1. "SHEETS & SHARP FAMILIES"

I am looking for information on Andrew SHARP, b. 1839 in NC.  In 1880 he was living in Pulaski, Pulaski Co., IL with wife and 8 children.  His daughter, Minnie, b. March 1871, married Edward Jacob SHEETS , Sept. 20, 1887 in Pulaski Co., IL.

Between then and 1899, they had 5 children.  In the 1900 Census, Minnie is a widow living with the five children in Pulaski, Pulaski Co..  The youngest child was born February 1899.  I figure that Edward must have died some time after the spring of 1898. 

In the 1910 census, four of the children, Edna, Laura, Olga and Edward are inmates at the Odd Fellow's Home for Orphans in Lincoln, IL.  Minnie must have died between 1900 and 1910.

Any information on these people will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Diantha
