Yes PLEASE Thelma!! Post some more on this line!! Are you, by chance, related to David & Carrie Nation of Delaware County, IN. That is where my Sharps are from also, who came from the VA/TN Sharps! I believe a Van Matre married David Nation first!! There is a Sharp connection there, however!! Sincerely, Marilyn Barber Danville, IN

So many Sharp's, let me add another line. 1. Richard Sharp married Leah ? and lived in NY in the 1700. Large family, but I only know Andrew. 2. Andrew Sharp, born 1790, lived in Bennington, Genesee County, NY married abt 1827 to Hannah Stedman born 1799, moved to Genoa Twp, Livingston County, MI. Had seven children Andrew, William, Hezia, Jonathan, Richard, Siovica, Josiah. Have more info. 3. Andrew Sharp Jr. born 1826, NY married Nov 1853 in Ontario, NY to Anna Beattie born Oct 1832, NY. They had seven children: Dorothy, George A., William, Fred A., Elmer, Almeida Elva, and Frank. Lots of Livington County history in Michigan. 4. Fred A. born Jul 1860 married Jenny Phillips who had seven children and died eight day after giving birth to her last son. Children, Pelda, Andy, Alva, Ivan, Anna, Lynn, and William L. who was adopted by George A. 5. William L. was my grandfather born Apr 1896 and married in 1916 to Ester M. Merrihew. Six children, three living Flora, Hilda, Inez, William E., Lloyd, Lyle Andrew. I'd like to find more information on Richard and Leah Sharp in New York, my trail ends there. Perhaps he came from Holland, but I have no proof.
