    1. Sharp=McClellans
    2. As a great granddaughter of Spencer Sharp, I have oodles of McClellan, Looney and Sharp info. There were lots of McClellans who came to Oklahoma in its very early days, iand pioneered in Arkansas. There is one branch of the family in Texas, in Walker and Montgomery counties. How much stuff do you want? I don't have as much on the Looneys, but I do correspond with a Looney descendant who has given me some info. Again, how much do you want? love joan

    3. I have been tacking the families of Limestone Co & early Robertson Colony to see how many of them had connections before coming to TX. I have found in VA,TN, ARK, TX connection with the Looney/Luna, Hogan , Lauderdale, now Sharp & McClelland families that all ended up in the same area in TX. I find this interesting & it will also help others locate their ancestors who are not as lucky as we have been in locating ours. I made several trips to TN before I was able to iron the kinks out of my Looney/Luna line. I do not want any "stuff" I just found some info in a book I ordered & was able to connect it up with documents I found concerning the Sharp & McClelland families & thought it might help some one else. I am a Looney/Luna descendant & have much info I have collected over the yrs. In fact one of the descendant of a brother of the original Peter Looney <my line> signed my DRT Papers. I have visited the grave site of old Peter Luna in Marshall Co TN. I can not tell you the number of families that I have worked out of Limestone Co & found ancestors for. I only work on Sharp or McClellan family in connection with my Limestone Co data base. I always keep my eye open for info on a family in my LCT data base & keep the email addresses of the people I work with behind their family so if I find someone working the same lines I can send them on to their own group. No great interest in the Sharp/McClelland lines just another Limestone Co family. I was born & raised in Limestone Co & have found connections between families that have shocked me. The families in Limestone Co have been great to help me with this project since I started some yrs ago. I have helped lots of others also & want to thank all that have helped me. Most of the people I want to thank are not even on the internet. I found a 1st cousin of a friend of mine last month that she did not even know existed, she is in her 80s & he is in his 90s & lives in TN she is in Limestone Co.
