Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 1,469 specimens collected within 10 miles of Samuel Sharp House between 1837 and 1975: 1,271 Animalia, 96 Fungi, 88 Plantae, 6 Protozoa, 4 Unrecorded, 4 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. P. Morgan, A.P. Morgan, Adler, K. K. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 1 working within 5 miles of Samuel Sharp House: 1 past producer. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Limestone, General. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The National Weather Service names Ashley, the town this property stands in, in 15 storm reports between 1994 and 2017: 14 thunderstorm wind, 1 hail. No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.

When this property was proposed for the National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is, and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain. It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s typewriter's.

The whole case file for this property - 1,384 words, 11 pages, reproduced complete.
