The title of this book warrants some explanation. Let us start with John Sharp and Margaret Blain, who had six boys and six girls. Their first six children were boys and the last six were girls. All but Robert lived to maturity, married, and had children of their own. Considering the time and circumstances in which they lived, they must have had darn good parents. All of John and Margaret’s children have been featured in books by the author[1], except Robert (died as a youth), and the four girls, all living full and rewarding lives, but void of any recognition or exposure. Add to this the exciting ancestry of their spouses. For example, Samuel Ryder, Sr., progenitor of spouses of two of the Girls, arriving in Plymouth, MA on the next boat following the Pilgrim’s 1620 landing. Such was also true of the ancestry of the spouses of the ‘Other John Sharp Girls’ John Sharp is just another pioneer who deliberately wandered into Pocahontas County, Virginia three centuries ago and sunk deep roots which still linger in the lives of some county residents. He is a bit more than that to the author; he is a fourth -generation grandfather, about whom the author has written books ( John Sharp and Margaret Blain Sharp Family History (2011 )), and about most of his children, his children’s spouses and close acquaintances. For example, three volumes about Michael Arbogast, a distant grandfather of Nancy Elizabeth Arbogast, the authors grandmother. All these books have left one critical question unanswered; where did John Sharp come from. They offered many opinions, but concluded that his genealogical history prior to his residence in Rawley Springs, Virginia and his arrival in Pocahontas County with a wife and 12 children, remains unknown. This volume reviews new information on John’s history and reaches some conclusions. One new opinion proposes that the John Sharp that married Margaret Blaine was born May 19, 1730 in New Garden Township, Chester Co., PA. and later showed up in Frost, VA with his 12 kids. Supposedly, the grandfather of this John of New Garden was Anthony Sharp, who was born about 1675 in Gloucestershire, England and died in Dublin, Ireland.[2] Anthony married Hannah (unknown). One of the children from this marriage was also John Sharp, born in 1691 in Dublin, Ireland to English parents and died in London Grove, Pennsylvania on March 1748. This John married Ireland born Anna Bryan on 16 Feb 1726 in New Garden, Chester County, PA. Children from this marriage, all born in New Garden, Chester County, PA included our Frost John, born on 19 May 1730. True or another blind alley?
