Hannah married Thomas AUSTIN on 15 Sep 1690 in Andover, Essex, Massachusetts. Thomas (son of Joseph AUSTIN and SARAH STARBUCK) was born in 1651 in Dover Neck, Strafford County, New Hampshire; died about 1701 in , Talbot, MD. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jane's name is also spelled Oistone. In 1701, Jane inherited 50 acres of "Austin". Her sister, Mary, received an equal share. In 1715, Mary and her husband, John Worleysmith, sold it to Denis Lary. Denis proceeded to sell it in 1717 to William Tharp, husband of Jane. This 100 acre section that was probably Jane's childhood home went to sons John and William who sold it to John Plummer when they moved to Kent Co., DE in 1750.

Jane married William THARP on 8 Jan 1709 in St. Peter's Parish, Easton, Talbot, MD. William (son of Thomas THORPE and Elizabeth (NOT POWELL)) was born about 1681 in Langford Bay, Kent, Maryland, USA; died in 1748 in , Talbot, MD. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: John KELD. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: John WORLEYSMITH. John died after 1715. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1754, John through unknown circumstances, obtained possession of the 50 acres in Talbot Co., MD that were willed to his brother Thomas. In 1755, John sold this same parcel to brother, Isaac. In 1757 Isaac sold it to Daniel Cox. John in listed as a planter in Kent Co., DE in 1751. He lived there through 1755 in Murderkill Hundred. He is next listed in the tax records for Mispillion Hundred, Kent Co., DE from 1756 through 1764. It is conjectured that he died shortly after, as he has not been found in any further records. (CL-322) According to Tharp's 1941 "Genealogy of the Tharp Family of Delaware", John by family tradition lived in Sussex Co., Delaware all his life in a town that is now called Franfurt, but even he acknowledged that there was a John who bought land in 1761 in Kent Co., Delaware that is where his son William a few years later started purchasing quantities of land in. He also stated in this short work considered the Tharp bible that it was tradition that he came from England, possibly even Sussex Co., England before coming to Delaware. More current Tharp researchers do not believe that John came directly from England, but that they came from there a few generations back.

John married Elizabeth JORDAN about 1738 in , Queen Anne's, MD. Elizabeth (daughter of James JORDAN and Barbara) was born about 1720 in Tuckahoe Hundred, Talbot, MD; died after 1756 in Mispillion Hundred, Kent Co., Delaware. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Mary WEBSTER, , possibility. Mary died after 4 Jul 1790. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Thomas was suppose to have received 50 acres of land in Talbot County from his father after his mother died, in William's will dated 1735. However, by the time father William died in 1752 and his wife was already deceased, this 50 acres appears to have gone to son John instead. The circumstances invoking this change are unknown as neither Thomas nor John lived in Talbot Co., Maryland in 1754 when the will was probated or after.

Even though Thomas married in Queen Anne's Co., MD in 1732 and 1749, he appears on the tax lists of Talbot Co., Tuckahoe Hundred in 1733 and in the militia of Talbot Co. in 1748. Unless this Thomas is confused with another in Queen Anne's Co, MD, it is not certain when he moved elsewhere in Maryland.

Thomas married Elizabeth BIRMINGHAM on 1 Jan 1732 in St. Luke Parish, Queen Anne's, MD, USA. Elizabeth was born about 1714 in Tuckahoe Hundred, Talbot, MD; died in Dec 1748 in , Kent, MD. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Thomas married Hannah HORSLEY on 10 Oct 1749 in St. Luke Parish, Queen Anne's, MD, USA. Hannah was born about 1714; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Isaac was taxed in Tuckahoe Hundred in 1733 and in the militia in Queen Anne's Co., MD in Feb. 1748/49. Isaac's family moved to Mispillion Hundred, Kent Co., Delaware in 1757. He lived there until his death in 1783 where his will was probated in that same year.

Isaac married Sarah Margaret UNKNOWN in 1734 in Tuckahoe Hundred, Talbot, MD. Sarah was born about 1713; died after 1755. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Abner was in Capt. Andrew Price's Co. of Queen Annes Co. Militia in 1748/9. He lived in Mispillion Hundred, Kent Co., DE from 1752 to 1760 according to the tax ratabless. He was deeded land in 1759 by Ezekiel Meers.

Notes:

Joseph was in the Queen Anne's Militia along with his brother, Abner, in 1748/9. He lived in Mispillion Hundred, Kent Co., DE from 1753 through 1755.

