I'm curious to know if you ever found a connection between Lillie Owens and John Tharp. I had not looked at that family in a while, and had forgotten that Lillie and John Dorman had a boarder living with them on that census. I ran across your message while browsing for info on their son Paul. I would be interested in seeing that "other documentation" you mention. Lillie was my g-grandfather's sister, and I am unaware of any connection between the Owens and the Tharps. Lillie's mother's maiden name was Forgey.
