Notes - John Sharp is not listed as the father of Henry Haywood Sharp. Henry's birth record indicates only his mother's name, Sarah. John Sharp and Sarah are listed as the parents of the other three boys. Henry Haywood is the only child in Alkmund parish that is listed without a father and the only other mother named Sarah who is listed in the parish marriage register is married to John Sharp. Since there is only one Sharp family with a mother named Sarah then it is a solid supposition that John Sharp is also the father of Henry Haywood Sharp. This supposition is strengthened by the following.
It is not known for sure that John Sharp's parents were John Sharp and Elizabeth Farrar. What is known for certain is that John's son, Henry Haywood Sharp, had a relative named Elizabeth A.K. Farrar. What her exact relationship was to Henry is unknown. What is also known is that in 1797 an Elizabeth Farrar married a John Sharp and they are just the right ages to be the grandparents of Henry Haywood Sharp. It therefor seems reasonable to propose that Elizabeth Farrar was Henry's grandmother.
