July 23, 1836 - March 21, 1929
Exie Kever Sharpe was the ninth of ten children of Jacob and Mary Ann Correll Kever. After the death of her husband, Frank Sharpe, she and their children moved to Wolf Bayou, Arkansas. Her widowed father, Jacob Kever, was living with his son Jacob Artimus who had moved here in 1870. One of Exie's daughters, Amanville, had married John Barker and had taken up land in Section 19 at Wolf Bayou. Exie took a patent on land joining them in 1890. This land was beside the Batesville-Clinton Road and along the old Cherokee Boundary Line. Exie's children were (not in order of age): John, Walter Jacob, Orah, Matilda "May", Bevin, Amanville. With her Kever bloodline plus the large families raised by her children she always said she "reckoned she was kin to all of Adam's race".
