General Notes: Source: Rebecca Sharp, September 2010 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. .

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.

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.

At this time Henry was a resident of Knox Co., TN. Tax records seem to indicate that he left Virginia for Tennessee in 1789.

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.
