Arnold Sharpe

I am trying to confirm the parents of George Sharp jr, born 1791. Records are conflicting. Some indicate the Parents were George SR.(born 1755) and Elizabeth Kirk Sharp, others dispute this. Genevieve Peters in Her book "know your relatives...." found No connection between these two families. HELP please.
