believe they lived in McMinn County sometime after 1800. I believe Jonathan was born around 1784 in NC
(Watauga/Ashe County?) They had a son, Levi Wilson (b. 1811), who became a
minister in Watauga County, NC. If anyone can untangle the Boones and Wilsons of McMinn I
would be grateful

Searching for any information about the family of Simon (sometimes listed as Simeon) Sharp, who was born around 1839 and died in a Nashville hospital in 1865. He appears in the 1860 Meigs County, TN census with his wife, Jane Pierce/Pearce, a daughter named Elizabeth, and Catherine Sharp (listed as 12-15 years his senior and the primary housekeeper). "Sim" left his widow with an additional two daughters, appearing in the 1870 census, named Jenette and Margaret.
Simon married Jane in 23 August 1857 in Meigs County. He served for the United States Infantry (5th TN) as a Private in E Company. All census documentation claims TN as his birthplace. Any information regarding his parents or siblings would be most appreciated.
