Probably a son of John and Hannah Jeffers Thorp. John was likely a brother of Abner and David Thorp - all from NJ.
This from Mark Wentling's Legends website:
"Ebenezer Thorp, born about 1792 in Herkimer Co., New York (according to the 1855 census), was one of the pioneer settlers of Root, Montgomery Co., New York. He is called "Ebenezer Deacon Thorp" in Hardin's History of Herkimer County (1893). A careful study of census returns for the 1800's shows that Ebenezer moved in tandem with a man named John Thorp. Evidence strongly suggests that Ebenezer a son of John Thorp Sr. of New Jersey and Charleston. Since both John and Ebenezer came from Charleston, it is likely that they were also related to Abner Thorp, also from New Jersey, who first purchased land in Charleston in 1790 (Abner's brother David moved from New Jersey to Charleston in 1830).
In 1800, none of the Thorps from New Jersey were enumerated in Montgomery County, though were living there around that time.
In the 1810 census of Charleston, there were three Thorp men enumerated as heads of household: "Ebner," Enoch, and John, of whom the last two were neighbors. In that year, Enoch had no children of Ebenezer's age, so he can be discounted as his father. "Ebner" (Abner) likwise had one son under 10, and one son age 10 to 16. John Thorp was the only head of household enumerated with a son between the ages of 16 and 26, when Ebenezer would have been 18 years old. This appears to be John Sr. in Charleston, since he is of the correct age, and because a younger John Thorp is living in the nearby town of Canajoharie.
Ebenezer married Martha Young 10-24-1824 in Montgomery Co., NY. by Rev Elijah Herrick.
