Notes:

Horatio Sharp household
father Robert 78 KY/NC/NC

1880 census Crawford Co IN p298b
Robt H Sharp household
father Robert Sr 78 KY/US/US

I'm not sure why he is listed in both sons' households.

Ruth is his mother.

1840 census Harrison Co IN p251
Robert Sharp 2 M <5, 2 M 5-10, 1 M 10-15, 1 M 30-40, 1 F <5, 1 F 10-15, 1 F 30-40, 1 F 50-60, 1 F 60-70
[Benjamin <1, Stinson 4, Robert 7, Horatio 9, William 11, Robert 37, Sarah 3, Lydia 13, Sarah 30, Rachel Sinclair 50, Ruth 70]

Rachel is Robert's sister. She divorced her husband in 1835 and moved in with her mother. Apparently
Ruth and Rachel then moved in with Robert.

I'm pretty sure this is him:
1830 census Montgomery Co IN p36
Robert Sharp 1 M <5, 1 M 20-30, 1 F <5, 1 F 20-30
[William 1, Robert 27, Lydia 3, Sarah 20]
