Sources
Unsourced
Added by Cherie Sharp 4/30/2022. Below is taken from a family genealogy book "Descendants of Edward Sharp" by C. Newell Bowie and Jerold B. Sanders. It should be unsourced since the birthplace and birthdate has no hard evidence as of now. Other facts in the book do have a paper trail. I have photo copied 2 pages to get a better idea of who Edward and his family are. There are two volumes of this book, of @450 pages.

Sharp-431 and Sharp-225 appear to represent the same person because: Same locations and wife, death dates differ but no source on Sharp-225
