CONFEDERATE ARMY SERVICE RECORD
OF

PRIVATE WILLIAM HENRY SHARP

Pvt. William Henry Sharp of Chambers Co. Ala. enlisted for "three yean or the war" on September 1. 1862
at West Point Ga. One caid from the record, dated 6/30/1863 shows him as enlisted by Capt. Henry Holmes.
Another, dated 6/2A864, also says Capt. Holmes as the enlisting officer but lists Rome, Ga. as the place
\ of enlistment (actually Rome is where the regiment was officially organized, I think ). Another card shows

.' Capt. Solon Bell as the enlisting officer. He was placed in Co. "K" in the 8th Con federate Regiment, also

/ called Wade's Confederate Cavalry ( Col. W. B. Wade )

This regiment, according to the book, "Confederate Military History" found in the Bradley Library, participated
in the following encounters during his enlistment or until his death in June 1863: ( All in state of Tenn.)

A brief account of May 22, 1863 says "skirmish with enemy at Middleton, Tenn. two privates were captured
and Capt. B. A. East was severely wounded." ( doubtless one of these was Wm. H. Sharp.)

Company "K" muster roll dated 6/2/1864 shows Pvt. Sharp captured 5/22/1863 at Middleton. Company "K"

roll dated 6-30-1864 showed Pvt. Sharp absent and missing at Shelbyville, Tenn, supposed to be captured 6/27/63.

Roll of Prisoners of War dated 5/23/1863 in Nashville, Tenn. forwarded from Murphreesboro that Pvt. Sharp was
captured 5/22/1863. Register of Prisoners of War. dept. of Cumberland shows Pv t. Wm. H. Sharp captured 5/22/63

Roll of Prisoners of War dated Headquarters Dist. of Ky, Louisville 5/29/63 shows Pvt. Sharp sent fromLouisville
to Baltimore. Md. 5/29/63 en route for exchange. Roll of Prisoner of War says Pvt. Wm. H. Sharp appears as a
signature to a Roll of Prisoners of War paroled at Fort McHenry, Md. 6/3/63 and sent to Fort Monroe, Va. for
exchange. It shows he was one of 204 Confederate prisoners of War paroled for exchange and one surgeon and one
female nurse - received at City Point, Va. 6/5/1863.

Pvt. Wm. H. Sharp appears on a register ac Confederate States Hospital. Petersburg. Va. containing record of
clothing and accouterments 6/5/1863. Under ■remarks" DIED 6/17/1863.

Pvt. W. H. Sharp appears on a •Report of Sick and Wounded" for month of June 1863 Discharges on surgeons
certificate -and deaths. Under disease - "Febris Typhoidis". Date of death - June 17. 1863.

Private William Henry Sharp was buried in a common grave with other Conf. soldiers in Blandford Cemetery in
Petersburg, Va. An official letter from the director of the cemetery verifies this.

I LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF REV. WILUAM SHARP
WILL BOOK ' A" PAGE Si R E CORDED JAN. 14, 1845, MRIWETHER COUNTlf, GEORGIA

William Sharp of said state and County, advanced in age and knowing that I must shortly depart from this
world, deem it right and proper both as t'espects myself and family that I should make a dispos tion of the
properties which a kind Providence has blessed me. I therefore make this my Last Will and Testament, hereby
revoking and annulling all other heretofore made by me.

Item: I desire and direct that my body be buried in a decent and Christian-like manner. My soul I trust
shall return to God who gave it, as I hope for eternal salvation through the blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.

Item: As I have given to each of my children two thousand dollars except my daughter Elizabeth H. Stone who
having received one thousand dollars. I give and desire to be fair to each of my foui granddaughters, the
children of said Elizabeth H. Stone the sum of Two hundred Fifty dollars each when they arrive of age or
many.

Item: The remainder of my estate both real and personal I wish and desire to remain in the hands of my
beloved wife during her natural life for her benefit and use and after her death to be equally divided among
my surviving children or their children.

Singed, sealed and delivered by William Sharp.

