He and Barbara lived in Orange Co., NC before 1785,and probably moved to Botetourt Co., VA about 1782. Heapparently left Virginia for Tennessee in 1789 and moved toPreble Co., OH in 1805, where he lived in 1814.Henry Sharp madedeeds to his sons called love deeds in Bold Valley in ClaiborneCounty. Henry, Sr., deeded land to five of his sons (the othersons were minor at this time, it seems). To Henry, he deeded200 acres in Claiborne County; to Daniel, 277 acres in ClaiborneCounty on the waters of Lost Creek; and similar amounts toConrad, Jacob, and George, in the surrounding community.HenrySharp, b. in Germany c1735, son of Isaac & Margaret Sharp. Isaac was b. 1712 and d. Mar. 8, 1783 in Lancaster (now Lebanon Co.) PA. He was tax collector for Hannover Twp. in 1756. This region suffered greatly during the French & Indian War, and many of the first settlers left the area. Henry and his brother, John, were made executors of their father's estate on Apr. 8, 1784, at which time Henry and his wife were apparently living inMontgomery Co., VA. The Potts Manuscripts, Vol. IX, Tulpehocken Accounts for 1744 list George, Ernst and Samuel Scherb (Sharp) as well as Johannes and Andreas Graff (Graves). About 1792 the Sharp, Graves, Gibbs, Snodderly and related families settled at Sharp's Station in what is now Union County, TN. This site is in Big Ridge State Park on the east shore of Norris Lake.Henry was a brother to John, Aaron and George Sharp and Mrs. Nicholas Countz (WCG)....Sometime prior to 1785 he lived in Orange Co., NC, as is indicated by a record stating that on June 3, 1785,Henry and Barbara sharp of Botetourt Co., VA, deeded to one Michael Holt land situated in Orange Co., NC. Henry's nameappears on tax lists for Orange Co. for 1799 on property valuedat $1480 and in 1780, 81 & 82 he was taxed on 225 acres of landin Orange Co. As his name does not appear on the tax lists after1782, it is probable that he left Orange Co. about this time for Virginia."In the Brief of Deeds of Montgomery Co., VA, Nov. 2,1795, appears this entry: 'Henry Sharp and wife, Barbara, toGeorge Williams, 112 acres on Sinking Creek.' At this time Henrywas a resident of Knox Co., TN. Tax records seem to indicatethat he left Virginia for Tennessee in 1789. He is believed tohave moved from Tennessee to Preble Co., Ohio, in 1805, where hedied in 1814.The first death in the township was that of HenrySharpe, a native of Scotland. After spending a great part of hislife in Germany, he came to Ohio and died in Harrison townshipabout 1814. He was buried in the Euphemia graveyard, and is saidto be the first man buried on the spot now covered withtombstones."2Note: Euphemia was on the National Road, whichwas constructed by the Federal government starting in 1811 fromCumberland, MD, to Vandalia, IL, at a cost of over seven milliondollars. Today Euphemia is in the NW corner of Lewisburg, onthe west side of SR 503. The cemetery is also calledRoselawn.Henry served with Count Pulaski's Light Dragoons during the American Revolution. His name during the time in the military was "Henry Shaup".
