Mourning Thorpe

(14 Feb 1818 - 15 Jun 1861)



Platte Co MO, in 1840, p.140, was Zachariah "Tharpe", age 60-70 with another male, age 20-30 and a female age 50-60.
Josiah Thorpe is there [indexed as "Sharpe]. Josiah had 2 males age 15-20, himself age 60-70; 1f 15-20, and 1f 50-60
A younger Zachariah, son of Josiah was next: He was age 30-40, 1f -5, and 1f 20-30.
Next was Tyre Hayden, age 20-30; with a female of the same age.
After Tyree is Thomas Tharpe [Josiah's son, as Zachariah's son Thomas did not leave Kentucky] Thomas Tharpe, as 1m -5, 1m 5-10, himself age 30-40; 1f -5, 1f 5-10, and 1f age 20-30.
Another son of Josiah was present in Platte Co
Squire B. Tharpe: 2m -5, 1m 5-10, 2m 10-15, himself, age 40-50 [he was just about 40]; 3f 5-10, 1f 15-20, and 1f 30-40.


It's interesting that Zachariah Thorpe married Mourning Harris, daughter of Rev. Christopher Harris II and Elizabeth Grubbs. Christopher Harris's grandmother was Mourning Glenn and the given name appears often in the Harris families. Christopher & Elizabeth had married 21 Oct 1776 and moved from Madison Co KY to Simpson Co when it was still part of Logan Co, circa 1816. Another daughter of Christopher & Elizabeth, Nancy Harris, married Zachariah's brother Josiah on the same day in Madison Co, 11 Oct 1799 - the brothers served each other as bondsman, and Christopher did give permission for Mourning to marry as she wasn't yet eighteen. I was sure that Mourning Thorpe must belong in one of these families - online databases indicate Zachariah & his wife Mourning, never named a daughter Mourning, but Josiah and Nancy Harris Thorpe, did indeed have a daughter named Mourning. Finding Tyree and Mourning Thorpe Haden living in the midst of Josiah's family would seem to insure that is her family.
