Lisa, all that I have are the names of William Henrys parents.I got them off Wm.Henry's Marriage Licenes, He married Rose Anne M. Ham in the state of Illinois,Sangamon County,Small town of Glenarm in 1903. It list his mother as Theresa an his father as John Sharp.No maiden name for Theresa.I left all my papers at our cabin in Illinois, and am doing this from Memory.This family was never discused around my husband an his brothers,because his mother an dad were first cousins.About 40 years ago I had the Asiatic Flu,an was very bad.(They didn't think that I was going to make it, an my father inlaw came to my house an sit with me for several hours.The story he told me(long brfore computers) was that his father was born in Casey Co. an that his mother had carried Wm.Hemry an Mary on her back from Casey Co. to Illinois.I also remembered him talking about being related to the Combest an Callwell or Caldwell familys.It was hard to understand him as he could not wear dentures and had lost all his teeth many years before that. He did say that Theresa his grand mother was Indian.He did not mention any first names.As i said I got them from his dads marriage lincense.How ever when his dad Wm.Henry died he put on his death record that his father was unknown an also his mother.How ever Wm. Henry an Mary had a brother boen in Illinois,Charles Franklin Sharp, who had no children of his own an a step son gave the name of John as his father when he died.And mother unknown.That is all that I know. I do have a picture of Theresa holding a baby that I believe was taken about the time that Wm. an Rose were Married.As she is sitting in a chair that is also in what I have been told was the wedding picture of Wm.Henry and Rose's.We do not know what happened to Theresa as there was a dispute in the Timber camp they were living in an a story that my husband's Aunt Shirley told.Theresa had a very bad temper an got mad at som man there an had his head across a choping block an ready to chop his head off with a axe when she was stopped. It is said that she picked up her Youngest son an put him accross her shoulders an took off down the timber road an was never heard of after that. The son she took with her My father inlaw spoke his name but I can't remember what it was.The son she took with her never contacted the family after he was grown.It is thought that she went to a Indian Reservation in Oaklahoma. This incidence took plase close to the Iowa, Illinois, an Missouri Lines where they come together. This is all that I know. I just wish that someone on the list would reconize this last story as being tokd by the son she took with her an make contact with me.In my mind this child was 5 to 10 years old when she left with him an should have remember what happened the day she left with him.It is said thast she was about 6 foot tall an very strong.

Thanks Ruth, I still don't have any answers to this. My husband's great great grandfather was born in Casey. He later moved to Illinois with his wife and children. They also had children in Illinois. They Son George Sharp later moved from Illinois to Chanute Kansas. I just wish we could figure this out. There are also Combest in Casey County Ky as well as Caldwell.
