Thence and from thence are both used to mean from a place or source previously mentioned, as in they intended to cycle on into France and thence home via Belgium; this is not a commodity which can be transported from thence. Some traditionalists maintain that from in from thence is unnecessary, since the word already contains the idea of from, so that effectively you are saying from from there.
