Birth of Mary Ann Sharp

Mary Ann Sharp was born on 10 Aug 1807 in New York City to John Sharp and Magdalena "Lena" Shaffer. Many of her siblings were baptized in the German Reformed Church on Forsyth St. in Manhattan, therefore it is likely that Mary Ann was baptized there as well (verification needed).
