General Notes:
MARY ELIZABETH RUSLING, second daughter of James and Mary Fowler Rusling, was born November 4, 1804, at Newburgh, near Hackettstown, New Jersey, and died October 3, 1876, at Trenton, New Jersey. She married John P. Sharp (son of William C. and Ann Sharp), who owned a fine farm on the Musconetcong Creek, about a mile from Hackettstown, New Jersey. She was educated at Wilmington, Delaware, and was of a bright and lively disposition, and a devout Methodist.
About 1850 her husband sold his farm, and removed to Trenton, where he rented different farms at or near there (Crosswicks, New Jersey; Pennington, New Jersey; Morrisville, Penna., etc.), and was a produce merchant the remainder of his life. He was a good husband and father, and a devout Christian, and respected and beloved by all who knew him. My aunt had fine musical talent, and transmitted it to her children, and her house was the home of Thomas V. Fowler, at different intervals for many years. She was his favorite American relative, I think, after her brother, the Rev. Joseph Rusling
Mary married John P. SHARP on 1 Nov 1821 in Newburgh, NJ. (John P. SHARP was born on 4 Jul 1798 and died on 25 May 1880.)
