Thomas Robinson Sharp was born in
Mount Carbon, Pa. February 22, 1834, when his father was
Superintendent of the Danville & Pottsville RR. His father, Thomas Sharp, was Superintendent
of the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR from 1840 to 1853.
Thomas R. was assistant to the Superintendent of the Virginia &
Tennessee RR from April, 1853-May, 1854. Thomas R. was an assistant
Superintendent of the East Tennessee & Virginia RR from May to
November, 1854. From April, 1855 to January, 1856, Thomas R. was an
assistant to the Superintendent of the Petersburg RR.
From April, 1857 to June 30, 1859, he was assistant Superintendent
of one of the Alabama & Florida Railroads. From October 1859 to
June 18, 1860, he was Superintendent of the Richmond & York
River RR (under construction when he joined it).
|
|
Thomas Robinson's middle name was
probably in honor of Moncure Robinson, brother of Conway, Edwin and
Wirt Robinson, of Richmond. Robinson had been the Surveyor and Chief
Engineer of the Danville & Pottsville RR during its construction in
the 1830's. He probably had a say in the hiring of Thomas as
Superintendent upon the completion of the road. In 1839, Moncure
became President of the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR and
invited Thomas to come be his Superintendent. Thomas left
the R. F. & P. RR to become the General Superintendent of the
Virginia & Tennessee RR in 1853 and made Thomas R. an assistant
to himself.
|
|
Sharp's wife was Gertrude E.
(Marsh), born July 24, 1835 in Virginia. In the 1860 census, Thomas
and Gertrude were living with Gertrude's parents (Joseph P. and Lucy
C. Marsh) and her sister (Julia A.) in Richmond.
|
|
Thomas and Gertrude had three
daughters: Lucy Ashby, born in 1862, Gertrude Virginia, born 1867,
and Julia Elizabeth, born 1875, and two sons: Thomas, Jr. born in
about 1870 and George Baker, born about 1873.
|
|
After the war, Sharp spent time
in Delaware, then became Superintendent of Transportation for the
Baltimore & Ohio RR. By 1878, he had established himself as a
railroad expert, headquartered in New York City. In that capacity,
he became the Receiver, a Director and/or the President of the Long
Island RR, the Cincinnati, Wheeling & New York RR, the Ohio Central
RR, the Central of Iowa RR, the Memphis & Charleston RR and,
finally, the Danville, Mocksville & Southwestern RR. |
|
Thomas Sharp died July 28, 1909
and is buried in Eden, N. C.
His wife died February 20, 1907 and is buried
with Thomas. |
