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.

___________________________________________________________________________
It appears to be true that William J. Davis served in the Civil War in Company A, 1st Battalion, 3rd Brigade, Texas State Troops. Some of us were concerned that at age 45 he would have been too old to serve.
However, the librarian found the muster roll and the entire unit is composed of people mostly in their 40's. The Texas State Troops may have been something like a reserve unit. I am identifying the W. J. Davis on the muster roll as our William J. Davis by his age, given as 45 on the roll dated 16 Mar 1864. This is very consistent with his age as given on censuses.
The additional information given on the muster roll is as follows. W. J. Davis, Private, age 45, joined 15 Jul 1863 in Nacogdoches County, enrolled by Brig. Genl. F. B. Sublett, enrolled for six months, no value assigned to horses, equipment or arms provided by himself, "continued in service six months longer by the Governor of the State".
The other names on the muster roll for that unit are as follows.
Captain S. M. Hyde, 1st Lt. Tom A. Garrett, 2nd Lt. N. B. Branch, 2nd Lt. Philip D. Sanders, 1st Sgt. W. A. Winnord, 2nd Sgt. Eliel Rowe, 3rd Sgt. S. N. Bullock, 4th Sgt. J. T. Childers, 5th Sgt. V. J. Simpson, 1st Cpl. Wm. Anderson, 2nd Cpl. W. B. Campbell, 3rd Cpl. Thos. Hubbard, 4th Cpl. Samuel Hayter.
Privates: James Briley, T. L. Blakey, John Byron, J. W. Burke, E. B. Campbell, Louis Chirino, W. H. Crawford, W. R. Cone, W. J. Davis, David Denny, W. R. Donohoo, W. H. Durrett, Matt Finch, A. L.

The indexer noted that J. B. Johnson, J. R. McKnight, Jesse Wallace and James H. Wallace were originally on the roll but were crossed out because they changed to Eubank's Company.
