THARP, Vincent. "A native of Virginia, was born in 1760, and bore arms in the cause of his country towards the close of the revolutionary war. His first wife was a Miss Rogers, by whom he had two children, a son and a daughter. During his first marriage he removed to South Carolina, and thence with his second wife, a Miss Persons, to Warren county, in this State. Owing to the hardness of the times, and his being a poor man, he learned the gunsmith's trade, and was said to be a superior workman. Before he entered upon the ministry he acted as a magistrate in his neighborhood. He was baptized into Briar Creek church, Warren county, and was also licensed and ordained there, about the year 1800. He served that church as pastor several years, also Sweetwater and Rocky Creek, in Burke county. Soon after the purchase, which extended to the Ocmulgee river, he removed to Twiggs county, where many of his descendants are still to be found, and who are among the most respectable and wealthy citizens of the county. Among these may be mentioned Rev. Charnick Tharp, a son, and Rev. B. F. Tharp, (now of Houston county,) a grand-son. He was a member and the pastor of Stone Creek church, now one of the most flourishing churches in the State. That church was gathered under Rev. Henry Hooten, who resigned in favor of Mr. Tharp. His labors here and elsewhere were owned of the Lord in the salvation of many souls. To the time of his death he was moderator of the Ebenezer Association. Benevolence and hospitality were prominent traits in his character. He was always "careful to entertain strangers," and his house was the home of God's people, of every name. He delighted in the society of certain brethren, Polhill, Franklin, Ross, Rhodes, Baker, Maginty, Mercer and others, by whom he was frequently visited. He died in 1825, in the triumphs of that faith which he had so long preached to others. His end was peace." Ref: Georgia Baptists : historical and biographical by J. H. Campbell.

WARE, David, Jr. “Among the early settlers of Middle Georgia, was James Ware, who came originally from Maryland, later from North Carolina, and settled in Twiggs County, when that was one of the frontier counties of the State. He was a young man full of energy and ambition, and the country being new, opportunities were not then lacking for the development of the strong qualities of one's nature, and he, in time, from a leading spirit of the frontier, found himself a large planter and a prominent citizen. He represented his county in the State legislature several terms, and was often placed on commission to settle questions as to disputed boundary lines, to condemn property for public use, and to establish highways and the like. One of his sons, David Ware, Sr., is the father of the subject of this sketch. He was born in Twiggs County; has lived there, and in Laurens County, all his life, devoting himself to agriculture, at which he has ben successful, and is now one of Laurens County's good substantial citizens. He married a Twiggs County lady, Evaline N. Glover, daughter of Thomas Glover, who was a descendant of an old Maryland family that came to Georgia about the same time James Ware emigrated there. To this union have been born thirteen children, severn girls and six boys, four of whom are dead. The second older of these boys, David Ware, Jr., is the one whose name is placed at the head of this sketch. He was born in Laurens County, August 29, 1837. He passed his youth on his father's farm, and received a fair school education. In 1878 he moved to Dublin and became interested in the Dublin Gazette, of which he became editor. He devoted the next five years to this paper, and through it has best services toward the upbuilding of Laurens County, and the town of Dublin. He was as successful at this as men usually are at country journalism, but it is a well known fact that country newspaper editors' labors are mostly labors of love. Mr. Ware, feeling that there was something better in store for him, withdrew from this paper, relinquished journalism, and having begun to read law in the meantime, was admitted to the bar in January, 1995, and immediately embarked in that profession. He has been steadily and successfully engaged at the law ever since. He is now mayor of Dublin for a second term, and has taken some little interest in politics generally, but has never been before the people himself for any office. December, 1882, he married Miss Sidney A., daughter of Oran D. Lasseter, of Burke County, Ga., but he had the misfortune to lose his wife in August, 1885. As stated, Mr. Ware has given his entire time to his profession since embarking in it. He believes in the old maxim: "Keep your office and your office will keep you," and when not engaged elsewhere he is usually found among his books.
