Hello, I keep reading this list every day, too, but little pertains to my family. My grandmother, Mary Frances Sharp was born in 1882 inWabash County, Illinois, USA - Her mother, Frances Arrilla Risley was born in 1854 in Wabash County, too. The husband of Frances Arrilla Risley was George William Sharp, born 1855 in Stamford, England. His father was Spencer Sharp, b. 1823 in Stamford, England. Spencer's father was James Page Sharp. Any connections????
