William E.Sharp Texarkana, Ark. 1895
Married to Cora Belle Skinner in 1895 at the age of 20 and 21. Lived on the Henry Skinner farm on the Red River near Texarkana. Supposedly both were born in Texas in about 1874. Could be of Indian descent. I was always told that we were Choctaw but he looks awful dark to me. Cora is part Cherokee. William looks more like an old Cherokee or Creek. Real dark looking. My great grandpa W.E. Sharp was quoted as saying that he was from the wrong side of the Red River; whatever that meant. It is a mystery to me who he was and where he came from. Help! [email protected]
