I am looking for information on my grandmother: ALMA ELIZABETH (Johnson) SHARP died 9 Feb 2000 Willoughby, Lake, OH Born 4 Mar 1901 Letcher, KY to Sarah (Sexton)Johnson and Arch Johnson. Both parents died while my grandmother was young and she was raised by her sister. Name was possibly Tilly as my mother remembers my grandmother talking about her and mentioning that name. She moved to Willougby, Ohio either after marrying my grandfather GEORGE SHARP or before. I have never gotten info on this. George Sharp has brothers, one of which was Orville who passed away some yrs ago and also lived in Ohio. I have a little more information and would be happy to share it. I hope to hear from anyone that knows of these names soon..Thanks! Be safe! Laura

Looking for place of birth & parents for John Sharp,born 12/31/1804 in Vermont.He later married a Betsy E. Davis from Pennsylvania.We can track down from there,but do not have town of birth or parents.Any information on this would be appreciated.We think his father may have been a John Sharp also,but have no documentation of that. Charlie [email protected]

Sorry, I do not know about New York Indians, but the URL from Shirley looks helpful. Somewhere in there is a link to the National Archives and the other suggestion to LDS also looks promising. Sue

Howard, I am not sure of the origin of Monroe in my gggrandfathers name. He is the son of Mary Ann Sharp (daughter of Samuel Sharp and granddaughter of John Sharp) I am not sure who his father was. Mary Ann married Jonathan TOLLE and changed his name to TOLLE. At some point he changed it back to Sharp. I am wondering if Monroe could have been his fathers last name.??? L.

Indian censuses are separate schedules, not part of the federal census at all. Some can be gotten through Heritage Quest, or the LDS Family History Centers, or from the National Archives, which would have all of them. Karen

The Census for Indians - is it a section of the regular Census, or a separate thing?? Rita

Sue this is Ruth, I have checked the Indian records from Washington(Dawls)or what ever the name of them are but found nothing. However My Motherinlaw says that She and My father inlaw recieved a letter from out in OkLahoma about 30 to 35 years ago that stated or wanted to know if the 4 boys wanted to sign up for something, however she didn't think they would be interested in it so she didn'tmention anything about recieving it to them. Now she doesn't remember what she did with it. What a bummer! If anyone knows of any letters that was sent out about that time would you please let me know.

Laura, Have you tried the Census for Indians. If you were indian or married one you went on this census instead of the regular census. Sue Davis

HI THERE! I too am researching the Sharp family. Your names don't sound familiar to me but my grandfather..George Sharp..had told us that his mother was a full blooded Cherokee as well! I can't find anything on this side of my family either and it's very frustrating. My grandparents lived in Ohio and I know my grandmother was born in KY and her parents died when she was young. Her name was Alma (Johnson) Sharp. I don't know if George lived in KY as well and married her there or if she moved to Ohio and that's where they met. I have heard that George's father's name was George as well. Do you recognize any of this? I don't recognize your names but I think it's interesting we both have Indians in the family. We're all fair skinned and red headed. Hope to hear from you soon! Laura (Sharp) Davis

I am looking for Sharps from S. IL, in particular a Josiah Austin Sharp. Family records say he was born in Alexander Co., IL about 1872. Nothing is known about his parents or siblings. Rumor says his mother, too, was Cherokee, and "very mean". Josiah Austin Sharp married Martha Ann Coberly (sp.?) in Union Co., IL and had 12-14 children (not all survived). One of these kids was Charles Howard Sharp, my husband's father. Martha died (no wonder) in the early '20's and Josiah remarried, (?) to an Ethel Stokes. He made a living as a tinsmith and became quite well-to-do. The family moved to E. St. Louis at some point in time. All the kids left home as soon as possible; Josiah was an abusive father. Several wound up in S. CA. and one in Decatur, IL. Josiah died in E. St. Louis, year unknown. I am trying to find out if the rumors of Native American heritage are true. This is one hard family to trace. Joanne Sharp [email protected] wrote: > HI THERE! I too am researching the Sharp family.
