    1. [SHARP-L] Sharp's in Mass and Nova Scotia
    2. I am once again posting this newspaper article to see if anyone recognizes the Sharp family mentioned. I have very little information on them. Peggy Mrs. Rebecca C. Sharp (Dec. 21, 1909) Mrs. Rebecca Chipman Sharp, 87 years old, died Saturday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Thomas C. Buck of 57 Washington Street, East Orange. The funeral took place Tuesday. Mrs. Sharp came from a family all of whom lived to ripe old age. She had been sickly for the last few months. She was the daughter of Samuel Chipman, who served many years in Nova Scotia Parliament. He lived to be 101 years old. Mrs. Sharp's husband died several years ago, and she lived in New York City until three years ago, when she went to East Orange to make her home with Mrs. Buck who is the only one of surviving children. A sister of Mrs. Sharp, Mrs. Primrose, who lives in Sidney, Nova Scotia, is 92 years old and another sister, Mrs. Marshall Shebb, who lives in Massachusetts, is ten years younger. Mrs. Sharp had four great-grandchildren and four grandchildren. I have no information on Samuel J. or I. Sharp except he is mentioned in a Chipman Genealogy as marrying Sarah Rebecca Chipman daughter of Hon. Samuel Chipman and Sarah Pineo Gesner. He is listed in the 1850 census as living in Chelsea Mass. His age is 30. There were three children listed: Samuel born Nova Scotia Rebecca born Nova Scotia Mary Sharp Frederic Sharp Elizabeth Gesner Sharp b. Aug. 11, 1847 Mass. d. Jan. 30, 1940 married Thomas Corner Buck
