Esther: This was posted in the Sharp Forum at GenForum by [email protected] on July 16, 1997: I am looking for the parents or other family members of Samuel Sharp: b. October 23, 1818 in Yorkshire, ENG d. December 20, 1893 in Santa Maria, CA,US m. Hannah Armitage Children: 1)Harriet: b. February 1, 1844 in either Halifax or Wakefield, ENG m. Wilson (?) Blood divorced. 1860's (Blood in ENG, Harriet in PA,US) 2)Tamar: b.ENG 3)George: b.ENG 4)Fred: b.ENG 5)Mary: b.ENG Samuel and Hannah moved to PA,US with daughter Harriet and two granddaughters, Lucy and Laura Sharp. It's a rather old message, but the combination of Tamar and PA caught my eye, and I thought of you. The e-mail address might not even be valid any more. Coincidentally, there is a Samuel Sharp (age 50) (not the same as above), wife Susannah (age 47) and daughter Tamar (age 13) shown on the 1850 PA census in Williston Twp., Chester Co., PA. all born PA. Was that her first child in 1858? If so, this would put her at the right age. Anyway, maybe you can tap into the church/marriage records to see if this is the right Tamar. Good luck! :o) Priscilla
