Elinor Humble Tharp

Other Events:

• Record Change: 12 Apr 2009

Notes:

She was living with her daughter Mary Ann (Prather) Hewitt in the 1850 census.
We are not sure of her last name, other researchers have stated her name as
Unk. I have often wondered if this was short for the word "Unknown" and
was misunderstood by someone reading the old records. G.B.Prather
Other reseachers have reported that her last name could have been Tharpe &
she had Indian in her blood line. I have found no documents that indicate her
last name or blood line. G.B.Prather
