Biography

Micajah Sharp was born in August of 1806 in Kentucky, the son of John Sharp and Eleanor Mayfield. He married Martha Mayfield in about 1827 or 1828 in Tennessee.

In the 1850 United States Census for Fayette, Illinois, Micajah was 44, Martha was 42, and their children were: John, 21, Thomas, 19, James W., 17, Micajah S., 13, William H., 12, Francis M., 10, Samuel I., 7, Martha I., 4, and Sarah, 1. Also living within the household were Lydia E. Stallings, 10, and Mary M. Stallings, 7.

Micajah died on 29 April 1866 in Seminole Township, Fayette, Illinois and was buried in Seminole Cemetery in Vandalia, Fayette, Illinois,

  • Note: There were 2 Micajah Sharps born about the same time. One spent most of his life in Illinois and married Martha Mayfield; he died in 1866. (This profile is for that Micajah). The other spent most of his life in Indiana and married Martha Clark; he died in 1877. Records and families had been mixed up for both; we are trying to separate the two and put the correct records on the correct profiles.
