    3. Does anyone know the identity of the parents of John Sharp(e) who married Susannah Hoard/Hord (apparent daughter of Thomas Hoard & Jane Miller)?   I have wondered if this John Sharp could be the son of Elias Sharp who married Margaret Proctor.     Susannah Hoard Sharp was administrator of John Sharp's estate in 1763 and supposedly married next to John Shelton.   Some show the couple as having a daughter named Mary Elizabeth Sharp who married Edward Herndon (this Mary Elizabeth Sharp & Edward Herndon supposedly had at least two children including sons named Thomas Hoard Herndon & George Richardson Herndon).       We find mention of the couple in the "Hord Family of Virginia," 1915 by Arnold Harris Hord as follows:     In the Order Book of King George County, 1751-55, pp. 102-103, "Thomas Hord, Junior, Benjamin Strother, Robert Elliston and Peter Jett, are appointed Jurors." July 4, 1763, Susannah Sharp was administrator of John Sharp, deceased, with Thomas Hord.      Credit goes to Jim Maddox who may have located 3 of the children of Elias Sharp who marriued Margaret Proctor as follows (I should note that we are only definite on George Sharp thanks to 1765 deed where he disposed of land owned by Elias Sharp):   1. George Sharp m. Mary Unknown (George was bound out to Richard Elkins in 1745 & Richard Elkins was administrator for Elias Sharp estate).  Later, George Sharp was bound out to George Morton.  In 1765, George Sharp & wife Mary sell the same land originally owned by William Strother and sold to George Proctor, Sr. who bequeathed to Margaret Proctor Sharp Grigsby wife of Elias Sharp who left the land to his son George Sharp.  2. John Sharp was bound out to George Morton (NFI on this John Sharp, but we have a George Morton married to Margaret Strother, whose grandfather sold land to George Proctor.   Could this John Sharp be the same person who married Susannah Hoard?) 3. Elizabeth Sharp was bound out to Jael Reeds
