Louise, I have Miller - Moore in Plattsburg, Winston Co. & my Stuarts (all spellings), Tindol, McCown, and others were on either side of the Neshoba-Winston line near Arlington (Neshoba) & Plattsburg. I'm interested in your Sharp (Sharpe) line. Were any of them in Greene Co., AL before coming to MS? A Mary Elizabeth Sharpe md. Edward Herndon most likely in Spotsylvania Co., VA before moving to Greene Co., AL in abt. 1820's.
