Bill, we've corresponded before, but I've never asked you how you discovered this possible connection between Hiram Sharp and the Lessix guy? How sure are you that there is this connection? I thought that if we knew how you made this connection, it might help the rest of us who are researching the same line to piece this puzzle together. As you may recall, I am a descendant of Hiram Sharp, Sr. through his son, Hiram, Jr., and all my relatives were in the Carroll County, GA area. Most of them also owned much land in surrounding counties as well. I've been stumped on Hiram, Sr's parents for years so hope we can all solve this mystery. Thanks for sharing. Margaret Jackson
