George W. Sharp, b. 1763, d. 1863 in Union Co., TN was married first, ca 1802, to Mary Loy. Their children were at least: 1.Samuel G. Sharp, b. ca 1802 TN, was in Jefferson Co., AL in 1826 2.Permelia Sharp, b. 1806 TN, m. Davidson McNutt 3.Pleasant Sharp, b. 5 Oct 1813 TN (but supposedly George was on an 1809 Mississippi Territory census) 4.Emily B. Sharp, b. 1817 Jefferson Co., AL, d. 31 Mar 1897, married there, and I see that she and her husband moved to AR about the same time that Maria and Wychie Goodwin did. Emily married several times, died in Easton which is right outside Lynn, and was living two households away from Maria in 1860. Emily and her first husband Conrad/Coonrad McNutt had a daughter Elizabeth, b. 15 July 1832 AL, who m. Jacob Prince in 1853. She apparently died and he married second her probable first cousin Emily E. McNUTT, the daughter of Davidson McNUTT and Permelia SHARP. Also significant, Emily B. Sharp had a son Samuel Harrell McNutt, who m. 13 Feb 1872 Sharp married second, apparently by the 1830 census, Charlotte McKinney who had been previously married and had children; her daughter Delilah McKinney Taylor later lived in Union Co., TN as well. It now appears that they had children: 9.Delilah Frances Sharp, b. ca 1830 AL who married George Madison Taylor 10.Hiram A. Sharp, b. 25 Apr 1835 in AL, d. 24 Nov 1910, military service was in Independence Co., AR, married twice 11.Henry Sharp, b. ca 1836 AL unknown son b. 18 June 1838 AL.George (Not finding George W. Sharp on an 1840 census.)

• In the 1850 census of Mary Sharp and John Bailey were the first three Sharp children just listed. They were in Campbell Co., TN but were in Union Co. by 1860. It appears that Mary and these three Sharps were half-siblings.

George W. Sharp married third Catherine (Graves) ADAIR (of the same Sepherdic Adair Trader as the Cherokee family of Adair) and they were together on the 1850 AL census. She died 1851 and he moved back to Union Co., TN where he was with his son George W. Sharp, Jr. for the 1860 census. With Catherine being a Graves’ widow, she would be in the Graves community as George’s mother was Barbara Graves.

Mariah Sharp Goodwin was probably living and communicating with her sister Emily B. and they lived so close together in Lynn and Eaton, ARK.

FYI:

Emily B. Sharp, b. 1817 AL, d. 31 Mar 1897 in Easton, married: Coonrad/Conrad McNUTT on 4 July 1831 in Lawrence Co., AL and had 4 children Alexander Hamilton HOWELL on 10 Oct 1839 in Jefferson Co., AL Newton WARD and had 5-7 children, m. 17 Jan 1867 William NUNNALY on 28 Mar 1878

Henry Honas Sharp was possibly born in Germany. Henry Honas Sharp was a native of Scotland but lived in Germany before coming to America. He and Barbara Graves lived in Orange County, North Carolina before 1785, and probably moved to Botetourt County, Virginia about 1782. He apparently left Virginia for Tennessee in 1789 , and moved to Preble County, Ohio in 1805, where he died in 1814. Source of information: History of Preble County, Ohio. .

History of Preble Co., OH, 1881, Henry Sharp was a native of Scotland but lived in Germany before coming to America. He and Barbara lived in Orange Co., NC before 1785,and probably moved to Botetourt Co., VA about 1782. He apparently left Virginia for Tennessee in 1789 and moved to Preble Co., OH in 1805, where he lived in 1814 .Henry Sharp made deeds to his sons called love deeds in Bold Valley in Claiborne County. Henry, Sr.; deeded land to five of his sons (the other sons were minor at this time, it seems). To Henry, he deeded 200 acres in Claiborne County; to Daniel, 277 acres in Claiborne County on the waters of Lost Creek; and similar amounts to Conrad, Jacob, and George, in the surrounding community. Henry Sharp, b. in Germany cl735,son of Isaac & Margaret Sharp. Isaac was b. 1712 and d. Mar. 8, 1783 in Lancaster (now Lebanon CO.)PA He was tax collector for Hannover Twp. in 1756. This region suffered greatly during the French & Indian War, and many of the first settlers left the area. Henry and his brother, John, were made executors of their father's estate on Apr. 8, 1784, at which time Henry and his wife were apparently living in Montgomery Co., VA The Potts Manuscripts, Vol. IX, Tuipehocken Accounts for 1744 list George, Ernst and Samuel Scherb (Sharp)as well as Johannes and Andreas Graff (Graves). About 1792 the Sharp, Graves, Gibbs, Snodderly and related families settled at Sharp's Station in what is now Union County, TN. This site is in Big Ridge State Park on the east shore of Norris Lake .Henry was a brother to John, Aaron and George Sharp and Mrs. Nicholas Countz (WCG) Sometime prior to 1785 he lived in Orange Co.,NC, as is indicated by a record stating that on June 3, 1785,Henry and Barbara sharp of Botetourt Co., VA, deeded to one Michael Holt land situated in Orange Co., NC. Henry's name appears on tax lists for Orange Co. for 1799 on property valued at $1480 and in 1780, 81 & 82 he was taxed on 225 acres of land in Orange Co. As his name does not appear on the tax lists after 1782, it is probable that he left Orange Co. about this time for Virginia. "In the Brief of Deeds of Montgomery Co., VA, Nov. 2,1795, appears this entry: 'Henry Sharp and wife, Barbara, to George Williams, 112 acres on Sinking Creek.' At this time Henry was a resident of Knox Co., TN. Tax records seem to indicate that he left Virginia for Tennessee in 1789. He is believed to have moved from Tennessee to Preble Co., Ohio, in 1805, where he died in 1814. The first death in the township was that of Henry Sharpe, a native of Scotland. After spending a great part of his life in Germany, he came to Ohio and died in Harrison township about 1814. He was buried in the Euphemia graveyard, and is said to be the first man buried on the spot now covered with tombstones. "2 Note: Euphemia was on the National Road, which was constructed by the Federal government starting in 1811 from Cumberland, MD, to Vandalia, IL, at a cost of over seven million dollars. Today Euphemia is in the NW comer of Lewisburg, on the west side of SR 503. The cemetery is also called Rose lawn .Henry served with Count Pulaski's Light Dragoons during the American Revolution. His name during the time in the military was "Henry Shaup".
