I too have an ancestor who was born on the Atlantic. His father had died on the voyage and we have listed his place of birth Atlantic Ocean and his father's place of death as Atlantic Ocean. We don't know what the name of the ship was other than it came into Charleston S.C. in 1789. This was a Craig relation. Not in my Sharp line.

Hi All, Have a question for everyone...and yes, the only stupid question is the one that you do not ask also. Am sending this to all four lists so I can get a "scientific" answer to my question. I have some ancestors who departed Ireland, headed for the colonies. Enroute (middle of the Atlantic Ocean for all I know) these ancestors have a son born to them. Now where is the child's place of birth listed? As the vessel, or the home port of the vessel, or the port that the vessel departed Ireland, or the port of entry in the Colonies, or the lat/long in the Atlantic Ocean (if this was even recorded)? TIA, walt ====================================================== Alexander Hamilton (Federalist No. 28): "If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all forms of positive government."

I would sure like to open these files, but that just isn't safe anymore. Please take my name from the list until you can see a way to send these "inside" your message. I am sure I am missing a lot of good information and wish you could get your info out to the list in a safer mode.

I believe you are. The John you are referring to is the son of John Sharp Jr, son of John and Phyllis Eflund. Thus, the husband of Nancy Landrum is the grandson, not the son, of John Sharp (who married Phyllis Efland).

Dear SHARP List, I thought you might be interested to see an update of my SHARP Family History. You can find it on my website at http://www.megsinet.net/~sharprm/library/sharp.htm The SHARP updates include new info on the family of Noah SHARP (1763-1827). Records of this SHARP family can be found in "Early Church Records of Burlington County, New Jersey; vol 2 Meldrun, 169. Meldun's 3 volumes contains abstracts of Quaker records of Burlington County, NJ. There is also new will info for earlier generations as well as some corrections. Bob Sharp 668 S. 7th St. W.

Where is Lockport? What time frame are you looking for? I'm looking for Sharps from Alexander and Union Counties in southern IL around 1870.

My Sharp family is originally from somewhere in Scotland and came to Coal City, Illinois. Kelso Sharp married Jenny Scott and had 5 children: Andrew, Kelso, Daniel, Agnes and Martha. They moved to Lockport, Illinois. Any connection with these Sharps anywhere? [email protected] (Nanci Sharp)

As I wrote, Edward, father of Anthony, had several brothers in Virginia, and I do not know what happened to them. One was Anthony (the first I guess you could call him) who went to Tennessee. I run across his name occasionally in my research, but I have not had t time to follow his trail and name his children. I will be glad to keep your name with my possible connections and if I find anything get back to you. And you do the same for me. love, joan

I notice this is the same route that my Sharps took. I ask that you help me watch for a Matthew Sharp bn 1776 in Va. I believe his middle name to be Albert or at least I think that the name he went by started with an A. I dont think he used Matthew till his older age. He left Va. some of his stopped in Tenn. I think around Anderson county Tenn. Then he or his family came to SC just across the river from Burke county Ga. Then to Burke, then to Baldwin then finally settling in Stewart county Ga where he died a old man. His wife was named Elizabeth. Her maiden name I think to be Easley, for they named their first son Easley. He had one son Francis J Sharp and I believe a brother Fielding Sharp living in Muscogee county Ga. Francis J died before 1830 and Fielding moved to Stewart county where Matthew , Easley were living. Francis J I think was involved in the slave trade and was in Montgomery Al. a lot and may have married a girl from there around 1820. I would appreciate any help any one can give on this brickwall.

Hi All, Does anyone know if the Ebenezer Sharp who married Miss Letitia Razor on 31 July 1852, by Rev. J. C. Williams of the Abbeville District, SC is the son of Robert Clemons Sharp? Information on the marriage is from ARP Death & Marriage Notices. Thanks, walt Alexander Hamilton (Federalist No. 28): "If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all forms of positive government."

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

My earliest John was born in Hamburg, Germany and his father was supposedly Dutch. This was abt 1802. His son, John P.was born abt 1829 in Halcott Center, Greene County, NYS. Sarah, daughter of John P,married Richard Moore and she died in Luzerne County PA in 1903. Peter, son of John P, died in McKean County, PA in 1894. He also had a son, John, no information as yet.

While doing volunteer data entry at our local library in Ontario, California, I came across this article, which might be of some interest to someone on this list. Nancy Giles Celebrate Silver Wedding At Dinner Mr and Mrs. J. W. Sharp Honored At Affair Honoring Mr and Mrs. J. W. Sharp of 818 Elna street on the occasion of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, their son-in-law and daughter, Mr and Mrs. H. C. Billings, entertained at dinner Saturday evening (16 Nov) at their home, 545 East A street. Silver motif was carried out successfully in all the table appointments for the occasion. The centerpiece as well as the table service was designed in silver and comprised a miniature bride and groom standing on a silver pedestal under an arch of silver ribbon. On the ribbon the number "25" was significant of the occasion. Mixed flowers in autumn colors added to the other rooms of the home. Following the dinner the evening was spent socially. Included in the guests were Mr and Mrs. W. MacIntosh, recently of Lewiston, Ida., and Mr and Mrs. W. H. Lillibridge of Pomona, who have been friends of the Sharps for many years. Other guests included Mr and Mrs. W. E. Billings, Miss Winifred MacIntosh, George MacIntosh, Merlin MacIntosh. Besides Mrs. H. C. Billings, there are four other children of the Sharp's, all of whom were present at the affair Saturday evening. They are Miss Olive Sharp, James Sharp, Joe Sharp, of Los Angeles and Harold Sharp.

Hello Doug, I am curious about a Martha Sharp, age 70, in Coosa Co, AL in 1860. Census says she was born in NC. Other Sharp heads of household in the county at the time are: Martin, age 40 W.J. (Wilburn J.), age 26 Winfield, age 27 (James) Jackson, age 35 These folks came there from Meriwether and Pike Co, GA. Does this have any connection to your NC Sharps?
