GEORGE WILLIAM THORNHILL (1828-1893)
George William Thornhill, son of Joshua T. Thornhill and Judith Reveley, was born in
Campbell County, near Concord Depot, 27 June 1828. After graduating from the medical
department of the University of Virginia in 1847, he began his medical practice at Campbell
Courthouse (now Rustburg, Virginia) in 1851.
On 16 November 1854, George W. Thornhill married Cornelia Lucy Bibb, daughter of
William A. Bibb and Sarah Bramham of Albemarle County, Virginia. They moved to Concord
Depot in 1855 where he remained until 1861. During the Civil War, he served as surgeon of the
11th Virginia Regiment of Infantry for one year and was then transferred to the hospitals in
Lynchburg and cared for large numbers of sick and wounded soldiers. After the war, he returned
to his farm at Concord Depot and resumed the practice of medicine.
In May, 1874, Dr. Thornhill moved to Lynchburg and was associated with Dr. D. E.
Bass, who had come from Campbell Court House for that purpose. Following the death of Dr.
Bass in 1886, Dr. Thornhill continued his medical practice until his death on 6 January 1893. He
was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery in Lynchburg.
