• Notes

  Nancy Tharp was living and marrying in Gallia Co., Ohio about the same time as my ancestor Mary Polly Tharp. It is not known how they are related at this point, though I definitely suspect a relationship. Our current theory is thats the daughter of a James Tharp that shows up in Indiana in the 1830s or is the sister to Mary and youngest daughter of Joseph and (Elcy) Tharp. If the second is true, then Nancy and her husband would be first cousins. (CL-489) It should be noted that the Tharps and Calhouns both came from Iredell Co., NC to Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-489)
