Hey Zuzah, the only Jacob Sharp I could find was a confederate. Sorry for wikipedia but all I could find.

Jacob Hunter Sharp (February 6, 1833 – September 15, 1907[1][2]) was a Mississippi lawyer, newspaperman and politician, as well as a general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He played a prominent role of several major engagements of the Army of Tennessee in the Western Theater, including the Atlanta Campaign in 1864 where he was several times recognized by his commanders and peers for bravery in combat.[2]

Yes, I know. I searched and searched but I couldn't find him. Loc.gov said he was a Jacob Sharp.

Oh well, on an unrelated note, I just printed my Grant @ Fredericksburg church photo aswell as my Lee, Lee JR., and Walter Taylor photograph to hang in my room. I'm pleased.
