Moved to Overton Co. TN about 1808

Sampson Harp was born (according to widow's REV War pension application) in 1758. He moved to Overton county,Tennessee in about 1808, where he died in 1828. (Ron Holley)

I do have a copy of their marriage bond. His name was not James Sampson. It was only Sampson. The bond shows where someone wrote James Harp, and then crossed out the James and wrote Sampson. To begin, English subjects did not have more than one given name. Two or more given names were not used until the Revolution. (Ron Holley)

He died in 1828 in Overton County, Tennessee and she applied for a pension on the strength of his Revolutionary War service. The pension was denied due to lack of verification. All Sampson's contemporaries were dead. She died in August 1849 in Overton County. The only proven child of Sampson was Burton. Sampson lived on Burton's land, and in the 1830 or 1840 census of Overton County, Sarah is living with him. (Ron Holley)
