John and Sue, My Sharp line was also in Houston County, Texas. H. E. and Mary Malissa Goolsby Sharp (b. 1839) were the parents of Julia, "Lou" and John Edward Sharp. John Edward was born in 1860. Julia married Sam Wall and Lou married a Weaver. John Edward married Alice Victoria Allen and they had 14 children. Beyond his initials, so far nothing has been learned about H. E. Sharp . We do not know who his parents were or where and when he was born. It is thought by some that the H. stands for Hiram. He has not been found on any census records. Family tradition says that he was murdered in the area of Palestine, (Anderson County) Texas, before 1870. The 1870 Texas census identifies Mary Malissa as a widow. Any help with this elusive Sharp will be greatly appreciated.
