Notes for: Nelson Sharp
From Cheryl Cessna online at http://www.kykinfolk.com/muhlenberg/fgs/familyC/culbertson-sharp.htm:
It is the current thought by Sharp researchers that Rosannah Sharp (Mrs. Henry F. Glenn), James Sharp and Nelson Sharp were the three children of Joannah Culbertson and Robert Sharp:
Nelson Sharp married a daughter of Capt. John Culbertson of Muhlenberg. (This daughter has been identified as Mary Culbertson. Capt. John Culbertson had 3 known daughters: Mary who married Nelson Sharp, Joannah who married Samuel Culbertson Long, and Elizabeth who married Robert Cessna.) Research has looked for a Nelson Sharp in Muhlenberg in the earliest records but no record for this person can be found. The earliest Sharp found in the tax records was a Samuel Sharp but the court records indicate that his wife was named Jane. A connection to this family has not been made.
