"Thursday, July 11th, 1861. Be it remembered & known that Samuel H. Sharp & Miss Mary Alexandrien Lamier, were united together in the bonds of wedlock, & I rather expect at night there was some very sharp shooting took place, this however is only a surmise. Capt. Wrigley & Ed. Jones came in from their camp to attend said wedding, where all passed off pleasantly & agreeably to all in attendance. Weather clear & warm" . . . this event was recorded in the 1860-1866 Journal kept by Sam's brother-in-law / step-brother, James Madison Hall . . .

According to Ida Mae (one of Sam & Nellie's daughters) . . . "My father never married again again after my mother's death, and died when I was above fourteen years old. He is buried next to and on the right side of my mother, but there is no marker at his grave."