MiRCH 15, 1985

A visit was made to the old Sharp plantation home and family cemetery at Durand, Meriwether County, Ga.
on March 14, 1985 by lack C. Sharpe and grandson, Alan Lane.

The original part of the house is still s;tanding although the back addition has fallen in. The tin roof is
partly gone so the house won't be standing too much longer. The interior of the two original rooms and the
attic stairway are all intact and seem quite substantial, evidently made out of heart pine lumber. I enquired
as to the owner and a Henry W. Bookout. Jr. of New York is reputed to own it along with a lot of timberland
joining it. The cemetery across the road afout fifty yards away is also in very bad repair, with all sizes of
trees and undergrowth growing throughout. Some of the markers are still intact and legible while there are
several stone enclosures and iron fence enclosures with no signs of markers or slabs. The area around the ceme-
tery has been prepared for planting. Someone in Columbus, Ga. is supposed to own this property but I could
not find out the owner's name.
Tombstones legible were:

1. A large flat slab for Rev. William Sharp, bom April 4, 1711, died March 18, 1845.

2. Next to him his wife, Judith Sharpfe), marked by and upright marker - bom 1776, died July 25, 1853.

3. An upright marker - Harriet Sharp, wife of Randal Morgan, died Aug. 2, 1847.

4. An upright marker, Caroline H. , daughter of Randal Morgan.

5. An upright marker for Milo Mathews - unable to read it.

6. A marker for Mary Saunders, born 1768, died 1848, aged 80 years ( relationship unknown )

7. A marker for Sara Bass, born 1781. died 1845, ( relationship unknown )

Statistics compiled in 1903 by Genealogist Harriet Talbot
Contributed by Wra. H. Mathews, Texarkana, Texas

The Sharps are thought to be of Scottish descent. The first American
ancestor of this family was George Sharp, who on his way; to this country,
<-^4 stopped Bermuda Islands, where he remained for some time, and then carce

on to Maryland, and settled in the eastern part of the province. He
married Miss Mary Bailey, and three of their children are mentioned:
DANIEL, WILLIAM, AND FETER (of whom there is no other mention).

DANIEL SHARP LIK E

• Daniel Sharp married W*«i4*^Wf*their children were Cyrus, Peter, D aniel ,

William Henry; Mrs. Aylor (christian name unknown) Margaret, and Ann.
In 1823, Daniel Sharp moved to Baldwin County, Georgia. William Henry,

the fourth child of Daniel Sharp, married and died in ie63,

leaving a son and a daughter. The son is William Henry Sharp, who live3
in Atlanta, Georgia (71 Whitehall St.) and is the manager of the Wheeler
and Wilson Mfg. Co. He has a wife and grown son and daughter. His sister
is Mrs. R. D. Cheney of Chattannoga, Tennessee. Mrs. Aylor, oldest
daughter of Daniel Sharp, lived and died in Texas leaving one child, Mary,
who was raised by Mrs. Aylor *s sisters, Margaret and Ann. (Mary Aylor
married a Mr. Harrison and moved to Florida fifty years ago, and has been
dead many years). Margaret Sharp, second daughter of Daniel Sharp, married
a Mr. Price and lived and died in Alabama. Ann Sharp, youngest child of
Daniel Sharp, married a Mr. Floyd, and lived and died in Troupe County, Ga.
Cyrus, born in 1797, died in 1893 at the age of 96. He ran away from his
people inMaryland and settled in Ga. In the language of his son, James B.
Sharp, "Cyrus, my father, was the architect of his own fortune. He became
( very prosperous. Social in his manner, his heart always warmed to the

Tartan, though he had no knowledge of the stripe, shape or color of the
plaid, nor of the clan." He married Frances Ann Crawford, who was of
Scotch origin and could trace back to Bruce and Wallace (in the 13th
century, Margaret, daughter of Sir Hugh Crawford of London, Scotland,
married Sir Malcolm Wallace, and became the mother of Sir William Wallace,
the Scotch patriot. The father of Frances Ann Crawford, David Crawford,
was a prominent man in South Carolina. While he lived there , he was a
brother of the famous William H. Crawford of Georgia. Frances Ann was
born in South Carolina. The children of Cyrus and Frances Ann Sharp were
Cyrus Henry, Eliza, Frances Ann, Mary, Irene, Louise, Emma, Julia and

James B.

