HI, all! This is my first posting. I am trying to sort out Fugates and Tharps in Russell and/or Washington Counties. I have a lot of information, some of it conflicting (and what else is new)? Specifically, I'm looking for information on Benjamin THARP (b. 1820ish) who married Hannah FUGATE. There is a Benjamin FUGATE who married a Hannah DEVERS or WHITELEY. This is his grandfather and for the moment, not the source of my consternation. :) If you have these folks in your line, please contact me. Thanks!! Jennifer L.
