I ask that you help me watch for a Matthew Sharp bn 1776 in Va. I believe his middle name to be Albert or at least I think that the name he went by started with an A. I dont think he used Matthew till his older age. He left Va. some of his stopped in Tenn. >> Oh gee, I wish I could help. It is likely that the families are connected. As I wrote, Edward, father of Anthony, had several brothers in Virginia, and I do not know what happened to them. One was Anthony (the first I guess you could call him) who went to Tennessee. I run across his name occasionally in my research, but I have not had t time to follow his trail and name his children. I will be glad to keep your name with my possible connections and if I find anything get back to you. And you do the same for me. love, joan
