She married James on 5 April 1826.
===
They had at least 10 children.
Their eighth child, James Marshall Sharp, was born March 23, 1844 in Mayo township, Rockingham County.
Soon after the Civil War began, he enlisted in Company F of the 45th North Carolina Confederate Infantry.
Although seriously injured at the Battle of Gettysburg in July of 1863, he recovered sufficiently to rejoin his Company. Once again he was wounded, captured at the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse in mid-May of 1864, and spent the remainder of the war in a Northern prison. After the war, he returned home with rifle balls in his chest and jaw to take up farming. The courage, persistence, and inner strength signified by James Marshall Sharp's bravery and conduct during the Civil War undoubtably served as an example of how to conduct one's life for his granddaughter, and namesake, Susie Marshall Sharp.
