*Believe John was a twin. 1810 census for Martin shows two males <10. Martin and Hannah were married in Jan. 1809. Have nothing for another male born in that year or era.

**From headstone for Ann Sharp at Mt. Zion Methodist E. Church which is near the Martin/Henry Dilley homesteads. Beside headstone for Isabel Dilley.

 I have not found a connection between the two William Sharps. who married Rachel and Ann. Ann died around 1840. Don’t know what happened to her William. Have heard tales, but can't confirm, and don't want to repeat until they are.
