Barbara,
James Sharp was my great-grandfather. I have the obituary from the Democrat Star (Denton, MD).His father was John Sharp (my records show he lived in Pennsylvania). My grandfather was George Washington Sharp.
James was married twice - to Harriet Richardson of Canada (George's mother), my great grandmother, and to Mary Bowden of Michigan.
Geoege married Emily Seymour of trappe, MD, they lived in Ridgely, and the James Sharp farmhouse still stands there. My father, Stephen, was born there, later moved with George and Emily to Wilmington, Delaware, where I any my 2 brothers and sister were born.
I am interested in any other information you ohave on this line of Sharps. Family oral tradition says they are descended from 3 brothers from Scotland who landed in Philadelphia; one of whom went to Kentucky..... but I have no records on that.
