Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Elcy Caroline THARP 
    Born 21 Apr 1844  [1, 2] 
    • Susie Davis Nicholson, p. 83, reports birth date as Apr 21 1844 and death date as 1877. But "Ritchie County Cemeteries," p. 486, reports death date on headstone as Jul 7 1876, with age 37y 2m 18d. That computes to a birth date of Apr 19 1839. In the 1870 Census of Ritchie County she was identified as Elcie C. Brown, age 26, which would correspond to a birth date in 1844. Similarly, her marriage record in Feb 1860 states her age as 16.
