I have Ritchie County 1920 Census records. His father was Edmund L. Tharp, 51, mother Priscilla also age 51
Morgan 32, Orlando C. age 22 , Alvin age 18, Clifford G. age 16, Dona M. age 13, Bonita age 10 andd Fonda age 7.
Cedric Morgan Tharp is buried at Wilbur Wv and this is the relative Dona was living with in the 1930's when my cousin was born.
I have a marriage record for Dona to Wilma Childers on May 2, 1926 but in 1930 she was living in Parkersburg at a Joseph Johnson residence.
Edwin or Edmund spelled both ways in Ritchie county records, parents were, Ebenezer and Amanda (Wass) Tharp
Ebenezer was the son of Timothy, and Timothy was the son of H. Benjamin Tharp who was Irish and was a ship builder and carpenter. Benjamin died when Timothy was young and Timothy was bound out to strangers. I have more details if you would like to e-mail [email protected].
I hope you are a relative of this Dona Tharp, I would love to tell my cousin who will be 70 on JUne 4th, that I found family of her biological father. She just wants to know about him. She's waited a long time, I hate to think that it's been too long. Hope you can help, Peggy.
