  Anecdote	In a letter to Susan Sharp from Laura Wagner of Carroll County, Ohio, dated August 15, 1994, Mrs. Wagner states that Iona Albaugh Burrier's uncle was Solomon Albaugh, husband of Kesiah Sharp. Mrs. Burrier wrote a little history of the Kilgore Area, Goose Run, and Mingo. In this booklet which is in the possession of Laura Wagner, Mrs. Burrier indicates that Martha Denbow is the daughter of Elias Sharp. She also says that Martha was born in 1798 and married John Denbow in Harford County, Maryland in 1818. Martha went to Monroe County, Ohio and she had six sons who served in the Civil War.
