I received the following request for information on a Franklin Sharp and would like to pass along this request since so many of us have Sharp's in our lines. Please respond to Claudette at _cfiliputti@aol.com_ (mailto:cfiliputti@aol.com) if anyone can help her. Thanks so much. Nina I am seeking info on a Franklin SHARP who married (? place) Louisa MAYES (b. ca. 1857 in NC). They had a son, William John Sharp (called "Big John") (b. Jun 1876 Columbus, OH - d. 1936 (?) in a hit-and-run accident near La Follette, TN while visiting relatives. Body was taken to Kalamazoo, MI and buried in Texas Twp., Kalamazoo Co., MI, where he resided. He was m. 1896 to Susie Jacobs in Lake Co., MI. Franklin and Louisa were also the parents of Bessie (Sharp) Lautzenhiser and Laura Sharp. Franklin and Louisa were either divorced or he died and she re-married to Joseph Lee (b. 1853 Salem, MA - 04 Mar 1929 Kalamazoo Co., MI) and they had Granville, Walter and Maude. Franklin may have been his middle name. We have no info on Franklin other than his name on children's death certs. and would be greatful for any help. Thank you. Claudette
