Can you tell me what time John Sharp was in Greene Co. (Pa. ?). I have a Joseph Sharp born 1780 and I believe in the Westmoreland Co. area.

Do you have the address for UNION COUNTY TN.

Your John and my John are the same way......very illusive!

I think your John Sharp married Martha Loy as the area is full of Loy Sharp and Graves. Go to the Union Co Tn. Web Page. Union Co has a book called "To Loy's Cross Roads" compiled by William G. Tharpe. If Sharp, Graves, Loy descendants are interested in the history ot the area these people were from, this book is well woth what it costs. My husband is a descendant of Henry Sharp, John Graves, Tobias Tillman, that lived in this area. I will see if I have any information on John Sharp.

Hi Raylene, Oh, how I wish it were my John Sharpe! I don't know where my John was before he came to Ulster County and later to Greene County. He is extremely elusive. Rita

Hello: I am in the SHARP bunch that settled in Shelbyville, KY in the very early 1800 or before that . I have lots of info on the bunch in that area. I also have great reason to beleive that some of this family and allied families went on the Tennessee. Do you think we connect? Let me know, Thanks My Mom was Martha SHARP born in Louisville, but her Dad was born in Shelbyville, in 1870's came to Lou, Ky to marry and have family. There is an old SHARP cemetery in the Shelby Co, and lots of SHARPS are buried there. Also, the name William, John, Henry, James, Joshua are over there!

I was wondering if anyone is researching the Keziah Pinion who married May 11, 1779 to a "Sharpe" in Mecklenburg Co., VA? Did this Keziah die somewhere between 1796-1802? Was she married to Mark Sharp of Mecklenburg Co., VA? What was her relationship to Turner Sharp? Would appreciate any clue no matter how small! Thank you! Carol Hurley

Raylene, No, our John Sharp married Nancy Landrum and settled in Chase County, KS. Interestingly, the couple named one of their sons Tom. The family is featured in a history of Chase County, KS, but there are no other Sharp families, other than the descendents of John and Nancy. Thank you for your reply.

Thanks for posting this article. This is my aunt and uncle.

While doing volunteer data entry at our local library in Ontario, California, I came across this wedding announcement, which might be of some interest to someone on this list. Nancy Giles Lyle H.

While doing volunteer data entry at our local library in Ontario, California, I came across this wedding announcement, which might be of some interest to someone on this list. Nancy Giles WORD OF MARRIAGE IS TOLD AT PARTY The "Cat was out of the bag" at the home of Mr and Mrs. John W. Sharp, of 818 Elma street yesterday evening when, at a delightfully arranged affair, formal announcement was made of the marriage in Grangefield, Idaho, June 11, of their charming daughter, Miss Eva Blanche Sharp, to Harry C. Billings of Gary, Indiana. The wedding culminated a romance which had its inception at the University of Idaho while both were students there. Mr. Billings graduated with the class of 1926 while his bride has just completed her junior year. For the ceremony, which was read at 6 o'clock in the evening, the bride wore a smart gray ensemble, traveling frock and white hat. Mr and Mrs. Billings then left for Richfield, Idaho, where they were entertained as the houseguests of the bridegroom's parents, Mr and Mrs. W. E. Billings. After a brief stay there and at Salt Lake City, Mr. H. C. Billings returned to Gary, Indiana where he is employed with the American Bridge company and Mrs. Billings came to Ontario for a visit with her parents before joining her husband in the new home he is preparing for her. Mr. Billings is a member of the Sigma XI and Sigma Tau National fraternities and of the Beta Chi fraternity at the University of Idaho. (I did not copy the comments about the house decorations and party as they included no further genealogical information and were quite lengthy). The Ontario Record, Ontario, California July 14, 1926

Hello Bill and Rita, Was going back through my files and came across your message to the list. I have a John Thomas SHARP who was in morris county, kansas. He married first to Amanda PARKS and second to Eliza WOOD(s). The latter being my ggrandmother. Is this the John SHARP you are working on?

Dear Mary My name is Jan Marchant, I live in Sydney, Australia. I have just received an Email from you addressed to "Bill"! Perhaps it's something to do with the system you have of sending out the same email to all interested parties. However, I do have Sharp(e) ancestors in Lincolnshire and would like to access any information which may be helpful. My maternal great grandfather was Henry Sharpe. From a newspaper article on his elder son's Diamond Wedding (DW), in 1954, I have gleaned that Henry senior died at age 84 and his father died at age 90 in a house opposite the Fox and Hounds at Hundleby - that must have been a long while ago. Henry, my great grandfather had 3 children: a girl c. 1864 who died young from consumption; Henry Mason Sharpe c. 1869 who had the DW at age 85 but died soon after; and Herbert Allen Sharpe on 28.07.1874 who was my maternal grandfather. He died on 04.09.1954 aged 80. The grave is No 1107, O section, Canwick Road Cemetery, Lincoln. His wife, Jane Elizabeth is also in that grave (died 1937) and the ashes of my mother, Winifred Ena Brown. (My father, Harold Walter Woodrow Brown was killed in action in W.W.II and is buried in Holland.) I have my grandfather, Herbert Allen Sharp(e)'s birth and death certs. and note that the "e" was on the birth but not the death and my mother had never used the "e" to my knowledge (but, of course, she had her married name, Brown, anyway - a real beauty to research! - in Suffolk). According to the DW article, Henry senior, my great grandfather, originally came from "near Lincoln" but later moved to the Spilsby area. He was originally a gardener (as was his father) but later opened a bakery shop in High Street, Spilsby. His elder son, Henry Mason, originally a blacksmith, joined his father in the business at some point and took it over on his father's retirement, until his own retirement. He had 2 daughters, one of whom died young. The other daughter, Doris, married Norman Skinner, a potato dealer in Old Bolingbroke. When I was a child in the 1940s and also in the 1950s we visited them sometimes. They lived in Cromwell House, Old Bolingbroke, where Norman Skinner spent his whole life. I am still in contact with their son and daughter. The son still lives in Lincolnshire, the daughter is retired in France and approaching her Golden Wedding. I was bridesmaid at her wedding. She has 2 daughters (who were bridesmaids at my wedding, as their mother was to my mother, a tradition broken when we nicked off to the other side of the world). Both daughters lived recently in the Spilsby area and may still do, although both have had marital difficulties which could have induced a move, but most likely not out of Lincs. Looking back, this all looks very involved but I hope you'll be able to make some sense of it! I am also interested in Mason, my great great grandmother was Jane Elizabeth, or Elizabeth Jane, Sharpe, nee Mason. Also I have a dated tapestry worked by Charlotte Sizer in 1856 at age 13. I was told she was my great, great grandmother. I have already had 2 email replies re Sizer, one of whom has lots of them in the Spilsby area and thinks they are all related - so it's all getting very interesting. Thanks very much for your email and I hope my submission will be of some use, and that we may be able to be of service to one another. Regards Jan

I am trying to research the Sharp line. I have reached a dead end with the parents of William Sharp b. 12/1883 d. 12/l964 who married Hannah baird b.3/1905 d. 2/1973. I think William Sharp's parents were John Sharp 3/1858-8/1923 and Martha Lay 4/1960-10/27. I also have other childrens names as : ALfred, Isom, Oscar, Rachael, Margaret and Lewis. But I can not connect any of children to John & Martha. This line was in the Campbell County Tennesse area in the early 1900's. Any information on the line would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Kathy([email protected]
