Solomon Tharp was born on Oct 16, 1750. He died in 1849 in Cass Co., Michigan. He was buried in 1849 Near Cassopolis, Cass Co., Michigan. The cemetery no longer exists. Some graves were removed to Reames-Norton Cemetery, though there is no evidence that that of Solomon was. Nevertheless, a grave stone with adjacent bronze plaques has been installed there by the DAR (about 4 rows from the western boundary and 10 plots in from the southern boundary).
The plaque on the left bears his name and that on the right reads:

Individual Note: [william_tharp.ged]
Thomas was married twice. He married Elizabeth Birmingham Jan 1, 1732 in St. Luke Parish, Queen Ann Co., Church Hill, MD.. Elizabeth was born circa 1714. He married Hannah Horsley 10 Oct 1749 in St. Luke Parish, Queen Ann Co., Church Hill, MD.. Hannah was born Ca. 1714.
Thomas made a will 20 Oct 1760 in Queen Annes Co., MD.. In 1733 Thomas was a tax rateable in Tuckahoe Hundred, Talbot Co., and in 1748 a militiaman in Capt. Robert Goldsbourough's Talbot County Company [1]. Thomas's father willed him the 50 acres of land, part of Colerain, he had purchased from John Jordan in 1735. The will had been written in 1735 and probated in 1752. It appears William lived 13 or more years after he made this will. In the will William gave his wife free use and liberty of this 50 acres in her widowhood and then it would revert to Thomas. It is believed William outlived his wife and Thomas who probably was going to take care of his mother after his father died had in the meantime moved to another county. This complicated the estate settlement and Thomas's older brother John somehow acquired this 50 acre piece of land and eventually sold it to younger brother Isaac in 1755. In the deed to Isaac, it was stated that Thomas had no claim to this land. Thomas was also the only brother who did not to move to Kent Co., DE.

Individual Note: [william_tharp.ged]
Hannah TATE was married to Solomon THARP on June 16, 1774 in Kennett Monthly Meeting, Chester Co., Pennsylvania. (May have been July 16). Meeting record reads, "contrary to discipline, She was disowned by the Quaker church for marrying a Baptist." About 1780, they moved to the Shenandoah area, in Culpepper Co., Virginia near the Rapidan River. They were devoted Baptists and with other pioneers of similar religious backgrounds, emigrated through the Valley of Virginia into North Carolina. About 1799, they moved to Bedford County, Virginia and then moved to Champaign County Ohio, settling at Kings Creek in Wayne Township sometime before 1811 (Solomon was listed as one of 30 electors of the township on Oct. 8, 1811). The Tharps apparently obtained land by warranty or quit-claim deed from Virginia Revolutionary War soldiers who were granted tracts in Wayne County but never moved there. Hannah TATE was born on March 15, 1753 in Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle Co., Delaware. She was excommunicated on July 14, 1774 in Kennett Monthly Meeting, Chester Co., Pennsylvania. The meeting minute read: "Whereas, Hannah Tharp (formerly Tate) hath had a Right of Membership amongst us the People called Quakers but for want of a Strict attention to the Dictates of Truth in her Heart hath So far Erred as to have Carnal knowledge with him that is now her Husband before Marriage and Accomplished Said Marriage by a Magestrate. Therefore for Clearing the Society from the Reproach Such Conduct Ocassions we Account the Said Hannah Tharp no member thereof Until by Repentance and Amendment of life She shalt Condemn her Said Outgoings which that she may Happily Experience is our Sincerest Desire. Given forth by our Monthly Meeting of Kennett held the 14th day of the 7th Month 1774 and Signed by order of the Society.

Abner Tharp married Sarah Bousman on Sep. 1, 1810 in Champaign Co., Ohio. They went to Ohio and then, in October of 1828, went on to Cass Co, Michigan. Abner received word from his brother-in-law, John Reed, as to the "beauties and productiveness" of Cass County, Michigan, inducing him and Nathan Norton to come to better their fortunes. Along with Norton's family and those of Moses and William Reams, they became the first settlers in Jefferson Township of Cass County, building cabins that were "constructed of unhewed logs, ranged one above the other, with notches in the corners into which they interlocked, thus forming a solid wall on three sides, the front being open, and across which was hung a quilt in lieu of boards and a door. The earth formed the only floor of which the cabins could boast, while the roof was constructed of poles, over which was piled sods and earth, through the center of which was left an opening for the smoke to ascend." The following spring the family moved to Calvin Township, but in 1830 moved back to Jefferson Township, first in section 27 and then in section 23. "After a time" he sold out, returned to Ohio and then to Illinois before returning to settle in Brownsville, where he remained until his death. It was perhaps not Illinois, but Iowa, for Abner and Sarah show up in the Calhoun County census in 1855 when both were 65. Sarah Bousman was born on Aug. 8, 1792 in Northwest Territory. "in the fort at North of the Ohio River before the organization of the Territorial Government of Ohio. She died on Feb. 5, 1874. She is buried in Reames & Norton Cemetery, Cemetery St., Cass Co., Michigan.
