Notes
Census-shared
The 1850 census lists Robert Looney Sharp as head of a household of eight people. They include Robert Looney Sharp and his wife Isabell, and their six children (Robert E., Isabell, William H., Sarah E., Missouri C., and Casander J. Sharp). This information is consistent with the data found in the 1830 and 1840 census listings. Robert Looney Sharp is listed in the 1850 census as a "farmer." He is also recorded as not able to read or write. Children William, Sarah, Missouri, and Casander are recorded as being in school during the year.Census-shared
Robert L. Sharp is listed as having been born about 1800 in Kentucky (Age 60). His residence in 1860 was St. Francois Township, Missouri; served by a post office in Fredericktown, Missouri. He is not listed as possessing real estate of any value, but his personal estate is valued at $200. Robert Looney Sharp's occupation is listed as farmer. Neither Robert Looney Sharp nor his wife Isabell are recorded as being able to read or write. Other residents of the household were wife Isabell Sharp (Age 57; born in South Carolina), son William H. Sharp (Age 23; born in Missouri), Williams' wife Mary Sharp (Age 22; born in Illinois), and Robert's daughter Casandra J. Sharp (Age 18; born in Missouri), who is listed as "domestic." William was the only individual over the age of 20 in the household marked as being able to read and write; Cassandra is marked was the only individual listed as having attended school within the year.Interestingly, Robert's son William H. Sharp and wife Mary Sharp are recorded in the same household. William is listed as possessing $500 of real estate and a personal estate valued at $200. It seems likely that although Robert was recorded as the head of the household because of his age, the farm where they all lived was actually owned by William.
