    1. [TXLIMEST] Pat's database
    2. I subscribe to the digest, and I was ready this morning to find out how to re-subscribe, thinking I had been dumped, when No. 11 came through with a whole bunch of messages. Glad to see the list come alive again. Now, Pat. what do you have on the SHARP line? Two brothers (Anthony and Spencer) and maybe a third (James) came to Limestone in the 1850's. They had quite a few descendants among them, although the line suffered a lot in the civil War -- at least six to seven sons killed or died in prison camp. Early members married into the ANGLIN, BENNETT, BATES and other families. Later descendants married into the WILKINSON, BROKAW, CAPPS, BURTON, WILSON and other families. (My mother grew up in the Big Hill community where many of theWilkinsons are buried today. More Sharps are buried in Faulkenberry and Fort Parker cemeteries. Many who grew up in Limestone will remember my Aunt Stella Wilkinson who taught school in Groesbeck (30's, 40's and 50's) and was superintendent of Sunday school at the Baptist church for many many years.) I have quite a bit of information in my database which I would happily share with you. It is quite possible you may have some stuff I do not have. love joan
