The documents below are directly associated with the family of George Clifton Sharp.


Marriage Certificate for Ida Irene Holloway & her first husband, William N. Finley.  William N. Finley died a little over one month after their marriage.  Nine and a half month's after their marriage, a daughter named Willie N. Finley was born from the union, only to die two weeks later. A little over three years after her first marriage, Ida married George Clifton Sharp, and together they had five children before her own early death..

Inside cover from a childhood bible of George's that he used in 1873.  Apparently this bible was previously his older brother's because a stencil "Robert T. Sharp" can also be seen on the pages.  Karen McClendon, a descendant of George's oldest sister, very graciously gave me this bible when she learned of my ancestry.
