Sharp, James & Sallie Cessna

James Sharp is believed to be a son of Joanna Culbertson and Robert Sharp. He was born March 3, 1779 and died August 8, 1860 and is buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Muhlenberg. In April 1802, he married Miss Sallie Cessna, sister to Robert Cessna, also of Muhlenberg.

Children of James Sharp & Sallie Cessna:

  1. Samuel Sharp, born January 26, 1803; married Hester M. Glenn October 1832; died August 1, 1871; buried Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Muhlenberg.
  2. Robert C. Sharp, born October 7, 1804; married Hettie Milligan August 14, 1834; died July 9, 1880; buried Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Muhlenberg.

She died September 26, 1864 and is buried at the South Carrollton Cemetery, Muhlenberg. Three stones away from her is a Footstone for J.N.S - John Nelson Sharp most likely. There are 2 other Footstones next to these, one for J.H.S. and M.A.S.; also, a headstone for Alfred R. Sharp, died January 4, 1854, age 5 days: these are most likely children of John and Mary Sharp.

Sharp, Joanna Culbertson & Robert Sharp

Joanna Culbertson was a daughter of Samuel Culbertson and his wife Jennet Shields of Culbertson Row in Franklin Co., Pennsylvania. She was a sister to Agnes Culbertson Long, wife of William Long, one of the early families to settle in Muhlenberg; and Joanna was a first cousin to Capt. John Culbertson, another early settler of Muhlenberg. (He settled there in 1796.)

Joanna Culbertson married Robert Sharp. He was possibly the son of Capt. James Sharp and Margarey McConnell.

The Genealogy of the Culbertson Family, written by Dr. L.R. Culbertson, copyright 1923, states that Joanna first lived in Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania and later moved into Kentucky. The 1790 Census of Pennsylvania shows a Joannah Sharp with 2 sons under 16 and one daughter. Her husband Robert died before 1790.

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:

In 1764 Peter Smith purchased 202 acres in Orange Co., North Carolina from George Counts known as Hogans Creek on Round Hill Branch. Caswell was formed from Orange in 1777, and Peter's property was in that part which became Caswell County. The farm was located on the northside of Hogans Creek on the Round Hill branch. There were several Peter Smiths in Caswell at that time and this helps in distinguishing this particular Peter Smith.
