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.
