Elijah was born in 1808 to James Sharrard and Phoebe Sine. He passed away in 1880.

"James Wright Sharrard was born 1783 and first took up a farm in Markham (Lot 2, Con. 5), afterward moving to another near Stouffville. About the year 1812 he came to Pickering, the first of the Sharrards to live in the township, and settled on Lot 21, Con. 6. He was a man of considerable prominence in the municipal and religious life of the community during the first half of the century, being not only a public-spirited citizen, but widely known as an effective preacher of the gospel. He died about 1864. His family were: Sylvanus, Elijah, Calvin, Sarah (Mrs. Churchill), Thomas, Ira (lived on seventh concession), Nancy (Mrs. Willson, afterwards Mrs. Dunham), Polly (Mrs. John Phillips) and Assena."
