Fifth Generation

177. Louisa Jane THARP was born in 1842 in Indiana.

This child was enumerated as Elizabeth, age 8, in 1850 - I believe this was an error and she was Louisa.

Louisa Jane THARP and Zachariah HAMMER were married on 15 December 1859 in Jasper County, Iowa. Zachariah HAMMER, son of Henry HAMMER and Hannah MILLS, was born on 17 January 1839 in Jefferson County, Tennessee. He died on 24 March 1924 at the age of 85 in Kellogg, Jasper County, Iowa.
