Following retirement in 1993 from a plant scientist position with USDA, Mr. Sharp initiated an effort to resolve the genealogy of his grandparents, and identify as many as many of their ancestors as possible. His grandparents were from the Sharp, Morrisons, Arbogast and Hill families. The Sharp and Morrison families were his priorities: They were his parents and had been less researched; resulting limited published information about. Fortunately, the Morrison and Hill family were well mingled in one region, Pocahontas County, WV. After 20 years he had accumulated enough data and he and his son Mitchell Sharp, published John Sharp and Margaret Blain Sharp Family History (2014), a 576 page volume including the lives of 4,400 descendants of John and Margaret. Other major publications include Grass Varieties of the United States (1994), Blessings and Burdens; Growing Up Rich and Poor (2006) and Conservation Plants, A USDA Success Story (1913).
