Hi Lewis,
I have been researching my Thorp roots as well. My great grandfather was Gideon Cowan Thorp and I believe that he had an uncle named Pleasant Thorp, who founded Thorp Springs, Texas and donated the land for the AddRan College of Thorp Springs. This college later became TCU of Fort Worth. On another site I found someone who had a great grandfather named Pleasant Earl Thorp and I am wondering if there is any relation. Gideon's father was Joseph Lewis Thorp born in Virgina 12-30-1802 and died in Robertson, Texas between 1840-1850. Joseph was decended from James Thorp (born: 4-15-1777 in VA and died: 1868 in Lincoln Co, Tenn.)James was decended from Otha Thorp of whom I have no info. Any info that you might want to share please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] of post it here. Thanks
