Asa Thorp (aka Thorpe or Tharp) is the father of last week's Tombstone Tuesday children, Roswell and Eunice Tharp. He is buried with them in the Old Center Cemetery at North Haven, New Haven, Connecticut. According to Ancient Families of New Haven, Asa was born about 1768 to Jacob and Eunice (Bishop) Thorpe and married Lydia Pardee.

Tombstone Tuesday - Roswell and Eunice Tharp
Stones like this one always both intrigue and sadden me. It is the stone of two young siblings, Roswell and Eunice Thorpe (aka Thorp or Tharp), and is located in the Old Center Cemetery of North Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut. According to Families of Ancient New Haven by Donald Lines Jacobus, they were the children of Asa Thorpe and Lydia Pardee. Based on the information in that series, Asa Thorpe I believe was a first cousin to my 5th great-grandmother, Mabel (Thorpe) Alling.
