Hi, I'm new to the list, I'm looking for William Sharp/Sharpe born in Ontario Canada about 1839 and wife Frances born in Ireland about 1836, married about 1854 in Blanshard Twp, Perth County, Ontario, Canada. In 1871 they moved with their family to Ludington, County Mason, Michigan, USA. Children: Sarah E. Sharp, b. 1857 Joseph Sharp, b. 1859 John Sharp George Sharp Thomas Sharp Tammy A. Sharp b. 1871, d. Jan 16 1872 in Ludington, Michigan, USA Thank You Lilyan Silver bnl.silver@sympatic.ca

The obit below is from the Daily Advocate, Belleville, St. Clair county, IL. I have on file a letter from the Belleville News Democrat (which the Advocate became a part of in later years) giving me permission to post any item that would be of help to genealogists. Unless stated to be a different state, all references to cities, villages etc. are in Illinois. I have been reading the Advocate on microfilm through inter library loan for several years, having started with 1850. The name of the paper and the paper date are shown at the end of each article. Transcribed and submitted by Nancy Giles Past Grand Master Of Knights Templar Dies At Age Of 88 - Chicago, Dec. 23 - (AP) - William L. Sharp, 88, a Past Grand Master Of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, died today. The Grand Encampment embraces North America. Sharp was grand commander of the Grand Commandery of Illinois Knights Templar in 1912. A 33rd degree Mason for 45 years, he headed the North American body from 1928 through 1931. He was a banker and once headed a glass firm bearing his name. Funeral services will be held in Chicago at 3 p.m. Wednesday. From The Daily Advocate, Belleville, IL Sat. December 23, 1950

Sorry. From upstate NY. Connie

Looking for others researching Sharps in Pa.

Connie are you talking about upstate New York? Or what? I'm from the south and upstate means Dallas to me.Let me know where you are talking about.

Do you have anything on an Albert Sharp from the upstate area? Cannot seem to find him anywhere. Connie

Sure would appreciate a look-up for ESTER or ESTHER SHARP. She married SAMUEL or CHESTER GOULD and was living in Hannibal, Oswego County, NY in 1820. They had 3 daughters under the age of ten, so I'm guessing she would have been born between 1780 and 1790. Samuel died in 1826 and she married (unknown) GREEN and was living in or near Fulton, Oswego County NY in 1846. Thanks, Ann

While looking for my Gladys Sharp in the Library of Michigan's death and marriage records, I came across this marriage record. I hope it helps someone. "License July 11, 1934, married July 31, 1934 in Traverse City. Joseph W. Vogl 24 of Traverse City(TC), b: TC, Occ: Clerk, s/o Dean Vogl and Helen Schumacher. Gladys C. Sharp 26 of Traverse City, b: Lynchburg, OH, d/o James D. Sharp and Pearl Fox. Witnesses: George Eggli of TC and Margaret Reister of Cincinnati"

I have a great deal of information on this family, including their ancestry in Germany and elsewhere. Bill Hull
