| Surnames: Sharp, Bennett, Wilkinson From photocopies of old Bible that Auntie Katie's youngest daughter of Thomas and Ann Sharp, had for many years. don't know where it is now - there have been so many deaths of older members of the family. My uncle Leo Lyons made photocopies of the Bible about 30 years ago, and that is what I show here. Entries were on three pages, written in wavering handwriting, not all alike. On page one, copied word for word, under Family Record -- Births (Some of this could be my grandmothers writing, but it may be older than that. My grandmother was Annie K. Sharp Wilkinson) (The children listed are sons and daughters of Thomas and Ann Anderson Bennett Sharp.) Thomas Edgar was born December 18th, 1866 Ezekiel Spencer born December 21st 1868 John Henderson was born Sept. 9th 1870 James Franklin was born Dec. 12th 1872 Annie K (looks like perhaps an erasure) was born Dec. 19th, 1874 William Zachry was born Jan. 19th, 1877 Katy was born Feb. (blotch) 1879 And in dissimilar handwriting, this notation, "29 in the last record is marked out and 18 inserted by way of correction." In second column, in pen with much finer point: TH Sharp was born Feb. 9, 1840 Ann T Sharp was born March 17, 1843 On Page 2 Marriages TH Sharp and Ann T.
