Excerpts of the book History of Gibson County, Indiana by Jas. T. Tartt & Co. 1884:
.
About this time, 1807, came Thomas Sharp, Luke and William Wiley, with their families, and settled in the timber ashort distance south of Owensville. A few years later the Wiley brothers moved into Posey County, where one of them was lost in a storm and frozen to death.
Thomas Sharp cleared a farm, where he settled and lived until his death, which took place about sixty years ago. The only one of his children now living
is John Sharp, who at the age of eighty years is a citizen of Montgomery County, 111. William Sharp brought his family with him and located in 1808 in the
timber southwest of the present town of Owensville. And the same year George Sharp, a son of Thomas, with his wife and family of partly grown children,
erected a cabin about two miles southwest of Owensville. He was the first clerk of the Salem Baptist Church. His children married and settled in
the neighborhood. His son, William, was captain of militia, and was also a deacon in the church, and was a man of considerable prominence in his neighborhood.
George and Thomas Sharp, with families of partly grown (children, came in 1808, and settled about two miles southwest of Owensville. George was the first
clerk of the old Salem Baptist church. The children married and settled around them. His son William Sharp was captain of militia, deacon in the church and
quite a prominent man in his time.
