Mary Jane Sharp searching for her father's family
MR. EDITOR—I wish to find my father's people, whom he left in Georgia. His mother was named Jane; I cannot recall the names of his sisters and brothers. I have heard him speak of Josephine, Julia and Mary, and brothers Henry and Boney. Father's name was John, and some of his people lived in Macon, Ga.; he had one sister in Dalton, Ga., whom he went to see in 1867 or 1868. He was married, and his wife's name was Anna. In Georgia he belonged to the Widow Fields. He was sold from Georgia to Mississippi to a Mr. Simmons, and afterwards went by the name of John Simmons. After the war he changed his name to Sharp. His first name in Georgia was Pennet. I am his daughter. Address me, Mary Jane Sharp, at Kosciusko, Miss.
