What connects William
SHARP/Elizabeth CRAVEN to Peter
SHARP and Janet McMILLAN?
I know it isn't proof, but William and Elizabeth had
a girl child that they named McMillan SHARP. I thought this was an
odd name until I found Peter Sharp/Janet McMillan.
According to the research of a Bonnar "cousin", the wife of our William Sharpe Ramsay, Janet Bonnar, had parents named William Bonnar and Beatrice McNeil. This William Bonnar's parents were Adam Bonnar and Janet Sharp.
According to the Mormon IGI this Janet's parents were Peter Sharp and Janet McMillan, bringing us back around to the same family that the Ramsay branch connected us to.
And one of Adam Bonnar and Janet
Sharp's children was named Janet McMillan Bonnar. She was our William
Bonnar's sister.
