Joseph Benjamin Thrall

Notes:

Joseph and his father are partners in a large tobacco farm. He attended The Loomis School and graduated from Yale. Joseph is tall, lean and perhaps what we picture as a typical Yankee. He knows the tobacco business and has done well with it, being a large producer of Shade Grown wrapper tobacco. His wife, Marian, takes real interest in both tobacco and cattle and keeps the records. Joseph and Marian have a place in Florida where they spend some time in the winter, but the farm is so beautifully located on the Fannington River, one never needs leave in sunnier. The house overlooks Hoyts Meadow where the first Thrall in America tilled the soil that Joseph is tilling today. The movie "Parrish" depicting the life and growth of Shade Tobacco, was made on the Thrall farm (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0055279/?fr=c2l0ZT11a3xteD0yMHxzZz0xfGxtPTIwMHx0dD1vbnxwbj0wfHE9cGFycmlzaHxodG1sPTF8bm09b24_;fc=1;ft=122;fm=1).

Joseph married Marian H Gilman on 25 Apr 1936 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Marian was born on 1 Jul 1917 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
