Am looking for descendants(and ancestors) of my gr-gr-grandparents James Peter Tharp and Susan Helm Tharp. James was b. 3 Mar 1844. He married Susan Helm (daughter of Joseph Wilcox Helm and Nancy Washington Mallory) on 7 Jan 1869. James died on 14 Dec 1895. Susan was born on 25 Dec 1848 and died 4 Nov 1930.
