Hey cousin, Thats the family. But I have them as brothers. I am the 4th G Grandson of Elender Sharp, sister of Edward Gray Sharp and Elisha Sharp. That would make me the 4th Great-grandnephew of your gg-gf Elisha Sharp. The notes I have for him is that he is the 14 child of John Johnston Sharp and Elizabeth Andrews born in ALA and a quote from another researcher " I have found no records this family in Lafayette Co., MS after 1870. Believe that they possibly moved to AR where their son, Arthur married in 1898." I have not documented any of the information above except for my direct line. I am sure your info of Elisha being born in MS would be correct. I have not pulled census records etc..on them but will to clarify. I am also the 3rd great-grandson of John Albert Sharp (he married a Ward) brother of Elender, Edward Gray and Elisha. So that makes me double related. I have connections to all the surnames you listed.
