Hi, Kevin- I only recently discovered this list, and took a look through the archives. Our Micajah Lewis SHARP and Samuel J. SHARP enrolled at Patoka, IL in Co. F 111Regt. IL Vols.and mustered in at Camp Marshall. Both were captured and held in Andersonville Prison and were transferred to Co. C 48th IL Vols. M.L. (who enrolled under the name Lewis M. SHARP) died at Andersonville, and Samuel returned home. He died just a few years later. The Macon, GA Andersonville Prisoner online search site lists Private S. J. SHARP of Co. F 111th IL Vols.as exchanged on 1 April 1865. For some reason M.L. is not listed on their site under any configuration of his name, though I have records of the Army pension obtained for his orphaned son, Albert Morgan SHARP, which gives the details of his capture, confinement, and death. There are other sons of Micajah & Martha SHARP of Fayette County, IL that I suspect may have also served in the Civil War. By the time the senior Micajah died, in April 1866, his first four sons were already dead, those sons being John, Thomas, James, and M.L. I also have not been able to find anything more on son Francis M. SHARP who was 10 years old on the 1850 census. The Andersonville Prisoner search site lists a Private Francis M. SHARP who was sent to Millen on 11 Nov. 1864, and a Private Francis M. SHARPE of Co. D, Regt. 14 IL who was exchanged 1 April 1865. This may possibly be him, I can't be sure. I'd appreciate a look-up for Micajah Lewis SHARP. His records could also be listed as Lewis M., L.M., or M. L,.and SHARP may also have been spelled SHARPE. He may be listed either under Co. F 111th IL or Co. C 48th IL Inf.
