* [Elizabeth] [w/o Jacob Tharp]
1Juanita Chafin; gg granddaughter of Wm Lincoln Thorpe., (Chart from Juanita; dated 15 May 1995). Juanita's infomation shows Elizabeth as Orville's mother. If the source for this came from the 1850 census of Jackson Twp, Miami co, IN; this could be incorrect. Jacob Tharp is shown as HH; however; Jacob is only 30 yrs of age. After Jacob's name, on this 1850 census, is Eliza. Her age is given as 44, birth place as Kentucky. She could be the mother of the children in this hh, a very young mother if she were Jacob's mother. However, there is a marriage recorded in Delaware co, IN, 3 Feb 1848, for Jacob Tharp and Eliza Burrows. Also included in this Tharp hh of 1850, is Milton Burouss, age 15 and apparantly, his sister Elizabeth, age 13. (Orville's wife is later shown to be Sarah Elizabeth Burouss) So this Eliza could be the mother of Milton Burouss and Elizabeth, but not of the Tharps, except for Wm., who is age 1 yr. Not knowing if this is where the names, Elizabeth & Jacob, came from as the parents of Orville, I will leave them as such while I continue searching.
