Biography
William Thorp is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A214155.
Careful research has gone into tracking this particular William Thorp. There were at least two William Thorps in the same area. Henry Co was formed in 1776. William Thorp is on the 1779 and 1780 tax list. [1]
Franklin Co, VA was formed in 1785 and we find William Thorp on the tax list for 1788. [2] He continues to be on tax lists until his death and then his wife pays the taxes.
William's will lists his heirs as William Thorp, Jr, daughters Elizabeth and Polly who were to receive their moiety when they turned 25. [3]