'"pWO cart-drivers In China were
'■*■ trying to get up a muddy hill
Each driver's cart was- stuck in
the mud, almost side by - side.
Each man was beating his own
scrawny horse. ■• but 1 -the wheeln
were stuck fast Alone earn* an
American. "Why don' t ' you un-
hitch one horse," he .said "and
hitch him to the other cert T Then J
the two horses
might get the cart
out of the mud."
IJie carters were'
astonished. They
id never thought
of that. But they
did as the stran-
ger said, and sure
enough they both
got to the top of
the hill. That true
story, told by a missionary, shows
two things at once. One Is that
in • countries where Christianity
.has had a chance to get .around,
some simple Christian ..ideas get
taken for granted, such as help-
ing your neighbor when ■. he Is in
trouble. The other is /that where
Christianity is unknown, even so
simple a thing as getting together
to pull out of the mud, comes as
a ' strange new idea.

Who Is My Neighbor?

Now if those two Chinese car-
ters had been father and son, or
brother and brother, they might
have thought of helping -each oth-
er, for in HMwff 'nothing is too
good for members of .your family .
But we have no great right to
make run -of . the Chinese. All of
us are inclined to draw pretty
hard lines and to think,— Outside
those lines I have no neighbors.
Inside the lines, yes, we under-
stand pretty well what neighbor-'
liness is. "Love thy neighbor as,
thyself is a commandment not!
too hard to understand, for wei
know .what it is to love ourselves,!'
that comes all <6o.^iatur'ally. We;
like to get ahead, to cushion our-'j
selves from danger and if possi-
ble from discomfort, we coisult
our own interests. Loving one's
neighbor as x oneself Just ro-ans:

looking -out tor. him in the i ame ;

HISTORY OF DELAWARE.

NJ

wife of Hoses Boon. By leases and releases under
date Ol' November 12, 1767, William Culbreth and his
wile obtained pare of the lands which are now in part

owned by the family. Culbretli's marsh adjoining
was drained in 1800. A tract of two hundred and
twenty-four acres, called "Penelope's Advantage,"
was taken up February 14, 174"), by Penelope Free-
man. In 1779 the wife of .Martin Irons transferred
one-half acre to Rev. Wm. Thomas, which is now the
site of Thomas' Chapel.

Martin Irons, whose body is buried in (he Presby-
terian Church-yajd at Dover, was a descendant of
Simon Irons, who located large tructsof land in Duck
Creek, and Little Creek Hundreds, and lived on or
near Simon's Creek or Dona before 1700.

The original tract of Martin Irons is owned by
John Jsirrell, who lives on the old homestead, Edward
Hubbard, E. M. Booach, Thomiis Rash, Emory Scotten,
Margaret Nicholls, George T. Voshall and John D-
Voshall, sons of Obadiah. The latter married Eliza-
beth Williams, who di-d in Febuary, 18S". William
D. Yo-hall was a justice of the peace and postmaster
of Hazlettrille.

"Proctor's Purchase" was the name of a tract taken
up by John Durqorrow on a warrant dated December
3, 1734, adjoining " Sipple's Adventure." By his
request it was transferred to Thomas Proctor, who
sold it to Henry Format) August 6, 1779. Heron
Point, a tract within the " Purchase," on which Hartley
is situated, was surveyed for Richard Mannering.

On June 23, 174S, a tract of land was taken up on
the north side of the Furaess Branch (now called
Powell's Branch or Culbretli's Ditch), on Clioptank
River, by Peter Lowber, which passed to Michael
Furbee, who sold it to William Price, to whom it was
surveyed May 23, 1767. Hugh Durburrow on Au-
gust 19, 1737, took up "Springfield," containing one
hundred and forty acres on the north side of Cul-
bretli's Ditch. Morris Freeman and Owen Cains
then owned hind adjoining.

