“In the year, 1803, John Sharp, brother of Job Sharp, who had remained behind his brother in Virginia, followed after and settled in the immediate vicinity. He began to improve and clear his land, harassed, however, by all the drawbacks incident to pioneer life. He reared a family of eight sons and three daughters. He died at the advanced age of 98, universally beloved and respected. Many of his descendants are well-to-do citizens of this township.” (Perrin, et.al., 1880, pg 466)John Sharp > Sarah Sharp > Sarah Ann Inskeep > Etta May Morton > Glen Owen Bishop > Jimmie R.

Hello Daniel, I am still active but not as much in recent years. I don't have much more information that what you see here, but I'd be happy to help you find answers to questions you might have about the Sharps. I live in Ohio and can help with local research if you need. :)
