THE SHARP/SHARPE FAMILY

We heard rumors of indian blood and have just learned that it is probably true. The story goes that the mother of Lousina was an indian named Hoop Lickingcreek. The information we have for her is that her name was Sara (Sarey) Hoop. Could Sarah be her americanized name? The history of Fulton County lists a George Hoop as a resident of Belfast Township in 1785. Could he be a brother or perhaps father of Sarah? We do not know a lot about this family at present, but apparently the family was among the Earliest settlers to the area. The oldest ancestor of record, George Sharp was born in Fulton County, Pa in 1793. He lived in an area near Licking Creek and the township was named Licking Creek Township.