"T:\ppahanna'' was a large tract of five orsix hun-
dred acres on T.ippalianna Creek, from which it took

its name. In 1763 Wait man Sipple was the owner of
it and from him it parsed to Henry Elbert, William
Brown and George Syburn respectively.

TheTappnhaiinn Ditch Company was incorporated
in 1300 and the ditch was soon after opened.

"Burrowfield " a tract of two hundred and twentv-
seven acres, which was taken up at a very early dav, in
1790 was granted to John Day, who bought another
large tract OD the north side of Tappahanna, called the
" Home Tract." Burrowfield and the Home Tract
adjoined each other and are adjoining the Tappa-
hanna tract.

Burrowfield and the Home Tract were left to
Matthias Day (who in 1S17 was the owner of both
tracts). At his death it was left to C. H. II. Day, of
Dover, and Rebecca Day (later Mrs. Thomas Clements),

and now (1883) belongs to Dr. Thomas O. Clements,
of Dover. The Home Tract passed to the three you nger

children and is now owned by James Hatching and
the heirs of John Cleaver. The old Day House, built
in 1775, is standing on this place, being occupied by
Mrs. John Cleaver.

A tract of laud called Beaver Swamr.

lying on a

branch of Clioptank River called Tanner's Branch or
Culbretli's Swamp Branch, was warranted in 1747 by
Waitman Sipple and re-surveyed to Henry Wells in
1737, who also in that year took up two other tracts
adjoining Tanner's Branch. These lands were a
short distance southwest of Hazlettrille. On Feb-
uary 13, 1763, Wells sold the lands, then containing
five hundred and fifty one acres, to Charle3 Lyons,
Thomas Bond and William Morton, and on March 9,
1779, Lyon and Bond sold to Joseph Burchenal.
The latter came from Maryland where his father,
Jeremiah Burchenal, had lived for many years. The
land of Joseph Burchenal remained in the family
many years, but about 1S17 it passed to John Slay,

who still owns part of it.

A tractof land called the "Hour Glass," from its
peculiar shape, years ago came into the possession of
the Virdins, who still own it.

Of the tracts in the eastern part of the hundred,
Canterbury and Hopewell join Proctor's Purchase,
and extend a considerable distance in East Dover
Hundred. The former was taken by Benjamin
Shurmer, who was prominent in the county from
1700 to his death in 1736. It contained five hundred
acres and passed to his children. The greater part of
the "Long Reach'' tract, containing one thousand
acres, situated on Isaac's Branch, is in East Dover, and
embraces the old Allaband property.

Churches.— ThomiJ Chi,i-! .—T\\e first church or
chapel built by the people of West Dover, who later
became Methodists, is known as Thomas' Chapel.
Penelope Freeman (later the wife of Owen Irons)
donated the land for the use of the people from the
tract "Penelope's Adverliure," to the Rev. William
Thomas, who. on December 24th, 1779, conveyed
it to Stephen Black, Thomas Seward, Daniel Wheeler,
Nathan Harrington, Richard Shaw, Thomas Scotten,
Nathan Bailey, Edward Callahan and Stephen Black,
Jr. The first chapel was built of logs, and was
known as the "Log Chapel."

It had been erected upon the half-acre of land
before the title was conveyed, as in the deed mention
is made of the half-acre, " together with a preaching-
house or chapel erected thereon." The logs were
dove-tailed together, and tradition holds that it "had
not a nail in it."

In this old chapel, Francis Asbury (later Bishop),
Freeborn Garrettson and others preached many times.
It is related in an old newspaper that on the 13th of
May, 1781, after Asbury had preached in the old
chapel, "Harry, a negro, preached upon the 'Barren
Fig-Tree.' " Asbury says: "The circumstance was
entirely new, and ' the wdiite people looked on with
attention.'' This was probably the first instance a
negro bad preached to whites.
