• Notes

  "James Elliott Sharp was a triplet, born August 6, 1794 in My Lady's Manor, Baltimore Co., Maryland. He was baptized in the St. James Episcopal Church in My Lady's Manor. James married Sarah Rush October 25, 1821 in Gibson County, Indiana. Sarah was born July 3, 1794 Kentucky." "He served in Captain Johnson's Company in the Indiana Militia from March 2 to April 15, 1813 in the War of 1812 and received bounty land in Richland Co., Illinois. (Cert. No. 25997 dated October 23, 1855. Also see Bounty Land Warrant No. 11.1116 for 40 acres, Record of Miscellaneous Military grants, Vol. 8, Page 237.) He was drafted into Captain Smith's company of foot militia at Gibson County, Indiana in January 1814. From there, he went to Post Vincent (Vicennes, Indiana) and from there to Fort Ellison on the Great Wabash River, twelve miles above Vincennes, Indiana. He was honorably discharged at Post Vincent in May 1814. "James and his family moved to Richland County, Illinois, where he farmed his land and raised a large family. James filed for a pension for his service in the War of 1812 under the act of February 1871. James Elliott Sharp died in the winter of 1875. Sarah filed for the pension sometime after his death in March 1879. A notice was filed November 15, 1883 that Sarah was dropped from the pension roll due to her death, and that she was last paid the amount of $8.00 on December 4, 1880." See John Sharp notes.
