Hi Carol, I do remember seeing your Sharp postings come across the site. Boy,I'll have to say that I'm impressed with your research on that line.You sure have done some reference work and contacts. I don't know if I asked you or not about your Hurley name. We have some Hurley's in our family from the Troy,NC / Montgomery County,NC area.They married into the Cranford,Moore,Hulin line. So far I have not had the least bit of luck with my Harper side in Mecklenburg County,VA.I just don't know what to think at present. As far as I know I'm the only person in several of my family linews who is working on genealogy,figures. Everybody always tells me how nice and interesting it sounds,they also tell me to let them know what I find,but nobody is giving me any information to go by. sound familiar? Well,I'll get this to you and see what I can check out tonight,probably nothing. Take care, best regards, Richard C. Harper Thomasville, NC
