Notes from Sylvia Lagah to Tim Sharp 10/05/15

1. Tim Sharp (me) 2. Joseph Hewitson Sharp (my dad) 3. Thomas Phillipson Sharp (my grandfather) 4. Francis Cowans Sharp (my g grandfather) 5. Richard Sharp (my g g grandfather) I cannot find a birth/baptism record for this Richard, do you have one? It does seem odd that Richard and Amelia did not name one of their children Richard 6. Richard Sharp (my g g g grandfather) not sure about the dates here I think it is an error This Richard married Amelia Leadley 7. Abraham Sharp b 1763 marries Ruth Charlton (either my g g g g grandmother or substract a g)

I think that the trail goes a bit cold but I have Cornelius Charlton in the next step and Grace Harrison. The Ruth Charlton born to this couple married someone else. She is mentioned in Grace Charlton's (Harrison) will

But you have Edward Charlton of Ryton Durham .....

'24 Jul 1808 Ruth Sharp,(my 2xggm) of Heworth Shore, born 19 Dec 1807, 4th daughter of Abraham Sharp (keelman, native of Newburn) & Ruth Carlton (native of Ryton, daughter of Edward Carlton)'

There has always been some confusion about Ruth's last name...so far I have Halton, Carton, Carlton, Caraton and various others but I think Charlton is the most likely.
