SHARP marriages in Sullivan Co PA

These families are from PA. Mary Sterrett m. a James Sharp b. 7/5/1753, my Joseph Arbuckle m. to a Sarah, and is mentioned on will of Alexander Sterrett. There is a daughter of Alexander namedSarahwho m. to an Arbuckle. Mary is Sarah's sister. Now comes the interesting part, My Sarah and her children went to Guernsey Co, Ohio. She died there 1834, but I can't find her grave. I did find instead, a great many Arbuckle's and very closely buried to them were (the headstones attached here) Wm. Sharp and Jane Sharp wife of John. In addition to that, my 3rd gr grandparents are buried right across the river in Sharp's Graveyard near Parkerburg, WV in Wood Co.. I feel very strongly that I have the correct Sarah here and that you and I are chasing the same family group. I believe the William Sharp Guernsey may be a descendant of James and Mary. Tis John that I show may have left the PA family to go to Ohio and have taken his share already which may be why he's not on the will of James Sharp.
Please e-mail me if you see a connect. I have some Sharp and some Waters info (Waters is my brother inlaws name)so have been collecting info.
