• Notes

  There is a John A Tharp found in the Bibb County, Georgia 1830 census. Was a planter/farmer whose property was valued at $3,000 The family settled in DeSoto Parish, Lousianna where most of the children were born before moving to Texas circa 1859. John A Tharp is found in the 1880 census for Denton County Texas, he's listed as a farmer and is without a wife, therefore, Catherine has died by 1880. He has two new sons, born after relocating to Texas in 1859. The 1880 Denton County Texas census tells us John's father was born in Kentucky and his mother in North Carolina. Wolf-Foster Cemetery in in the southwest section of Denton, County Died: According to an interview with Archibald, son of John Allen Tharp, Jr, his grandfather, John Allen Tharp Sr, died at the age of 80 in Denton County after breaking his collar bone. He was helping bring in a load of hay and was sitting on top of the load when they hit a stump and he fell off breaking his collar bone. John Allen Tharp, Sr was born in 1816. His headstone indicates he died in 1896 which would make him 80 at the time of his death.
