Charles: I had a grandfather named John Henry Dewey Sharp who was born in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana in April, 1899. So, I'd be very interested in learning more about where I could get info from or where I could purchase the "Sharpe Genealogy" book that you mentioned. His father was Joseph William Sharp 10/1851 to 7/1924, and Joseph's father was Zachariah Sharp, 1/1823 to 1/1895. Do you think any of these lines would be in the book?
