Hello Mary Yes if you have a county and if you have an idea where and if she married & who? Thanks Dianne

I understand that your Sharps were in Pa. at one time. I also note the Nehemiah. I have Joseph born 1780 in the Pittsburgh/old Westmoreland Co. area. One letter in my possession clams that he was the son of Nehemiah Sharp. Do you have anything that ties to this?

I read your message on the reunion. I was wondering if you are related to the sharps. John was my 6th great grandfather. My grandpa told me about him from what he remembered. He mention that the grandma lost all their land and the grandma had to live in a cave with her children until she had a house to live in. How can I find out more on my family. I am looking for information on my family and my grandpa Andrew Jackson sharp. I have martha born in 1765 in Tn and a child William P Sharp born in 1798 iand died 1880. as for other children I do not know of any. Any help I would love to receive. Thank you for your time.

Hi Charles...... I am not sure if there is a connection or not but I do have a couple John Sharps in my line. I have a John Sharp with a spouse Mary......in England (I believe Horncastle Lincolnshire) born around approx. 1780ish. They had a child James Sharp born in approx 1810 (per one record) and christened 16 February 1812. He married Elizabeth Cole (or possibly Catherine Cole) on 18 June 1883 at St. Peter St Paul, Belchford Lincolnshire England. I know James and Elizabeth had another child named Susan christened 09 April 1840. According to IGI there are possibly two other children born to James and Elizabeth....a Mary Ann christened 27 April 1834 and a Charles christened 01 July 1838. All children were christened in Belchford Lincolnshire England.........most likely, though not confirmed yet......at St. Peter St. Paul. James's son John Sharp came to the US in approx 1851......he came in through NY.........met a Hannah Catherine Murphy while there........then set off for Evanston, IL in 1855 where he settled. Hannah would not marry John until he converted to Catholicism.......he finally did, he sent for her and they married in 1857...she moved to Evanston, IL with John. They had a number of children.........James Charles, Edward Anthony, Elizabeth, Hannah Catherine (was a Catholic nun in NY), John Baptist, Joseph (died 5 days after his birth), and Susan (married name was Sullivan). James Charles had a number of children (probably 8 or so.......one was named John Baptist....I believe there were 5 John Baptists in his line). Edward Anthony is my great grandfather and he had 2 children with wife number one....Katherine Salisbury (died when the house caught on fire).....and 16 children by wife number 2, my great grandmother-Catherine Atkinson. All from my Sharp line started in Evanston/Chicago IL areas and most are still there..........however the later generations seem to have spread everywhere. I believe John Sharp (son of James and Elizabeth) is the only child that came to the US. I have a good amount of information on my Sharp line (with a few holes of course) so if you think there is a connection, please contact me at suzyking@aol.com and I will forward you my full genealogy report on them. Good Luck, Suzy

I have a William Sharp, brother to my ancestor Edward Sharp of Botetourt County, VA. William was executor for Edward's will in 1770 and bought land for Edward's sons in the Holston River area of TN which was then part of either VA or NC.

Anyone out there with connections to John Sharp,born 12/31/1804.Died in 1889 in Newaygo County,Mich. Place of birth in question.He married Betsey E. Davis. They had eight children,Harriett(b. 1830);Amos(b. 1832);Milo(b. 1836);Frances(b. 1842);Mary Jane(b.1844);James(b. 1849) and Laura(b. 1851). After several years of research,we have not proven where John was born,or who his parents were.Would love to communicate with anyone who may be able to give a hint.Some people say John was born in Vermont.Some say New York. Some say Connecticut and some say Holland. Some have indicated his father was also a John Sharp.None of these people seem to be able to document place of birth or parentage. Any help would be gratefully accepted. Thanks, Charles A. Sharp(GG Grandson of John & Betsey). csharp@modempool.com

Lisa, Well, I haven't developed anything major, just a few leads I'm looking into w/ the help of the SAR. After I joined the SAR they gave me some more info. From this I developed a theory that William moved to the Holston River area in TN, then part of NC. before he married Elizabeth. He may have moved with his parents - I don't know, but am checking into it. In the last issue of the SAR Maginzine, there was a large article on John Sevier which Elizabeth talks about in her pension request. An author of article is a decendant of John Sevier and has been quite helpful in requesting info. I'm waiting for the response back. But as I started reading the article about John Sevier, I noticed a lot of names that Elizabeth also mentioned in her request for pension. So the bottom line is there is a promising lead being looked into. Respectfully, Scott Sharp

Bill-- An item in your email caught my eye... >>I am also working on the 1710 Palatine family of Jacob Scherp; and have a large amount of work completed on the family of Anna Barbara (Mathess) Scherp, Jacob's sister-in-law, from whom I descend.<< Is this the Sharp/Scherp/Sharfenstein family that arrived in Philadelphia ca. 1734 and settled in Hunterdon Co., NJ? If so, I would be very interested in communicating further with you. Ginny in Seattle

Hi, Esther: One way is to look at the ages of the household. If you have a young man who is, say 25 in the 1850 census, you would look for the household of his father that has a male who is more than 10 but less than 20. Another way is to look in the 1850 census for other persons of that name, then go back to see if one of them has a child in 1840 of the right age. Once you have narrowed down someone you believe to be the father, the next step would be to look at county records (wills, deeds, orphans court, burials, etc.) to see if there are further connections. Then the church records to find baptisms, marriages, etc. I hope this helps. Using these methods I was able to get my Stone family back to 1740 in Bucks County. It took a number of years, and I had to hire a professional genealogist to get the church records for me, since, as you know, I'm in Arizona, but it was well worth it. Priscilla

>A cousin of mine has done alot of research and I have info from him, his info >has nothing on a Gysbert in the family. Can I ask where you find him at? >Thank you for your help >Jenny Yes - in church records compiled by Arthur C. M. Kelly and published in many books. Much of this info is also available on ancestry.com to subscribers. I have begun the arduous task of putting together a complete genealogy of the Andreis Hans Scherp family from which you apparently descend. In so doing, I am using primary records and placing people in families based upon baptisms and sponsors, estate records, and whatever else can be found. I also have partial family descendancies compiled by other researchers to work with. As I stated, this is in the preliminary stages, and Gysbert may or may not be the right parent, but the evidence led me to that conclusion at the time (last summer). I am also working on the 1710 Palatine family of Jacob Scherp; and have a large amount of work completed on the family of Anna Barbara (Mathess) Scherp, Jacob's sister-in-law, from whom I descend. All these families first settled near Albany, New York. Bill Hull 14 Farmer Street Canton, New York 13617

Hi Lister's, I need to find out how I can determine which Samuel Sharp is mine in the Chester Co. census. In the 1850 census I found him in Willistown with his wife and daughter and grandaughter, but the census before that due to the reporting of only the head of house, I'm not sure what procedue is recommended. There doesn't seem to be a Samuel Sharp in Willistown before 1850, but one in London Grove and a couple of other town's, so how do I determine which one is mine? There is also the mentioning of these same fellows in the Ashmead and other historical documents as being in the Civil War. In what manner can I determine which one,again I have looked in the penison records but only a few reported enough info that I could detect weren't mine. Since there are alot of connection between the Sharp, Baker's and Yarnall families of the same local area, my head is spinning on how to disect this. Any suggestions? I'm still trying to make the connection, short by one generation, to whom our family ties into. Is there anyone out there in search of the Sharps in the Delaware or Chester County, Pa area's that might know how to push back that wall just one more time?
