Notes - "Thomas Sharp was born before 1752, probably in Baltimore County, MD. He married Rachel Elliott. Thomas and Rachel had a set of triplets in 1794 and the children were baptized in St. James Episcopal Church in My Lady's Manor. The church was built in the 1750s and was used as an arsenal to store weapons for the patriots in the Revolutionary War. The church still stands today and an academy is located next door to it which is owned and operated by the church members. Thomas Sharpe (sic) is listed in the Maryland 1790 census in the Min Run Hundred, with 1 free white male (including head of household) and one free white female (including head of household) so it appears they did not have any children before 1790. Thomas lived in Baltimore County until about 1803 when he moved to Kentucky."
"Thomas and Rachel had a set of triplets and one set of twins in Madison County, Kentucky. The family didn't stay long in Kentucky; they moved on to the Indiana Territory about 1807."
"Thomas came to Indiana Territory with his brother George Sharp. They settled in the Gibson County area before the state of Indiana was formed. At the time the land was wooded and Thomas and his sons cleared the land and developed fertile farm land. On April 3, 1809, Thomas Sharp voted in an election to elect two members to represent Knox County, Indiana in the General Assembly for the years 1809 and 1810. On March 20, 1813, Thomas Sharp's property was south of Owensville, Indiana. Later, his brother Benjamin and his sons joined the Sharp families. Many of the Sharp descendants married in to the Garrett families and they joined forces in developing farm land and communities. Some of the Sharps taught school, some joined in with local government, and some were involved with establishing schools in the area. Thomas died with 1826 in Gibson or Posey County, Indiana and his will was proved in 1826."
