As far as I am aware, 2143 Coronado Ave. Napa, California 94559-4240 this is the only history of the descendants of Thomas Tharp (or Genealogist MANER L.

"Ruttington," Mispillion Hundred, Kent County, Delaware: John Tharp tht over 180 acres in l/DB PENNSYLVANIA DELAWARE MLT From D. L. Corbitt, Formation of North Carolina Counties, 1663-1943 NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES - 1740-1840 THE THARP FAMILY IN MARYLAND, DELAWARE AND NORTH CAROLINA Current understanding of the history of the Tharp family in Mary­ land, Delaware and North Carolina is based entirely on the careful and extensive research of Robert L. Tharp of Wyoming, Ohio (293 Fleming Road, Cincinnati, OH 45215). Although Tharp forthrightly cautions that some of the more important relationships are not yet proven and many of the dates are still estimates, his conclusions nevertheless order a wide array of known facts while introducing no anomalies, and so inspire confidence that they are a close approximation to historical reality. In the follow­ ing pages attention is focused on the lineage of Thomas Tharp (c.1744 - c.1804), omitting the numerous earlier collateral lines of descent that are covered in the wider scope of Robert Tharp's historical research. A word on the spelling of the surname: the original "Thorp(e)" was alternatively spelled "Tharp(e)" in 17th and early 18th century records, no doubt reflecting its local pronunciation then, and by the mid-18th cen­ tury "Tharp" was the form written by all descendants of the family, though clerks and other record-keepers often wrote "Thorpe," judging this to be correct. Only a few families, certainly unaware of the name's history in this country, changed "Tharp" back to "Thorpe" in the mid-19th century. Surviving provincial records from 17th-century Maryland indicate that Thomas Thorpe came to the province in 1673 (Gust Skordas, ed., The Early Settlers of Maryland, Baltimore 1968, 462): Thorpe, Thomas Liber 17, Folio 463 Transported 1673. In the following year Thomas Thorpe bought land in Kent Co., Maryland (Liber A, Folios 323-29); an abstract of the deed is as follows: April 20, 1674. Jacob Johnson and Hannah his wife to Thomas Tharpe, all of Kent Co., for 4,300 pounds of tobacco and cask, all that par- cell of land called Pentridge "which I bought of Patrick Sullivant and his wife lying on a Creek called Langford bay in the County of Kent beginning at a marked oak standing by the Creek side going un­ to a marked bounded tree of a parcell of land formerly laid out for Thomas Hill and running up the said Creek for 180 perches to a mark­ ed oak and from the said oak north west for the length of 400 perch­ es and from thence Northeast 80 perches, &c., containing 200 acres more or less. Witnesses: Richard Lowder, Ebenezer Blackiston Thomas Thorpe settled in Langford's Bay Hundred, which lay in southern Kent Co. between Chester Lower Hundred on the east and Swan's Creek Hun­ dred on the west; Henry Hosier, Sr., one of the signers of Thorpe's will in 1685, was appointed one of the Constables of Langford's Bay in 1686 (George A. Hanson, Old Kent: The Eastern Shore of Maryland. Notes Illus­ trative of the Most Ancient Records of Kent County. Maryland. &c., Balti­ more 1876, 322, 324). The will of Thomas Thorpe has sufficient points of interest that its presentation in full seems warranted (Prerogative Court. Wills. Liber 4, Folios 233-234, 21 November 1686 [Maryland State Archives S538, Maryland Hall of Records 1284, 1-11-1-6]): In the name of God Amen the tenth day of Nov'ber 1685.

  • Arc, and They Must Be, Under out Form of Government Especially, the Very Foundation of Social and Public Chilracter and Political Prosperity
    112 arc, and they must be, under out form of government especially, the very foundation of social and public chilracter and political prosperity. The matter of inquiry intrusted to your committee ,is specific, and limi­ ted to the subject suggested in the resolution under which they were ap­ pointed. But were their duty more general, it would be impossible upon the pr.esent occasion, to point out the defects in the present system of free schools, and the errors. and imbecility in its administration-or to propose any. particular or partial changes 01• modification. To advance merely theoretical opinions as to a reformation, either in the principles or opera· tion of the system, would conduce to no beneficial or practical result. The subject is too vast to be grasped by the mind, without adequate and labo­ rious investigation. It would require the ptttient exercise of much research and reflection, to obtain a thorough 1,md available mastery of it, without which all suggestions must necessarily be but the crude theories of imper­ fect knowledge. That many arrors and imperfections exist, is almost uni. versally acknowledged;-and all men .will admit, that there is much room for improvement, if ngt an absolute necessity for entire and radical refor­ mation. Your committee believe that the matter of most pressing importance, is to institute a careful and comprehensive investigation into the actual and practical results of the present school system, since the period of its adop· tion. Without this, neither its real value, nor its evils and abu~es can be properly ascertained; and as the object of any change would be strict uti­ lity and the most economical mode of improvement, it is indispensably pre-requisite to begin in the proper ma,nner, and to.understand precisely what is the· disease which is to be remedied.
