Do you know of Sharpe ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Sharpe. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Sharpe.<1>

Our sources for Sharpe (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Sharpe other than they indicate that Sharpe would be found somewhere in Walker County, Georgia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1922.
