Register Report for William Bradford Generation 7 However, Dwight Elsefer's name was reflected on the 1930 Census without the "e." We have no idea why the "e" was added in most references. With a bit of humor, some of us say it's because we're from the educated part of the family Eva Grace Jones daughter of David W. Jones[39] was born on 10 Oct 1861 in Bedford, Cuyahaga County, Ohio[39, 62]. She died on 07 Feb 1943 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois[63]. Notes for Eva Grace Jones: General Notes: Eva was described as a beautifully groomed stately Victorian Lady. This description was by John (Jack) R. Sharp in his May 2, 1984 letter to me, recalling his Ravenna, Ohio home town experiences and the times when Uncle Dwight and Aunt Eve would come there on visits from Chicago. Dwight Elsefer Sharpe and Eva Grace Jones were married on 05 Jun 1881 in Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania[40].They had the following children: 53. i. Maybelle Alberta Sharpe was born on 15 Feb 1883 in Cook County, Illinois. She died on 15 Jun 1973 in Illinois. 54. ii. Donald Allen Sharpe[64, 65, 66] was born on 04 Dec 1887 in Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio[64, 65]. He married Audrie May Palmer on 16 Aug 1910[64, 67]. He died on 13 Jan 1960[64, 68]. iii. Pearl Levanna Sharpe was born on 10 Jun 1890 in Chicago, Illinois (?)[69]. She died on 31 Jan 1960 in Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio[70, 71]. Notes for Pearl Levanna Sharpe: General Notes: Pearl was born the same year as was born Vyacheslav M. Molotov(2/25/1890 - 11/8/1986), the Russian statesman and foreign minister,after whom the later-to-be-famous Molotov Cocktail explosive devise used in political riots was named. On September 29, 1890, the year of Pearl's birth, President Benjamin Harrison (R-IN) signed a bill creating Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC. The law had been written by Senator John Sherman (R-OH) and passed by the Republican-majority 51st Congress. Nearly three square miles, Rock Creek Park is twice as large as New York's Central Park -- and much more pristine. Hikers can encounter deer, coyotes and other wildlife in the heart of the nation's capital.

Register Report for William Bradford Generation 7 Pearl's death was reported to the law firm of Hinman, Howard & Kattell of Binghamton, New York in a letter dated September 12, 1962 from Alberta Kellie, regarding the Willis Sharp Kilmer estate that law firm was managing. 58. Henry Seth Sharpe-7 (Sarah Lavenna-6, Lansing-5, Bradford-4, Mary-3, Mary-2, William-1) [42] was born on 26 Aug 1874 in Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio[43]. He died on 20 Mar 1951 in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas[45, 43]. Notes for Henry Seth Sharpe: General Notes: His birth record at the Portage County Courthouse in Ravenna reports his name as Henry Seth Sharp. Harry is the English diminutive for Henry, which apparently he used throughout his life, and by which he named one of his two sons, and by which a grand son is named. In all references to his name in Texas, Harry has been the operative name used, including on legal documents. Harry is my paternal grandfather. His Portage County birth record is a secondary source document. At some point in history, the courthouse had a fire in which many original records were destroyed, included John's. Later, county staff people assembled a birth record from other records in the county and nearby cities to represent best efforts at reconstructing a birth file. Harry apparently was named after his uncle, Henry Sharp, his father's brother. Seemingly, of the four children in the family of John Elsefer and Elizabeth Sharp, only these two brothers moved to Ohio, John Elsefer Sharp II and Henry Sharp. The year that Harry was born, 1874, was the year that national leaders US President Herbert Hoover and English Prime Minister Sir WinstonChurchill were born. Sir Winston is the eleventh cousin, once removed, to U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, my half eighth cousin. Our ancestor in common is our seventh great grandmother, Alice Carpenter Southworth Bradford. FDR descends from her first husband, Edward Southworth, and my line descends through her second husband, Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford. Verdi's "Requiem" was composed in 1874 in Milan, Italy, as was Brahms' "Hungarian Dances" composed.And the first zoo in America was established in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania. Source: "The Timetables of History" 3rd Revised Edition, BernardGrun, Simon & Schuster, New York 1991, pages 434-435 Harry was born the same year as Thomas J. Watson, Sr., (2/17/1874 - 6/19/1956), the American industrialist who built IBM (International Business Machines, Inc.). It is of interest that on Mr. Watson's 122nd birthday, World chess champion Garry Kasparov beat the IBM super computer ''Deep Blue,'' winning a six-game match in Philadelphia. It took a long time to get the best of Mr. Watson's company! But, do not despair. Two years later, Deep Blue came back to beat Mr. Kasparov! Of course, I like this story, as IBM was my employer in1957-58 and in 1962-69.

Rockefeller Jr. (1/29/1874- 5/11/1960), the American philanthropist, who is the third great grand nephew of Johann Philip Rockefeller and Catherina Sharp, Harry's second great grand aunt and uncle.