Notes:

In Feb. 1748/9, Ogle along with brothers John and Isaac were in Capt. John Emory's Queen Annes Co. Militia. Ogle was appointed as executor to his future wife's husband's estate, James Jordan. In 1754 they moved to where his brothers William and John were living, Murderkill Hundred, Kent Co., DE. By 1757, his name is crossed out in the tax records suggesting that he had moved or died.

Ogle married Mary UNKNOWN in May 1751 in , Queen Anne's, MD. Mary was born about 1726 in , Poss Queen Annes, MD; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is in Kent county, Delaware records on Aug 27,1772 with George Fleming and Wm Tharp, then on Jan 12 1775 Wm Luff and Wm Tharp. On May 13, 1772 there is an indenture between Wm Tharp and Ann wife and Thomas Hall and between J Fleming. Samuel Thorp is listed in Kent County, DE with land called New Years Chance. In 1785 he and his son witnessed a land purchase in Troublesome Creek in Guilford Co, N.C.

On October 8, 1794 a William Tharpe bought 150 acres of land from Isaac Duncan and another 60 acres from John Maiden on August 10, 1795 in Iredell Co., NC. He later sold John Maiden's land to his son. In William's will in Will Book I, p. 220, Iredell Co., NC dated Apr. 25 1807, he names wife Mary, sons: William, Joseph, Zedic, Isaac; and daughters: Esther, Armelia Cahoon, Unica, Kezziah, Ann; and grandson: Jesse Tharpe in care of son Isaac. His witnesses are Zedic Tharp, Jurat, and Samuel Wales. Amelia Calhoon and other Cahoon (Calhoon) families can also be found in Gallia Co., OH where some of William's children migrated too. Other Calhoons appear to have married Tharps in Gallia. (CL-452)

William married Barbara JORDAN about 1754. Barbara was born about 1730 in Queen Ann, MD, USA; died before 1763. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

William married Mary PONDER about 1764 in Murderkill Hundred, Kent, DE. Mary (daughter of John PONDER and Alice GUM) was born on 5 Oct 1738 in Maryland or Sussex, Delaware; died about 1816 in , Iredell, NC, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Thomas married Elizabeth PEGG in 1766 in Kent, Delaware, United States. Elizabeth was born about 1749 in Murderkill Hundred, Kent, Delaware; died in Feb 1807 in Maryland, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

YDNA shows that Solomon Tharp and our Thomas Tharp b abt 1640 and is extremely likely to be his descendant. Solomon was born in Woodbridge, NJ and is not a descendant of that Woodbridge Tharp branch as expected. Instead he descended from our Thomas and is expected to have lived in Delaware part of his life where many descendants of the Thomas Tharp of Maryland ended up.

Solomon married Hannah TATE on 16 Jun 1774 in Kennet, Chester, Pennsylvania, USA. Hannah was born on 19 Mar 1754 in Millcreek Hundred, New Castle, Delaware, United States; died in 1835 in Logan, Ohio, United States; was buried in Cassopolis, Cass County, Michigan, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

William was a farmer and bought 100 acres near his father on Hunting Creek close to the Holly Springs Baptist Church. Some of his land still belonged to his descendants in 1980. There is a will probated in 1850 in Iredell Co., NC in Will Book 3, p. 38 available at the NC State Archives that could be his. (CL-318) His estate was sold off on Mar. 27, 1851. There were seven heirs.

Family/Spouse: Rachel RICHARDS. Rachel was born about 1761; died before 1849 in , Iredell, NC, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1785, Joseph and his father, William, witnessed a land purchase when John Heath bought 150 acres M. Cannon on Troublesome Creek. Heath and Cannon were both from Guilford, North Carolina previous to this purchase.

In 1790, Joseph lived in Guilford Co., North Carolina. (CL-429, p. 152) On Jan. 20, 1792 he purchased 200 acres of land that was partially in Guilford and partially in Rockingham Co., North Carolina. In 1793 he purchased 50 acres from his father-in-law, James Calhoun in Guilford. On Nov. 24, 1796, Joseph Tharp of Rowan Co. sold this 200 acres on Little Hogan Creek that was then Rockingham.

