P.T. is my great-great grandfather. I have attached two articles from The Dalles Chronicle concerning P.T. Sharps death. The first article describes how he was found in his field apparently kicked by a mule. The second tells of his death and provides a brief history. You will have to zoom in on the text to read the articles. Search on Sharp to see where the articles are located on the page. How are you related to the Sharp Family? My mom, Joan Sharp is the daughter of Arthur J Sharp, son of Edward F Sharp, son of P.T. Sharp. My mom and her sister are only children of A.J. Sharp that are alive. I see that Ancestry does not accept PDF files as attachments. You will have to send me your email address outside of Ancestry to see the articles. Are you aware of where Jacob Sharp, P.T's father is buried? I have information on three Jacob Sharps' in a cemetery in upper New York. The Sharps listed and short descriptions fit the family history written by W.H. Sharp, another son of Jacob Sharp. The information below comes from documentation by Anne M. Cady. Apparently she inventoried all the headstones of the Pine Hill (Eel Weir) Cemetery, Oswegatchie, NY. Jacob Sharp, Settled at Sharp's Landing, Hudson River, 1684; Active in Trading (Section 3) Jacob Sharp 2nd, born 1763, pioneer settler, settled at Ogdensburg, 1812 (Section 3) John S. Sharp, born 1810 (Section 3) John H. Sharp, born 1843 (Section 3) Does this information fit anything you have documented? Please feel free to contact me directly, outside of Ancestry so I can send the Chronicle articles.
