These are my guys! Mary

I would like to share this with the Sharp researchers in hopes of helping someone. Augusta Chronicle and Gazette April 29, 1797 Heirs of Henry Sharp deceased (no county of residence given) In advertisement in issue of April 29, 1797. Say they are determined not to pay two notques given by said Henry Sharp in his lifetime to Thomas Young of Georgia, as they have an offset against said notes. Notice signed by: Basil Sharp, Starkey Sharp, John Sharp, , Matthew Sharp and Abner Holliday and Millie his wife. These Sharps were living in Burke co Ga at this time. Some of the boys had already left and went to Tenn. The paper is Augusta Ga. Henry had had most his children in Va. but had moved to Abbeville SC and back and forth from Burke co. John is the only one I know of that stayed in Burke. and raised his family there. Well hope this helps somone. Richard Sharp

Dear Richard, Would you be kind enough to send me a copy of the Augusta Chronicle article of 1797 about Henry and Matthew Sharp Gratefully, Pat Johnson

Does anyone have an e-mail address for Bert, who is researching the Henry Sharp line? Thanks Richard Sharp

I am once again posting this newspaper article to see if anyone recognizes the Sharp family mentioned. I have very little information on them. Peggy Mrs. Rebecca C. Sharp (Dec. 21, 1909) Mrs. Rebecca Chipman Sharp, 87 years old, died Saturday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Thomas C. Buck of 57 Washington Street, East Orange. The funeral took place Tuesday. Mrs. Sharp came from a family all of whom lived to ripe old age. She had been sickly for the last few months. She was the daughter of Samuel Chipman, who served many years in Nova Scotia Parliament. He lived to be 101 years old. Mrs. Sharp's husband died several years ago, and she lived in New York City until three years ago, when she went to East Orange to make her home with Mrs. Buck who is the only one of surviving children. A sister of Mrs. Sharp, Mrs. Primrose, who lives in Sidney, Nova Scotia, is 92 years old and another sister, Mrs. Marshall Shebb, who lives in Massachusetts, is ten years younger. Mrs. Sharp had four great-grandchildren and four grandchildren. I have no information on Samuel J. or I. Sharp except he is mentioned in a Chipman Genealogy as marrying Sarah Rebecca Chipman daughter of Hon. Samuel Chipman and Sarah Pineo Gesner. He is listed in the 1850 census as living in Chelsea Mass. His age is 30. There were three children listed: Samuel born Nova Scotia Rebecca born Nova Scotia Mary Sharp Frederic Sharp Elizabeth Gesner Sharp b. Aug. 11, 1847 Mass. d. Jan. 30, 1940 married Thomas Corner Buck

Bert, I was told by Joe Sharp that you are researching the Henry Sharp line that was in Lawerence co Tenn. I am sure this is part of my line also. This Henry is a brother to my Matthew Sharp. If you would email me I would like to send you a copy of an ad run in the Augusta Chronicle on April 29, 1797. Thanks Richard Sharp

Richard, Do you have anything on an Isaac Sharp, from Vermont, Indiana, Missouri and then Nebraska? His wife was Elinor, possibly Howard, don't know for sure. They are my great grandparents. My grandfather was John Franklin Sharp born in Indiana in 1857. So I am judging Isaac to be born around 1820-1825. Email me personally. Thanks. Jane Harding jharding@redoak.heartland.net

Sgt. Wendy and I are cousins. We need all the help we can get to identify H. E Sharp, our gggrandfather. Thanks for your response.

Reposting my Sharp Line in Pa.: I have Joseph Sharp born 1780 and married to Anna Neely. Both were from Pittsburgh to old Westmoreland Co. area, but they moved to Princeton, now Lawrence Co., Pa. area. We believe Joseph's father was Capt. Andrew Sharp of the RV who died trying to move family to Kentucky. With his death the family remained in the Westmoreland Co. area. Would like to share info. Harry

Did your Sharp family relatives remain in IL.. Barbara

Srg.twd has been looking for them (Hiram & Goolsby) for ages. Wish I could tie them to ours. Our Sharps spent some time in AL before going to LA and coming to TX after the Civil War. Our Francis Marion was born in GA before going to AL. He enlisted in CSA in Natchitoches, LA with his brothers Wm. Baxter & Jackson. Are you related to Davis?

John and Sue, My Sharp line was also in Houston County, Texas. H. E. and Mary Malissa Goolsby Sharp (b. 1839) were the parents of Julia, "Lou" and John Edward Sharp. John Edward was born in 1860. Julia married Sam Wall and Lou married a Weaver. John Edward married Alice Victoria Allen and they had 14 children. Beyond his initials, so far nothing has been learned about H. E. Sharp . We do not know who his parents were or where and when he was born. It is thought by some that the H. stands for Hiram. He has not been found on any census records. Family tradition says that he was murdered in the area of Palestine, (Anderson County) Texas, before 1870. The 1870 Texas census identifies Mary Malissa as a widow. Any help with this elusive Sharp will be greatly appreciated.

Frankie Russell can you tell me more abt the Starky Sharp line? The Starky of Burke county Ga line, he was there in the late 1700s, is the bro to Matthew my 3rd g-grandfather. Can you help me here? Thanks Richard Sharp

Kim and Frankie, What part of TX were your Sharps in? Ours were in GA/ AL/ LA before going to Houston Co TX. Any Connection?

Looking for "cousins" that may have connections to my line - many of the children in this family moved to IL around 1855. Some were known to be in Bureau Co, IL. My g-g-gfr William Larason Sharp, moved to Mt. Vernon, Knox County, OH sometime before 1870 and lived there until his death. Descendants of Morris Sharp 1 Morris Sharp 1796 - .. +Mary A.

Some further information I have is: Henry Winborne came to Hertford Co. from Nansemond Co. VA in 1742 and married Sarah Hare, a Quaker lady of Nansemond Co. VA - some of their children were: William, Thomas and Sarah. Sarah married Starkey Sharp I and some of their children were: Sarah, Elizabeth and Jacob. Jacob married Nancy Hunter, and their 1st son was Elisha Hunter Sharp

I don't think so, but the Sharp's seem to be a slippery bunch! The only line I know is: Henry Winborne came to Hertford Co. from Nansemond Co. VA in 1742 and married Sarah Hare. Three of their children were William, Thomas and Sarah. Sarah married Starkey Sharp I and their children were: Sarah, Elizabeth and Jacob. Jacob married Nancy Hunter - and their son was Elisha Hunter Sharp ----- Original Message ----- From: Kimberly Bourke <4bourkes@home.com> To: <SHARP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 3:56 PM Subject: Re: [SHARP-L] Elisha Hunter Sharp > Frankie: > > My SHARP line was in both Scott and Copiah Counties, MS prior to settling in > TX.
