In 1920 he is listed with wife Mellie and son Earl in Anderson Co., living next door to his brother Alfred. In 1930 he is listed in Briceville with Mellie, children, Earl, Arnold and George and mother-in-law, Alice Nelson. According to AWT, his name was Harvey W. Sharp b. 1 Jan 1889; d. 1 Jul 1952; bd. Milan Baptist Church Cemetery, Maynardville. He is listed as marrying a Rosa Cagle on 13. Dec 1915 in Knox Co....he is listed as having a child with her, Rutha b. in 1910 (5 years before marriage date). This however does not relate to the census records... The Rutha is most likely the brother of Henry W. (Harvey?), Dewey and his wife, Florida White, as they are listed on the 1910 Union Co., Census. I couldn't locate any census records for a Rosa Sharp with Harry/Harvey....
