    Notes 
    • Some list Joseph as a son of William however:
      The only time Joseph is polled in Peters Creek is 1814 and is on another page than William. According to the laws of North Carolina, Joseph should have been polled no later than 1812, before his marriage not the year after. From the legal documents, Joseph was not in the Peters Creek District before 12 Jun 1813 when he obtained his Marriage Bond. Nor was Joseph in the tax district Samuel Sharp was living in or the StoneChimney/Stone Creek District for the years 1809-1813.
