BUSH/ROSEBUSH & SHARP - Family Connection NEED HELP
I am trying to find the SHARP family connection to my BUSH family line. I have no idea how to find them as there are ONLY two Sharp members mentioned in our family Bible - WES (maybe Wesley?) SHARP and HENRY SHARP. Their names appear under 2 "tin-type" photos in the Bible, but there are no dates or connecting information.
I have researched my Bush family heritage based on a family Bible we found in my Grandmother's home. Our Bush family was originally the ROSEBUSH family from Canada. When they came to Isabella County, Michigan, (about 1868) they dropped the "rose" from their name and just became the Bush family.
I have put a link to my family heritage in case anyone else believes they may be related. SEE BELOW:
Joseph Rosebush Sr. and his descendants - written by Mildred Sussell of Jackson, Michigan:

My family line comes down from Lewis Rosebush (b. 1772 around Ballstown? NY and d. in Sidney Township, Hastings County, Ontario Canada. His family bounced back and forth between Canada and New York, with James L. Rosebush coming to Isabella County, Michigan about 1868 and in 1888, he platted and named the town of Rosebush, Michigan. James L. however dropped the "rose" from his name and was just known as James L. Bush. This is the beginning of the BUSH surname for my family.
James L. Bush later lived in Clare, Clare County, Michigan, along with his youngest sister, Mary Eliza Bush.
James L's children are as follows:
Jeddy Bush b. 1873
Mary Jane Bush b. 1876
James Henry Bush b. 1877
Effie Bush b. 1877 (poss a twin to James Henry)
Hattie May Bush b. 1880
Emily Jane Bush b. 1882
All of the children were born in Isabella County, Michigan
Note:
We are also related to the JOHN WATSON family that resided in Isabella County, Michigan 1891 to present?? I have not located current relatives for that family yet either.
