!Notes: According to my grandfather's notes, obtained from family members, James Sharp was born 18 Jun 1825, and his parents were Joseph Sharp and Helen. Also, according to these note, his wife was named Jeanie Forsyth Taylor, and she was born 9 Jan 1827, and her parents were Cornelius Taylor and Isabella Forsyth. James and Jeanie's children were listed as: James, Jeanie, Robert and Helen. - I believe this information was handed down to grandpa, and probably contains some truth. For instance, I've noted my files already contain marriages of Graham and Forsyth, while Jean Taylor's mother was actually Isabel Graham. I suspect a little more research will show a connection here. It may well be that Isabella and Jean both used Forsyth for a middle name. Also, the names Joseph Sharp and Helen were definitly in James's ancestry. The dates may still be christening dates. The children's names were even real, except for Robert.
