Updated December 14, 2022. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) LAUGHLIN, Samuel Hervey, "A Diary of Public Events and Notices of My Life and Family and Of My Private Transactions including Studies, Travels, Readings Correspondence, Business Anecdotes, Miscellaneous Memoranda of Men, Literature, Etc From January 1st, 1845 to August, 1845 and Sketch of my Life from Infancy"

"Elizabeth, my grandfathers’ sister married John SHARP of Sullivan, Co. Tennessee. They were married early after or about the time of the removals of the families from Pennsylvania. He was a soldier of the Revolution, fought at Kings Mountain, and was with my grandfather, John DUNCAN (properly Dunkin), a member of the Convention of North Carolina for ratifying the Constitution of the United States in 1788. The place where they then lived, was at that day, believed to be in what is now, and which then included all East Tennessee, Washington Co. Tennessee, then North Carolina. By an honorable life of frugality and industry as a farmer, he made a large fortune. His wife, who died before him, was deranged for some years before her death. He had a number of daughters-Sally, married to Thomas McCHESNEY of Washington, Va. now both dead; Ann, married to Dreron LONGACRE of Sullivan Co., Tenn., both alive and surrounded by a numerous family of married and prosperous children; Margaret, married to the late Col. George W. CRAIG of Knox Co. Ky.; Marianne, married to Thomas McCONNEL of Washington Co. Va. now dead though her husband survives and is married again; Clarrissa, married to Mr. COWAN, of Sullivan Co. Tenn, who is, I believe also dead. He had no sons."
