SHARPS , SHARPE? W.VA. family Bible
According to an old family Bible, James Sharps was born February 22, 1843, married Mary J. Moore August 22, 1867, and died Oct., 1910.Mary died May 5, 1841.The children were recorded as Thomas G., b. March 24, 1872, Elizabeth P., born July 11, 1869, Lorenzo B., born June 18, 1878, and
Louise "Elly", born January 11, 1885.The
writing is somewhat faded, so the surname
could be either spelling.Are these names familiar to anyone?I' pretty sure the family is from W. VA. because Elly's son was said to have been born in Upshur County, but I haven't found any sources to verify anything yet.. Any help appreciated.
