• Notes

  At Ancestry, my mother's descent to Mary Tharp is supported by a DNA Circle that relates 5 participants all back to this same Mary Tharp and inter-relates them to various members in the group. This is evidence that we descend geneticallygh this James Glenn. Mary is listed as Mary in the 1850 and 1860 census and Polly on her gravestone. As Polly was a nickname for many women's names including Mary, I am assuming that her original name was Mary. It was common for the Tharp line to name their daughters Mary and call them Polly. (CL-308) About the same time as our Mary, there were the following Tharps in Gallia Co., Ohio: 1820 Census: Abel (Raccoon Twp.) who married Polly Bruno on Sept 7, 1820; Zaus, Jane Tharp who married William Blagg on Sept 14, 1817, Jesse who married Nancy Stephens on Dec. 30, 1819, and John Tharp (Perry Twp.) who married Harriet Souls on Feb. 3, 1828. Zaus was born in 1804 in Gallia Co, Ohio. He married Mrs. Rachel Calfrey. They moved to Boone Co., Indiana and then Grundy Co., MO. He died there on Sep. 8, 1885. (CL-399) By 1830, the Gallia Co., Ohio census only lists a John Tharp in Spring...Twp. Joseph and his son Abel moved to Tippacanoe Co., IN in 1830. William Tharp is in Tippacone Co., IN by 1840. Zaus is in Boone Co., IN by then also. From the migration pattern through Gallia county, I believe they are likely to be father and brothers of our Mary Polly Tharp. Zaus (also known as Isaias after Joseph's brother?, Esaes or Isaac (after Joseph's brother?) named one of his daughters Mary Polly Tharp. (CL-425, 448)
