I will share with you the information I have in hopes it will help you in your search. Philopena was born circa 1776. She is believed to be a daughter of Conrad Stoner/Stiner/Steiner, and a sister of Conrad, Rachel and Peter. She died in McMinn Co. TN (date unknown). Philopena married Jacob Sharp, son of Heinrich/Henry Sharp and Barbara Graves, on 8 April 1796 in Orange Co. NC. They were the parents of nine children: Nancy (married Christian Graves), Eli (married Rebecca Rice), Buford, Edward (married Eliza Shelton), Joel (married Nancy Wilson), Nelly, Hiram (married Catherine Herring), Mary and Oliver Sharp (married Mary Jane Wilburn). Eli Sharp (7 Feb 1798, McMinn Co. TN - 2 Jun 1866, Camden Co. MO) married Rebecca Rice on 21 Aug 1821 in Claiborne Co. TN. She was born 4 Oct 1803 in TN and died 5 Feb 1871 in Camden Co. MO. I only have three children listed for them so far. Charles Sharp (18 May 1827-5 Jan 1862, Rolla, Phelps Co. MO) married Eliza Kersey on 20 Feb 1851 in Mountain Grove, Texas Co. MO. They were parents to Eli, Oliver, James, Eliza Ann and Mary Clarinda Sharp. Henry Sharp (22 Oct 1828, Arkansas-23 Sep 1902, Camden Co. MO) married Mary J. Ellis. They were parents to William Edward, Lodesky, Josephine, Sarah E., Edgar, Mary, Theodore F. and Henry Alonzo Sharp. Nancy A. Sharp married William Riley Ellis, probably a brother of Mary J. Ellis. Not much, but I hope it helps. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Not sure how historically accurate this is, but I thought this was interesting and wanted to share with the list: ITERESTING BIT OF HISTORICAL TRIVIA In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either sculpted or painted.  Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms.  Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are 'limbs,' therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression, 'Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg.'   (Artists know hands and arms are more difficult to paint) ****************************** As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year (May and October) Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. They couldn't wash the wigs, so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for 30 minutes.  The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term 'big wig.' Today we often use the term 'here comes the Big Wig' because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy. ************************************************************** In the late 1700's, many houses consisted of a large room with only one chair. Commonly, a long wide board folded down from the wall, and was used for dining. The 'head of the household' always sat in the chair,  whiles everyone else ate sitting on the floor. Occasionally a guest, who was usually a man, would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal. To sit in the chair meant you were important and in charge.  They called the one sitting in the chair the 'chair man.' Today in business, we use the expression or title 'Chairman' or 'Chairman of the Board.' ************************************************************** Personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions.  When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face she was told, 'mind your own bee's wax.'  Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term 'crack a smile'.  In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt . . . Therefore, the expression 'losing face.' ************************************************************** Ladies wore corsets, which would lace up in the front. A proper and dignified woman, As in 'straight laced'  wore a tightly tied lace. ************************************************************** Common entertainment included playing cards. However, there was a tax levied when purchasing playing cards but only applicable to the 'Ace of Spades.'  To avoid paying the tax, people would purchase 51 cards instead. Yet, since most games require 52 cards, these people were thought to be stupid or dumb because they weren't 'playing with a full deck.' ************************************************************** Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what the people considered important.  Since there were no telephones, TV's or radios, the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns, pubs, and bars. They were told to 'go sip some ale' and listen to people's conversations and political concerns. Many assistants were dispatched at different times.  'You go sip here' and 'You go sip there.' The two words 'go sip' were eventually combined when referring to the local opinion and, thus we have the term 'gossip.' ************************************************************** At local taverns, pubs, and bars, people drank from pint and quart-sized containers. A bar maid's job was to keep an eye on the customers and keep the drinks coming.  She had to pay close attention and remember who was drinking in 'pints' and who was drinking in 'quarts,' hence the term 'minding your 'P's and Q's ' ************************************************************ One more:  Bet you didn't know this!  In the heyday of sailing ships, all war ships and many freighters carried iron cannons. Those cannons fired round iron cannon balls. It was necessary to keep a good supply near to the cannon. However, how to prevent them from rolling about the deck? The best storage method devised was a square-based pyramid with one ball on top, resting on four resting on nine, which rested on sixteen.  Thus, a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon.   There was only one problem....how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling from under the others. The solution was a metal plate called a 'Monkey' with 16 round indentations. However, if this plate were made of iron, the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to make 'Brass Monkeys.' Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far, the brass indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannon balls would come right off the monkey. Thus, it was quite literally, 'Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.' (All this time, you thought that was an improper expression, didn't you.)

Randy, I am descended from James Welch through his son Willis Greene Welch. I'm amazed that you aren't finding anything, since the Internet has helped me find so much info on the descendants of Tandy and Polly. Two great places to start are Junior Welch's site on Family Tree Maker (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/e/l/Junior-R-Welch/GENE4-0001.html) and Brenda Nichols' "My Clinch Mountain Home." (http://brendanichols.tripod.com/welch.html). Neither site is currently being updated; Junior has passed away and I'm not sure about Brenda. But you'll find quite a bit there. Ancestry.com also has more information than just the censuses.
