Hello List, I am new to this list and was wondering if there is anyone researching or knows any information about John Sharp who married Margaret Falconer, they could have been from the Stirling, area in Scotland. All I know is that they were my third great grandmother's parents. Her name was Elizabeth Sharp, she married James Ferdinand Douglas Paxton on the 14th September 1855 in Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. Elizabeth was born 17th January 1826 in Stirling, Scotland. I would like to know more about John Sharp and Margaret Falconer. When and where were they married? and who were there parents please. Elizabeth I thik was also known as Agnes Sharp, thats what my great grandfather James Paxton knew her as, as it said his mother was Agnes Sharp on his marriage certificate in 1884. But Elizabeth/Agnes Paxton nee Sharp was deceased by between 1867/1868 in Musselburgh, Inveresk, Midlothian, Scotland. Thank you in advance for any information I might receive. Kind Regards Pamela J Groves Nee PAXTON _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
Was this monument with Christopher Sharp and 2 sons?
Barbara: The world is a small place.The possibility is there that Sarah may be related.I am aware of the many Sharp's in Newaygo County. Most are related. My father and his two brothers were born there.We are going to that county tomorrow.Saturday there will be a rededication of a Civil War Memorial at Ashland Center Cemetery,west of Grant,Mich.Many of the Sharp's are buried there,including four of five Sharp brothers that served in the Civil War.My great grandfather was one of them.We were part of an effort to restore that monument plus one for my great great grandparents(John Sharp that we working on). Meeting us there will be my youngest sister "Barbara." We have done a lot of research in that area;met several distant "cousins" there and filled a lot of empty slots in our tree.A nice community and one we will continue to research. I will look further into your information and see if it fits. Thanks for the response.

Charles, I have a Sarah Ann Sharp, b. abt. 1811 in New York, d. Feb. 15, 1886 in Sherman Twp., Newaygo Co., MI. She m. Orson Artemus David who was b. Sept. 4, 1811 in New York and d. April 8, 1876 in Dayton Twp., Newaygo Co., MI. Both are buried at the Pioneers Cemetery in Newaygo Co., MI. We aren't sure where this family came from in NY, but between 1835 and 1837, they moved to Geauga Co., OH where they were enumerated in 1840. Between 1840 and 1850 the moved to Michigan. They were enumerated twice in 1850, once in Hillsdale Co., and once in Jackson Co., perhaps b/c they lived close to the county line. Orson's brother lived in Branch Co. By 1860 the family had relocated to Newaygo Co. It could be possible that you John was a brother to my Sarah, and Sarah and Orson may have moved to Newaygo because Sarah already had family living there. Do you see a connection? There are many, many Sharps in the vital records and cemetery records of Newaygo Co. Barbara Dean
In the past we've had some discussion on this list about the William N. SHARP found in Patrick Co., Va., in the early 19th century. I have recently been going through Court Order Books and have found the following: Patrick Co., Va., Order Book #3 for 12 March 1829 mentions that Philipena SHARP relinquished her dower rights to the 100 acres of land that her husband, William N. SHARP, had sold to Samuel SHARP 12 Feb. 1829. This makes it likely that William N. SHARP was the same person as the William SHARP who married Philipena FITZGERALD 24 Feb. 1811. William N. SHARP had a son named Leonard. Patrick Co., Va., Court Order Book #4 for 15 Jan. 1835 says: "William CLARK is appointed Surveyor of the road in place of Moses CLARK resigned and it is ordered that the hands assigned the said Moses constitute his gang and keep the same in repair according to law. -- And that Wm. SHARP & son Leonard and John B. HUDSON & his sons be added thereto." Again, in PCVA Order Book #4, April 1835 Court, "Wm. N. SHARP & Leonard SHARP" are mentioned in another road order. Interestingly, this one includes a second William SHARP among those constituting the gang of David ROGERS, newly appointed Surveyor of the road from the "fork of the road near Obediah BELCHERs to Dr. Hudsons...." Possibly the repetition is an error; but possibly this might be a second son of William N. SHARP, since the 1830 Census shows him with one white male aged 10-15 and one aged 15-20 in his household. So far I have found nothing in the Order Books that would explain why Philipena (FITZGERALD) SHARP alone gave permission for the marriage of their daughter Louvenia to Mark PLASTERS 13 Sept. 1836. I have also found no hint of who the parents were of William N. SHARP. However it seems likely that the Leonard SHARP who was co-bondsman with William N. SHARP for the marriage of Veny SHARP to Crawford BURNETT 29 Dec. 1810 was a brother, and that Veny (Louvenia) was their sister. Robert SHARP sold land to both Leonard and William N. SHARP; Leonard later sold his land to the John B. HUDSON mentioned in the road order and William N. SHARP sold his to Robert's son, Samuel. If anyone has info that might clarify these relationships, I'd appreciate hearing from them. Mary C.

Mary C. Smith writes: "So far I have found nothing in the Order Books that would explain why Philipena (FITZGERALD) SHARP alone gave permission for the marriage of their daughter Louvenia to Mark PLASTERS 13 Sept. 1836." The answer is found in the law. Philipena would have had to be a widow in order to give the permission mentioned. Have you found any reference to William N. Sharp, husband of Philipena after that date? This suggests that he died after the April 1835 court date and before this date, absent evidence to the contrary.
I have a Mary PLASTERS; born abt. 1842 in Illinois and died April 1860; married a Nathan H. Handley1837-1864; in Atchison County, Missouri on June 12, 1859. I am also a decendant of Sharp. Do you know who William Sharp's, parents were and if he had any siblings? I am looking for and Isaac Sharp married to an Elinor ?? No dates, but their son's, John Franklin Sharp was born in 1857' William 1859; Daniel 1861 and David 1870. This is the only names that I have so far. My Isaac Sharp was supposed to have originated in Vermont. Thank You. Jane Harding jharding@redoak.heartland.net
Just a short note now, on my way to work. My Sharp family is from Ionia Co., MI. Not far is correct. Maybe my John is your John. I will email you later today.
