Re: Seeking information about James Sharp and Elizabeth Baker
1 person found this helpfulHi,
I found an Ephraim Sharp on www.familysearch.com you can do a free search after joining. I found two Ephraim's one was in the Revolutionary War and one was in the War of 1812 and he or a widow received a pension. They may both be the same person. You will need to go to the website to look up the information.
