Notes for RICHARD E. SHARP:

Tom,

The only case I found was for the State of Tennessee vs. Richard E. Sharp for gaming (gambling).  Gaming was against the law in the 1870s and on.  The other Sharps in the state versus files at Project Preservation were African Americans and probably slaves of the Sharp family.
