Lyn, None of the dates match our Sharps....I have not connected "Scotland" with our Sharps (at least not directly...a researcher who has helped me a lot, states we are connected to Donavan King of Scotland and Malcolm his son, but I assumed it is from another surname that branches off the Sharps)...and, there are a lot of names that are not familiar in your line.....but....many of the names are also in our Sharp line. Even have a connection to LA. This is our line. Haven't been successful to go earlier than the first mentioned Sharp. Nor, do we know the names of any of his siblings: George W. Sharp b. 1801 TN d. 1897 TX m. Artemesia Acker b. 1810 SC d. 1891 TX. Children: 1. Robert M. Sharp b. 1835 d. bef. 1891 m. M. Nissa Herring b. 1834 AL d. ? LA connection comes from his son, Robert A. and his first wife Dora ( don't know surname) who's place of birth was given as LA in the 1880 Van Zandt Co., Tx census. Her parents were noted to have been born in KY. Robert M.'s youngest son was named Joseph. 2. Benjamin F. Sharp b. 1836 AL d. 1838 AL 3. STEWART A. Sharp b. 1838 AL d. 1900 4. Christopher C. Sharp b. 1839 AL d. 1925 5. George W. Sharp Jr. b. 1843 AL d. 1931 TX 6. Mary Jane (Mollie) Sharp b. 1843 AL d. ? 7. Elizabeth (Betty) Sharp b. 1845 AL d. ? 8. Nancy Ellen (Nannie) Sharp b. 1846 AL d. 1891 TX m. Middleton E. Deason Their daughter Velma Artemesia Deason m. Omer Harris...their daughter m. John Martin 9. Martha Ann (Mattie) Sharp b. 1849 AL d. 1890 TX. I guess that many people used these names during that time. But, it is still possible for your older James Sharp to be a nephew or cousin to our George W. Sharp. Just thought the name simularites were interesting and thought I would share it with you.
