In my research on the Sharp family, I find a Crittendon C. Sharp who was the son of John F. Sharp. John F. Sharp was an early founder of Clinton, MO and one of the first judges. Crittendon C. Sharp was born in about 1823 in Whitley Co., KY. The information I have on him is that he married Jane H. Brummit/Brummet 9 October 1846. They apparently had a child, Emily, born about 1849. I have found a Crittendon Sharp living in Cass Co., MO about this time. However, by the 1860 census, Crittendon is living back with his parents in Henry County. What happened to his wife and child? I have run across the Brummit name (various spellings) in both Johnson and Henry Counties, but have not found anyone who can help me with how they relate to one another. If possible, I want to find out what happened to the wife and child and perhaps find out the death date of Crittendon. I have found him on the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census.
