberlain The source of this shows the death of Malachias as 1651 and the same John as 1675, but the grant of arms to John was 1587 so it deals with a different John Thruston, more likely the father or uncle of Malachias: "On the 10th day of Feruary in the 29th year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1587), William Dethick, Garter Principalle, King of Armes, confirmed that John Thruston of Hoxne in Suffolk Co was descended of the family of Thruston of Anderton Lancaster Co was entitled to bear the arms: "In a shield sable, three bugle horns and laces and tassels goulde, garnished asure and to his crest cognizance, a white storke with blue legges, standing on a wreath of yellow and blacke, sett upon a helmit of steele with mantles and tassells of argent and gules ...."

The Tallest Soldier in the Confederacy
By R. L. Flournoy, PhD
Text verbatim: transcribed and sent to me from James K Bryan
"The title "Tallest Man in the Confederacy" went to a soldier named Henry Clay Thruston (sometimes spelled Thurston and pronounced Thooston). Time-Life Books ‘ Gettysburg: the Confederate High Tide referred to a Prussian named Von Borcke as a Giant for the Confederacy at 6 feet 4 inches, but Thruston was more than a foot taller than Von Borcke! The tallest Union soldier during the war was Pat Bane, 22nd Pennsylvania Cavalry, at more than seven feet. At various times in his live, Thruston was referred to as the Tallest Man in the Civil War, North or South, and later in life, The Tallest Man in the World.
"H. C. Thruston was born on May 4, 1830, in Greenville, South Carolina, and his family moved to Missouri just prior to the War Between the States. He had four brothers who were tall also, ranging in height from 6 ft. 6 in. to Henry Clay's height of 7 feet 7-1/2 inches. Some people said he was "only 7 feet 6 inches tall" and others stated he was 7 feet 7 inches. No matter, he definitely qualified as the Tallest Man in the CSA and a giant of a target for the boys in blue!
"Thruston and his four brothers served in the 4th Missouri Cavalry, Company I, throughout most of the war. The 4th Missouri, also known as Burbridge's Regiment, was organized about February 5, 1863, by Colonel John Q. Burbridge with the addition of three companies belonging to Preston's Battalion. Burbridge's Battalion was also known as Burbridge's Regiment of Porter's Brigade. Thruston's unit served in the Trans-Mississippi Department and participated in Marmaduke’s Expedition into Missouri, Price's Missouri operations, and various other conflicts in Arkansas. Thirteen men were causalities at Jenkins Ferry including one of Thruston's brothers. Archival records Thruston present in Arkansas at Yellville, White Oak, Pea Ridge, Poison Springs, and Little Rock. Right before his death in 1909, Thruston told Mamie Yeary, interviewing for her book Reminiscences of the Boys in Gray, 1864-1865: he "was with General Steele operating from Arkadelphia to Camden advancing sixty miles in six days." His rank at the time was private.
"The CSA's Tallest Man appears in the Role of Prisoners of War (POW) of Company I, 4th Regiment Missouri Cavalry, CSA, commanded by Captain George Taylor and surrendered at New Orleans, Louisiana by General E. Kirby Smith, CSA, to Major General E. R. S. Canby, USA on May 26, 1865. Thruston was paroled at Shreveport, Louisiana, in early June 1865. Records indicate he was wounded twice during the War (once grazed by a bullet on top of his head!).
"He moved to Texas and settled in the north-western part of the Titus County/ Franklin County line after the War. He purchased land east of Mount Vernon in 1888, at one time owning one hundred acres. He farmed and lived on his acreage until the latter part of his life. He was living in Mount Vernon when he died on July 2, 1909, and was buried in nearby Mount Pleasant's Edwards Cemetery. Our own December 1909 Confederate Veteran stated the Texas Giant died soon after his return from the Confederate Reunion in June at Memphis, Tennessee. It is also mentioned he attended the Confederate Reunion at Dallas in 1902.
"Area historians have written that during the War on one occasion when the Company was lined up for dress parade, Thruston was standing in the rear line and the Commanding Officer, Colonel Preston, ordered him to "get off that stump!" He gave the command a second time and since no man moved, he drew his saber and declared “I will make you obey orders!" The officer ran right toward Thruston stating, "What are you standing on?" Thruston calmly replied, "I am standing on the ground."
"It is known that for many years prior to his death, Thruston traveled with a circus and was billed in the side shows as The World's Tallest Man. In order to accentuate his height, he wore a tall beaver hat with high top boots and a long coat. One of his acquaintances said that his attire made him look 10 feet tall! In fact, the present writer recently interviewed a 97-year old man who was a neighbor boy of Thruston and remembers him as "a mighty tall, nice fellow." When asked if he remembered "the Colonel" as 7 feet 7-1/2 inches, the local man quickly replied "I bet he was taller that! Nine foot maybe!" In those days and the end of the nineteenth century, one of the big events of a town was a circus parading through the downtown section or town square. It is said when the circus was in one of the Confederate States, Thruston would lead the parade with a Confederate flag over his shoulder, and this was the most popular portion of the parade. When the circus was showing in a Union state, he would lead the parade dressed as Uncle Sam, carrying both the Union and Confederate flags. In his older days he was referred to as Colonel Thruston.
"It is told locally that the Colonel was so tall that he could hold his arms straight out from the shoulder and men could stand under them with derby hats untouched! Another interesting anecdote about the "Giant Colonel" has it that he once was in the company of a much smaller man in the town. On this particular occasion the little man sarcastically quipped, "How's the weather up there, big man?" The colonel responded by spitting on the little acquaintance saying, "It's raining!"
"Although Henry Clay Thruston did not qualify as one of Professor Jay Hoar's The South's Last Boys in Gray, " the Colonel" was noted by Professor Hoar as the Tallest Reb/Confederate soldier! His home with nine foot ceilings near Mount Vernon is preserved as a historical site so designated by the Franklin County Historical Association and eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places by The Texas Historic Commission. The town of Mount Pleasant, Texas where Colonel Thruston is buried is one of those small towns with an old UDC monument still on the town square with a Confederate soldier on top facing north as if looking for an approach of the Yankee Army"
"Dr. Flournoy practices psychology in the small East Texas town of Mount Pleasant and lives within a half mile of the Thruston homestead near Mount Vernon where he is a Charter Member of the Genealogy Division of the Franklin County Historical Association. In addition, he is a member of SCV camp 441, J. M. "Matt" Barton of nearby Sulpher Springs, Texas, and a Delegate to the 1997 Texas Division SCV Convention"
