1. | John THARP was born in 1796 in Oh Or Nc; died on 7 Mar 1874 in Urbana, Benton, IA; was buried after 7 Mar 1874 in Kisling Cemetery, Urbana, Benton, IA. Notes:
John is in the 1830 Gallia Co., Ohio census at between the age of 20 & 30 with a wife of the same age. He was having children in Indiana from the 1830's and the mid 1840's. He might be the John Tharp living somewhat near his parents in the 1840 Boone Co., IN census. He had one son at that time under age 5. In the 1840 Boone Co., IN census, he also had a daughter age 10-15, a son age 5-10, a daughter age 5-10, two sons under age 5 and another daughter under age 5 in this census. He and his family are living in Benton Co., IA in the 1860 Fed. Census. Here are their children's birth dates from the 1860 census. "James ? b. l831, Mary Ann b. 13 May 1832 in Gallia Co. OH, Eunice b. Feb 1833 OH, Martin V b.1838 IN, William b. 1839 IN, Harriet b. 1846 IN. In 1870 Federal census John and Harriet are living alone in Linn Co., IA. (CL-425)
John's exact birth date is in question. According to his death record, he died in in 1874 at the age of 78.3 years. This would give him a birth date of abt. 1796. According to the 1830 census though, he would have been born in 1800 at the earliest. Since that is an earlier record, I suspect it could be more accurate, but further census records need checked for his age to determine reliability. If he was born in 1796, it's more likely that he was born in North Carolina as very few settlers were living in Gallia Co., (then Washington Co.), Ohio in 1796.
