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.
