Son of Winfield Sharp

Gordon Sharp and his three brothers were adopted by Winfield Kennedy Sharp after their parents divorced and their mother married Sharp.

His biological father was Wall McKneely. Wall's mother's maiden name was Gordon, so that is probably where he got his first name. Early census shows his middle initial as D. I believe it was changed to White because that was maiden name of Winfield Sharp's ancestor. Gordon's brother was named Wall Hewitt McKneely Jr. After their mother divorced McKneely and married Sharp, his name was changed to Walter Hewitt Sharp.
