John Tharp, the last child of John and Elizabeth Tharp was born about 1756, probably in Mispillion Hundred, Kent Co, MD. In 1772, 1774 and 1775 he was a tax rateable there. In 1773 he was lined out which means he was not there. In 1780 there is mysterious x in front of his name. In 1781 there is an O after his name which means he could not be found but apparently owed some tax. A John Tharp of Murderkill Hundred is listed in Harold B Hancock, ed, The Reconstructed Delaware State Census of 1782, Wilmington; 1983. Murderkill Hundred is the next Hundred north of Mispillion. John's father, John first settled in Murderkill Hundred in 1751 before moving to Mispillion in 1757. Sometime in the 1780s John Tharp married and removed to North Carolina where in 1790 he bought land on Rich Fork Creek in Rowan (now Davidson) Co.
Rowan Co Deed Book 13, Page 351, Aug 24,1790:
David Woodson to John Tharp, both of Rowan County, for Pounds 70, 212 acres of land on Rich Fork of Abbotts Creek.
Witnesses: Josiah Tomelson & Samuel Pidgeon. Proved in Aug Court 1793 by David Woodson.
[McCubbins Collection, Salt Lake City Family History Library Microfilm]
John's brother Thomas already had been granted two parcels of land on Rich Fork of Abbotts Creek. The first parcel was entered in 1779 and issued in 1787 and the second entered in 1786 and issued 1793.

On April 22 1804 (Deed Book 21, 75), John sold the Rowan Co. land to a Randolph Co. man for E280, and evidently the family moved to Dearborn Co., Indiana Territory east of the Indian Treaty Line, where John Tharp was a voter in 1809 (Hoosier Genealogist, vol 1, no 4). This region became part of Franklin Co. in 1811, and John Tharp's farm was about 4 miles south of later Brookville. He bought the NE 1/4 section of S8, T9N, R2W on 11 Sep 1811 and the SE 1/4 section of the same section on 4 Nov 1814. His son John Tharp, Jr. moved into Fayette Co., in 1832 joining several other North Carolina Tharp families already living there.

Individual Note: [william_tharp.ged]
William was an influential citizen of the Milford area before the revolution. He owned for a period of time the grist mill at Blair's Pond on the Mispillion.
He was a Revolutionary War soldier and served in a Delaware regiment. This per application for pension.
Notes:
William remained in Delaware and inherited his father's land. A small farm cemetery called The Tharp Family Plot or James Tharp Family Cemetery is located on this land with James, grandson of John and his wife being the first buried there based on the gravestones.
William had many descendants in Delaware two of which became Governor of Delaware, William Tharp born 1803 and William Tharp Watson born 1844. John's five other sons and daughter Mary all lived in Mispillion Hundred and moved to Guilford or Rowan Co, North Carolina from 1778 to before 1790.
Research:
Talbot Co Deed Book 17, p. 331 7 Aug 1750. William and John Thorpe of Kent County on Delaware, Province of Pensilvania, Planters, to John Plummer Sr of Talbot, Planter--condition 6000 pounds of tobacco -- 100 acres, part of "Austin", adjoining "Boston", now in the possession of Grundy Pemberton, amongst the branches of Tuckahoe Creek. Witnesses: Ferry Benson, Thomas Porter. Recorded 8 Aug 1750.
Idem. p. 333 7 Aug 1750. William and John Thorpe acknowledged their deed to John Plummer Sr. before Ferry Benson and Thomas Porter.
Idem, p. 334 7 Aug 1750. William and John Thorpe to John Plummer Sr. -- Receipt of 6000 pounds of tobacco in full. Wit: Thomas Porter
On the tax list of Murderkill Hundred, Kent Co in 1751. John was listed there through 1755, and then in the period from 1756 to 1764 he was on the Mispillion Hundred tax lists. On Jan 4 1758, the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania and counties on the Delaware granted to John Tharp "250 acres of land adjoining a tract called Ruttington in the forest of Mispillion Hundred in the Co of Kent, at a yearly Quit-Kent of 1 penny sterling per acre, dating from Jan. 4 1758. Finally, in 1761 a deed of land from Thomas Summers to John Tharp was recorded (Kent Co Deed Book Q, p. 23). Since notices of John Tharp end in 1764 it seems reasonable to suppose that he died in Kent Co around that time.

Her family in the 1760's became adherents of the Nicholite (Quaker) sect of the Delaware-Maryland border region. In 1778 a number of the Nicholite families including several Pegg families, left Delaware and resettled in southwestern Guilford, Co., NC. Thomas Tharp though not a Nicholite himself, very likely accompanied his wife's kinsmen on this migration.
