Descendants of JOSHUA SHARP


Generation No. 2


      2. James Harvey4 SHARP (JOSHUA3, James2, Rev. Richard1)1,2 was born September 22, 1871 in Shelby county Kentucky, and died March 06, 1943 in Louisville, Jefferson Co, Ky. He married Minnie Agnes BROWNING August 11, 1897 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, daughter of Henry Browning and Mattie Durbin. She was born April 04, 1875 in Nelson Co, KY, and died May 27, 1943 in Louisville, Jefferson Co, Ky.

Notes for James Harvey SHARP:
James Harvey Sharp was born in Shelbyville, Ky. Son of Joshua the son of the elder James, who was the first of my direct line to migrate into Kentucky........ James Harvey was a farmer at an early age when his father died in Shelby Co. He knew farming and knew (very ) well how to build things. He moved into Louisville, Ky when he was 19 yrs old, probably got a job, then married 7 years later to his wife-Minnie Agnes BROWNING Aug 11, 1897. They married in Jeffersonville, IN.
To my knowledge, He had only one wife.

Harvey and Minnie had eight children

Their 5th child, a daughter Mattie May is my Mother..........
Harvey grew up in Shelby Co, and his Mother re-married to a Benjamin GAINES, and he had a half-sister (Lillie May) and a half brother Buford GAINES.
Now James Harvey's Mother may have re-married to Benjamin Gaines, HOWEVER; she must have divorced him and returned to the first married name of SHARP; Her tombstone in Evergreen Cemetery has her name as Martha Ann SHARP...and she is buried alone (of course) since her husband died when their son was only 6/7 yrs old. ......and he is in SHARP Cemetery in SHELBY CO. KY;


Also, I might add that Harvey & Minnie would have had 16 Grandchildren had they all lived. Two died as infants and there were 4 born after Harvey & Minnie died:
Those four were; Mary Jo Timmering, James Hafenbreidel, Wayne Sharp, & Linda Hafenbreidel.
