Many ancestors came from Thornbury, England. Immigrant ancestors include (but are not limited to) the brothers, Thomas and Richard Thayer who settled Braintree, Massachusetts; their nephew, Nathaniel Thayer who settled in Taunton, Massachusetts; John and Agnes (Thayer) Briggs who also settled in Taunton; James and Cecily (Thayer) Davis who settled in Haverhill, Massachusetts; Thomas Thayer (1596-1665) and his wife, Margery Wheeler; and Richard Thayer (1601-1664) and his wife, Dorothy Mortimer. In the 1700s, some families settled in Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia. During the 1800s, Thayers moved to Ontario and Quebec (Canada), and to Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Washington, Washington D.C., and West Virginia. Some served in the military, and were missing in action or buried overseas in Belgium, England, France, Italy, North Korea, and the Philippines. Later descendants also lived in Nova Scotia (Canada), Chile, Japan, Thailand, and in Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and elsewhere.
