Does anyone know if there exsists transcripts to the St. Martins area Cemeteries other than the McCumber Hill Cemetery that is registered on the NB website? Looking for missing family members names, bpt. dates & burial places of William & Phoebe ( nee Melvin) Sharp family. William Sharp had the land grant with David Melvin at the corner of RR# 111 and the road in Porter Road. Phoebe Sharp was buried Fernhill 1855 but I have not found William's date of death or place of burial. There is mention of a child female in the grant petition . I have other children as John, (Henry,he still has a ? as to proof he was a son ),James, Isaac & Duncan. No name for the female child on the petition and also there is a large gap between her and brother John of at least 7 yrs. John resided 175 Wentworth Street and this was one of the homes destroyed in the Great Fire. He was partner in the building and contractor firm Cassidy and Sharp, Saint John. Help appreciated. Pat

Hi Pat, Your logic is good, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree. I think the William Sharpe (with an e) family moved into Saint John in the late 1840s. I'm distantly related to his wife, Phoebe Melvin. William was "maybe" an immigrant, but "maybe" lived in NS before going to St. Martins, NB. Because they moved "to town," I would expect William died and is buried somewhere in Saint John. My list of children for William & Phoebe agrees with yours, incl. Henry.
