They are NOT my surnames line, but my grandmother Lanie Mae STOGSDILL's step-father was John Calvin SHARP 1863 Ala-1049 Clay Co, IL Christian Home Cemetery lived Marion, Clay and Wayne Co, IL. also lived Sedro Wooley, Washington a few years. One of his daughters was Birdie Jane SHARP, (daughter of John Calvin SHARP & Rachel SCARBOROUGH) 1894 IL-1945 IL Wayne or Clay Co, IL married 4 Oct 1911 Marion or Wayne Co, IL Oscar U. WALLER. Oscar U. WALLER,( son of Amos M. WALLER and Rachel Ann SCARBOROUGH), 1885 IL-1972 Wayne or Clay Co, IL. Children of Oscar & Birdie SHARP that I know of were Chester Myrle and Gertie Marie. I hope this helps somehow. My own direct line with Christian names, surnames, dates and localities is under the HIMES section of my homepage. http://members.truepath.com/beverly/index.html Beverly (HIMES) BARGER in NM Stan Jacobs wrote: > Saw your reply to Jane..... are you tied to any of the Sharps that > were in Macoupin, Christian counties?
