Bill: John always listed his birth place as Vermont.His children in later documents listed John's birth place as-Vermont/New York/Connecticut or Holland. John's parents birthplace was always listed as unknown.In 1880/1870 John was in Michigan.I have found listings for a John Sharp in many places prior to that. We know he spent time in New York(oldest daughter born there);Ohio,(Several children born there.) One daughter,near the middle lists Michigan as place of birth.I have searched Census records in Michigan;Ohio;Vermont;New York and records in Holland;England and Ireland plus some research in Germany.Nothing that we can confirm is our John Sharp in any but Michigan. I thank you for you response & efforts. I know that in the past we have exchanged e mails.

Hi Charlie, What does John show on the census for his birthplace? What about his children? On 1880 census, what does he show for his parents' birthplace?

Charlie, Here is what I have. Andrew Sharp (b 1790) married Hannah Stedman in 1813. It appears that they were living with her father William Stedman ((mother Mary Pierce) Wm's second marriage) in the census of 1820 in Bennington, Genesee Co., NY. In 1830 Andrew and Hannah had a home of their own and by that time had at least five children. An adult male was living with them and neighbors were Stedman's and Latson's who also were neighbors in Michigan. In 1837 when Andrew Sharp was in his 50's, he moved part of his family to Genoa Twp, Livingston Co., MI. On his death record, the names of Richard and Leah as his parents were listed as living in New York. Andrew and Hannah were thought to have 14 children: Mary Polly Sharp (1815-1852) Lovina Sharp (1821-1899) Fanny J Sharp Sarah Sharp Andrew Sharp Jr. (1826-1915) William Stedman Sharp (1828-1916) Keziah Rosena Sharp (1830-1894) Jonathan S Sharp (1832-1864) Richard Sharp (1835-1864) Siovica (Louisa) Sharp (1839-1930) Lavissa Sharp (1839-1930) Josiah (Desire) Sharp (1842-1922 Hannah Sharp (not confirmed) Andrew Sr. and Hannah share a tombstone in Chilson Cemetery, Livingston Co., MI, which I have seen. Listed on it are their children Sarah, Mary P., Fanny J, Jonathan, and Richard. So these children died before Andrew did in 1869. I have found two references of a Richard and Leah Sharp, which I cannot confirm as being the same family. The first was a IGI record search of the two names which turned up a Richard and Lea Sharp who had two children Andreas Sharpp and Maria Sharppe listed as a christening record 7 Apr 1793 at Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, German Flatts Twp., Herkimer, New York. The second was a birth record of Josiah Sharp to a Richard and Leah Sharp in 27 Jun 1797 in Fredericksburg Twp., Lennox, Ontario, Canada. The web site is http://www.sfredheritage.on.ca/ . As I stated, I have not been able to confirm if this is the same family. If you need any more information, let me know. I am at a standstill. Cheers...

This is probably a long shot, but I can trace my Sharp family living in New York and arriving in Livingston Co., Michigan in 1837. My 3rd Great Grandfather Andrew Sharp (b. 1790), bought land from Josiah Cook Stedman who turned out to be a step-brother-in-law. However, of the two people who witnessed the transaction on Nov. 14, 1837, one was named Betsey L Sharp. I have been trying to identify Betsey (L) Sharp for some time. Middle initial appears to be different from your Betsey. I have no documentation on any of Andrew's siblings, but his parents were Richard and Leah Sharp. Janeen L.

Joan, I feel the dates William went to the Holston was prior to Sept 1782. However, I do not know that for sure. All I really have to go on is a request for pension from his widow. In it she mentions William went to the Holston River after serving several tours of duty during the Revolutionary War. She did not mention going with him. Therefore I'm guessing it was before they were married, which was Sept 1782. Can you tell me anything further about the William you mentioned? Respectfully, Scott L. Sharp

Bill: We have him & family from early 1850's on.Our true problem is John's birth area & parents.None of the documents we have found gives us a traceable birth location. One lists his father as John Sharp.A variety of birth locations on the various documents(Vermont;New York,Ct. & Holland).Most of those from others furnishing that information,like his kids,etc.Myself & others have been searching above locations for years,finding no documentation.Census records,at times seem to give clues,but not proveable as yet.Sebveral family members researching him for almost 15 years. Still a brick wall.Lots of travel and research but no positive results. Thanks for your response. Charles A.

Thanks for the response, Bill. Afraid I haven't had the time or energy yet to try to "jump the pond" and figure out exactly what part of the Palatine my "Sharps" came from. Ginny

Charles, Have you found this family on the census for 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880? If so, let me know and I'll check it out to see if I can help. Bill Hull

My line came from Laubenheim (between Bingen and Kreuznach on the Nahe River - Bingen is on the Rhine). The name was spelled variously as Scherb, Scherp, Scharp, etc., but never Sharfenstein as far as I know. Bill Hull