By 1800, he is listed in the Rowan Co. census. That census lists him with the following household members: 40010-22010-00. Joseph has not been found with certainty in any census record after that point. It is possible that he is the Joseph Tharp living in Fairfield Co., OH in their 1807 tax lists though not enough info on his has been found to verify this. It is likely that he is the Joseph Tharp in Tippacanoe Co., IN in the 1830, and Clinton Co., IN in the 1850 census due to the alignment of his age, his birth place and his migration pattern. In the 1830 census for instance, he is living next door to sons William, Able and Isaac. Dana Norton found that in the 1850 Clinton Co., IN census, he was 87 years old, born in Delaware. He is listed with Elsey (his wife?), age 84, born in NC and his son, Abel's family. Abel was born in NC about 1795. Next to their household lived Elsey Tharp Bush (age 26, b. Oh) and her husband Adonijah Bush. This is obviously a daughter of Joseph and Elsey. This pattern of migration and birth places would fit - as our Mary did marry in Ohio. The last census he and Elsey are in, is the 1850 Clinton Co., Indiana census. There is a possibility that his wife Elcy died shortly after 1850 and he is the Joseph Tharp who married an Elizabeth Uhler on Feb 28, 1854 in Boone Co., IN. (CL-317h, 419, 425, 547, 599, 600)

Four of his children's birth dates come from a single sheet of paper of unknown origin that recorded their births and is now housed in a folder in the North Carolina University Library, Historical Records Collection, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He had at least one more daughter in the 1800 census records who was under age 10, who was not on this sheet. We can tell from this paper and from a birth date calculation on our Mary Tharp's cemetery stone that this Joseph is the father of our Mary. (CL-317)

There were two other Josephs in North Carolina that could be confused with our Joseph. A Joseph Tharp who was younger than ours, purchased land with Samuel Owens on 12/24/1780 on the Haw River. A slightly younger Joseph Tharp, b. abt. 1772, died in 1839 in Iredell Co., North Carolina. This is likely the Joseph whose estate was probated there in Feb.1840 and who was in the 1830 Iredell Co., NC census. The 1830 Iredell Co., NC Joseph was supposedly born between 1760 and 1770. He was living adjacent to a Hannah H. Tharpe, William Tharpe Sr. and Jr. and Peter Tharpe. I actually believe this to be the Joseph who was b. abt. 1772 and had a son named Peter, but it still could be our Joseph Tharp instead. (CL-427) Joseph, b. abt. 1772, married Mary Harris on Nov. 10, 1791 in Guilford Co., NC according to Bob Tharp who provided all this researched data. There is also a Joseph in Monroe Twp., Darke Co., Ohio in 1840 that needs to be checked.

Joseph married Elsey (Elserman) CALHOUN on 10 Nov 1791 in , Guilford, NC. Elsey (daughter of James CALHOON and Jean \ Jinette JOHNSTON) was born about 1766 in , , VA or NC; died after 1850 in , Clinton, IN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Armilla and her husband were having children in Iredell Co., NC from 1786-1805. (CL-489)

Armeila married Robert CALHOON about 1785 in , Guilford, NC. Robert (son of James CALHOON and Jean \ Jinette JOHNSTON) was born in 1765 in Va Or Nc; died in 1820 in Of Gallia, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1815, Zadoc was named guardian for his mother who was in a "state of lunacy". In 1825, Wm. Cash who was the administrator of Zadock's will, sold 50 acres of Zadoc's land to sister, Esther Tharpe. His estate records were submitted on June 1, 1821 administered by William Cash. His wife, Lurna outlived him.

Zadoc married Leurany PARKER on 18 Aug 1800 in , Rowan, NC. Leurany was born about 1776; died after 1 Jun 1821. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She was not listed in her mother's 1816 estate administration.

Notes:

He was not listed in his mother's 1816 administration.

Notes:

He was given his father's plantation in William's will probated 1807. Isaac lived in Tennessee in 1818 when he sold 190 acres in Iredell Co., NC to Samuel Hayes. He is listed as the guardian of Jesse Tharp, grandson to his parents in his mother's 1816 administration in Iredell Co., North Carolina. (CL-317)

Notes:

Esther was in Will Book I, Iredell Co., North Carolina. She is listed in her will probated 1859 as giving 50 acres to Littleton Hudson for use of his 2 children. If this second hand information in interpreted correctly, it suggests that she never married. She was definitely not married when she purchased 50 acres of her brother, Zadoc's land from his estate disbursement in 1825.
