A William H Sharp married Lucinda Ellison about 1888. They had 2 children, Maggie b-1890 and Charlie b-1893. William and Lucinda broke up and apparently divorced. I believe that it is this William who married Nancy Ann Ernwine in 1898. The 1910 Union County census states that it is his 2nd marriage. What I need to prove, is his parents. We believe that his parents were William Henry Sharp and Elender Oaks (When Elender died in 1877, William married Mary Trent). I need something that says that is true. An obituary for example. But so far we can't find anything at all. Their daughter Maggie was living with John Edward Sharp in 1900. She was around 9 or 10, which would have been the right age. She is listed as his great niece. John Edward Sharp was the Uncle of William Henry Sharp(H/O Elender). Also there was an Isaac Parker living next door to them at the time. Maggie was killed by a train in 1929 and the informant on her death certificate was Isaac Parker. Charlie lived with his mother's parents in 1900, the Ellisons. He then entered the army and moved away from TN, ending up in Alabama. We are trying to prove that Charlie was the grandson of William Henry and Elender Oaks Sharp. I am truly hoping that someone can help us with this? Thanks so much! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
