Biography
- Peter Sharp was born in about 1789 in Mason, Kentucky. He was the son of Solomon Sharp and his first wife, Rachel Masters. He was the eldist of 8 children.
- Folk lore has it that Peter was somewhat disowned because of his inappropriate behavior. Peter was left out of Solomon's will because he was the black sheep of the family.
- Solomon had given him a large sum of money ($200 surety) in 1830 to get him out of a paternity suit. He soon took off as soon as the court case was settled. The mother and child went to live elsewhere in Ohio.
- It is unkown when and where he died.

It is more likely that the Elizabeth Antrim who had an illegitimate son by Peter Sharp was the daughter of Robert Levi Antrim, brother to William and Aden. She was born about 1813, making her approximately 16 at the birth of her son John Antrim. John was brought up in the household of his grandparents. Whether he knew of his real parentage is impossible to know. He and his brother [cousin] Robert Jr. both moved to Fremont, Iowa.
