  	Family notes of Thelma Sharp (daughter of William Luther Sharp, son of John T. and Salinda Sharp), Safety Harbor, Florida, April 1992 letter sent to Helen Sharp Morris: In the flu epidemic of 1849 Robert Bolen and two of his children, Lucy (named for Ann Lee Bolen's sister) and George died. Enoch, the oldest child who was 12 at the time, buried his father and brother and sister on the family farm. So many people died during this epidemic that no record was made of their deaths. Ann Lee was left with 5 minor children (this means they must have had seven kids). She kept them with her as long as she could and then parcelled them out to relatives. (See notes for Salinda Sharp.)
