Shery1,
I hope I'm sending to the right e-mail this time.
I'm not sure which e-mail address to send to you, but I'll try this one.
Sheila I have ancestors who lived in the Scipio, Geneva TWP., Jennings Co.,
IN.
My great great Grandfather and mother's names were William Tharp and Aminty
Parish/Tharp.
They had some family that I knew very little bout.
They were: Samuel H. Tharp (Suppose to have married a Unknown Carson). He
was born abt 1818 Guilford Co., NC. Died before 1906 in Jennings Co., IN.
Lucy E. Tharp B. 24 Nov 1821 Guilford Co., NC. Died 3 Jun 1863 in Indiana,
also maybe Jennings Co., IN. Married a Jesse M. Dixon, B. 22 Jan 1817 in
Jennings Co., IN. Died I think in Jennings Co., IN.
James N. Tharp B. 1826 Guilford Co., N.C. . He came to Jennings Co., but
that's about all I know.
Other children of William and Aminty Tharp were: Rachel L. Tharp married
David Carson.
Robert Tharp I believed was born and died in Jennings Co., IN.
Calvin Tharp born in Jennings Co., IN.
William Frank Tharp born in Jennings Co., IN.
All came and settled in Scipio, Geneva TWP, Jennings Co., IN.
I think Robert, William Frank, and Robert were all civil war veterans from
Scipio, Geneva TWP, Jennings Co., IN.
My Great Grandfather was William Frank Tharp and his wife was Eliza Jane
Herring. There were lots of Herrings from the Jennings Co., area.
They had the follow children:
Joel Tharp B. abt 1854 Scipio, D 2 Sep 1855 Scipio, but I'm not sure where
he was buried (Know very little about him).
Phoebe Tharp B abt 1856 Scipio, D 6 Apr 1860 Scipio, but it's the same for
Phoebe as it was for Joel.
James W. Tharp B. abt 1858 Scipio, D 12 Oct 1865, but know very little about
him.
Elmer S. Tharp B Dec 1869, not sure where born and D abt 1881 not sure
where.
All the above died young.
Others in the family were:
Lydia A. Tharp born in Burnsville, Rock Creek, Bartholomew Co., IN. She
married a Isham K. Johnston. She died in Kansas City, MO. 1914.
Perry Tharp born in Burnsville, Rock Creek, Bartholomew Co., IN. Married
Vina Mary Grabill. He died in Kansas City, KS. In 1914.
Myrtle May Tharp born in Burnsville, Rock Creek, Bartholomews Co., IN.
Married several times, died in Washington State in 1930.
Is there any way if married in Jennings Co. that you could get a copy of
their marriage license. Death Certificates or proof of. Or obits. Or
Cemeteries in the Scipio and Jennings Co. area?
If this is too much just delete what you have to.
Sincerely Jack P. Tharp
