Sources and Additional Information:

Her younger sister, Rachel Cawood b. 1833 married Joseph Sharp's older brother, Henry Haston Sharp b. 1835.

When Elizabeth and Joseph were living in Arkansas, Alexander Sharp and Catherine Dunn his parents were there too. Also several Dunns were in their area...all from TN. So there was an exodus of this family from TN to Arkansas

By 1900 Joseph and Elizabeth are living in Oklahoma. Elizabeth states had ten children and only three are living...

Stephen Koger wrote in email Oct 2005: "I suspect their move to Oklahoma had something to do with the Rock Island Railroad. There was a large shop for Rock Island in Horton, KS. There was also one in Canadian County Oklahoma. In fact that may have been Rock Island’s home base."
