Thank you for all the info and no I haven't checked in Sharp's Station but I'm about to. I'm sorry I have not heard of "Bunk"....I think that is part of our problem...nicknames! Plus in the south we give our children two names and call them by the second one.....like George Turner...he went by Turner. If I run across anything on "Bunk" I'll be sure and send it to you.

Must have been tall Sharp's....all my uncles are short as was my great uncles. My Grandfather..David Daniel "Tuck" Sharp was also short...but all his brothers and sisters had nicknames! As you can see by the "Tuck".
