"Compliments of yours truly" name card of Christian Sharp2

Since there are three successive generations of Peter Sharps, I am designating the generations, 1, 2 and 3. (While the names are easier to memorize, of course, it is also confusing!)

Peter Sharp1 (1729-1795) married Mary ____, and lived in Lancaster County
Peter Sharp2 (1765-1796) married Anna Yoder and moved to the Huntingdon County end of Big Valley
Peter Sharp3 (1793-1871) married Gertrude (sometimes written "Charity") Zook and lived in Brown Township, Mifflin County

For some of us there are also two Christians in succession. For them I will use the same designation.

Christian Sharp1 (1820-1866) married Mattie (Magdalen) Zook and lived in Union Township, Mifflin County
Christian Sharp2 (1854-1921) married Lizzie (Elisabeth) Yoder and lived in various townships in Mifflin County

For some cousins there is also a Christian Columbus Sharp (1892-1950), the father of Fannie Frey and Jake Sharp, and first cousin of Joseph E. Sharp. These two cousins are the founders of the annual Sharp reunion.
