Description:High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Jereboam Orville Beauchamp ( /dʒɛrəˈboʊ.əm ˈɔrvɪl ˈbiːtʃəm/; September 6, 1802 - July 7, 1826) was an American lawyer who murdered the Kentucky legislator Solomon P. Sharp, an event known as the Beauchamp-Sharp Tragedy. In 1821, Sharp was accused of fathering the illegitimate stillborn child of a woman named Anna Cooke. Sharp denied paternity of the child, and public opinion favored him. In 1824, Beauchamp married Cooke. During Sharp's 1825 campaign for a seat in the Kentucky House of Representatives, Cooke's alleged illegitimate child was raised as an issue. His political opponents publicized his alleged claim of denying paternity because the child was mulatto, fathered by a slave. Whether Sharp said this has never been determined with certainty; believing it so, Beauchamp swore to avenge his wife's honor. In the early morning of November 7, 1825, Beauchamp tricked Sharp into answering the door at home in Frankfort and fatally stabbed him.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
