THOMAS SH.A.RP, OF BRADFORD.

THOMAS SHARP of Bradford, in the county of York, Eng., married Dor9thy, eldest daughter of Mr. John Weddal of Widdington, a younger branch of the Weddal's of Earswick, n~r York. · Her mother was a daughter of the family of the Cutt.a of Cam­ bridgeshire-. He was the second son of the owner of an est.ate called Woodhouse, near Bradford, . being a younger branch of the Sharps of Little Horton, in the same neighborhood; among whom there had been kept up, not only a succession of Thomas and John alternately for many generations, but, wnat was much more for their credit, a taste for letters and polite studi~s ; for there were some among them who were well known for their writings, insomuch that, it was said to be rare to meet with so many of the learned- authors so nearly allied. Tkore1iby. The family of the Sharp's had been veey ancient in Bradfordale; but all the writings (except some reg­ isters) by which any farther knowledge of them might have been gained, were lost or destroyed at the_ taking of Bradford, in the civil wa.rs. He was not a little inclined to puritanism according to the temper of those times, and much favored the parliament party. He was in great favor 'With the 6 SHARPE GENE.A.LOGY. Lord Fairfax, who made his headquarters at his house in Bradford, and showed him all the kindness, and did him all the senice that he could. Among other ex­ pressions of his favor, his lordship o:trered him a com­ mission, which probably he bad accepted, bad not his wife who was a strenuous royalist, with great difficulty persuaded him not to accept it. During these troub­ lous times it was her particular care to instil her own principles of loyalty to the king and esteem for the liturgy into their children, with what effect is espec­ ially seen in the after rank and position of the eldest son John. He died in 1670.

DR. JOHN SHARP,

ARCHBISHOP OF YORK.

DR. JOHN SHARP, Archbishop of York, son of Thomas Sharp of Bradford, was born at Bradford, on Shrove Sunday, Feb. 16th, 1644. His early training instilled into his mind that reverence for the Supreme Being which determined the pursuit of his subsequent life. He was sent to the school at Bradford until fifteen, during which time he was instructed by-bis father in writing shorthand and made to repeat every Sunday in the evening all that had been delivered that day in the congregation, which gave him such a perfect knowledge of this manner of writing as was afterwards of great service to him. At fifteen he had made such progress in learning as that his father determined. to send him direct to SHARPE GENEALOGY. 7 the University. He was admitted to Christ's College in Cambridge, April 26th, 1660, j11St before the resto­ ration of the King.

About this time he lost two of bis sons in two days and buried them the third. .He was appointed to preach Sunday, Jan. 27th, before King William III, and on the 30th, be­ fore the Ho11Se of Commons.

GRANVILLE SHARP.

GRANVILLE SH.A.RP, ninth son of the Rev. Thomas Sharp, D. D., Prebendary orthe Cathedrals and Col­ legiate Churches of York, Southwell and Durham, and grandson of Dr. John Sharp, Archbishop of York,_ born and educated in the bosom of the Church of England, he ever cherished for her institutions the most unshaken regard, while his whole soul was in harmony with the sacred strain-" Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will towards men," on which his life presented one beautiful comment of glowing piety and unwearied beneficence. Freed by competence from necessity, and by content from the desire of lucrative occupation, he was incessant in his labors to improve the ccmdition of mankind, founding public happiness on public virtue, he aimed to rescue his native country from the guilt and inconsistency of employing the arm of Freedom to rivet the fetters of Bondage, and established for the· Negro race, in the person of Somerset, the long disputed rights of Human Nature. Having, in this glorious cause, tri­ umphed over the combined resistance of interest, prejudice and pride, he took his post among the fore­ most of the honorable band associated to deliver 14 SHARPE GENEALOGY. Africa from the rapacity of Europe, by the abolition of the slave trade, nor was death permitted to inter­ rupt his career of- usefulness, till he had witnessed that act of the British Parliament, by which "the Aboli­ tion" was decreed. In his private relations he was equally exemplary ; and having exhibited through his life, a model of disinterested virtue, he resigned his pious spirit into the hands of his Creator, in the exercise of Charity, and Faith, and Hope, on the 6th day of July, 1813, in the 78th year of his age." The above was inscribed on a Mural monument, erected to his memory by the .African Institq,tion of London, in Westminster Abbey. On a bust of Granville Sharp, prepared by order of the Council of London, and placed in the -Council Ohamber at Guildhall, are the following words : "GRANVILLE SHARP, to whom England owes the glorious verdict of her highest court of law, that the slave who sets bis foot on British ground becomes at that instant free. Born Nov. 10th, 1735. Died July 6th, 1813." ~ong the many books of which Granville Sharp was the author was one published in 1774 entitled "A Declaration of the People's Natural Right.s in the Legislature," which places him at the head of the Lib­ eral party in England, at the time of the revolution, SHARPE GENEALOGY. 15 which would gladly have accorded to the Colonies the fullest liberty. "This Declaration was reprinted in the same year in almost every part of America, at the very time that the British Government had most fatally determined to enforce its unconstitutional and unjust pretentious, and thereby incurred an extraordinary national punishment,-even the forfeiture of aµ the Colonies which they bad intended to oppress, together with an immense loss of lives and·a most ruinous ex­ pense." In the year fo11owing he published another tract (or rather an enlargt,d edition of the last mentioned) entitled, "A Declaration of tbe People's Natural Rights to a Share in the Legislature, against the Attempts to tax America, and to make Laws for her against her Cousent; " and again, in 1775, "A Dec­ laration of the People's Rights to Share in the Legis­ lature; containing 8'. Defence of both America and Ireland, and stating the Illegality of those declara­ tory Acts of Parliament called 'Poining's .Acts.'­ The latter tract was reprinted in Ireland in 1776."

THOM.AS SHARP of Stratford. Thomas Sharp, a native of England, born about 1680, emigrated to Stratford about 1700. In 1701 he married Lydia Dickinson of Stratford, dau. of William, who emigrat.ed to Stratford from Eng., and was son of Rev. Frederick, who is said to have left a large property in England which has never been claimed by the heirs. In 1708 he was one of 36 pe­ titioners to whom the township of Newtown was granted on condition that they settle there within four years and remain four years, but the number of proprietors was subsequently increased to 48. He soon sold the extensive lands he had purchased in Stratford and removed with his family to Newtown. At a town meeting Sept. 4th, 1711, Ebenezer Prin­ dle and Thomas Sharp were appointed surveyors of highway for the year ensuing. By the several divis­ ions of plots of land during two or three years follow­ ing he and his heirs acquired several hundred acres of land, the larger part of the t-0wnship being still un. surveyed and undivided. He died in 1712, leaving :five children : Thomas, b. Mar. 18th, 1702; d. Apr. 17, 1765. Mary, b. Oct. 10th, 1703 ; William, b. Aug. 19th, 1705; John, b. Feb.1st, 1708. Elizabeth, b. Apr. 18th, 1712.

Thomas Sharp, son of Thomas and Lydia Sharp, was born in Stratford, Mar. 18th, 1702, and was therefore, at the time of his father's death in Newtown but ten yea.rs of age. Advantage was ta­ ken of this to deprive the family of a considerable portion of their rights as heirs of one of the original proprietors of Newtown. A protest made by the widow as late as Dec. 15th, 1751r- appears on the Newtown Records. He married Sarah Crozier, clan. of Richard and gr. - dau. of Wm. Crozier of Eng. Feb. 17th, 1745.

THOMAS SHARPE.

LUGRAND SHARP, Son of Thomas and Mary Sharp, was born in Ridgefield, Conn., June 1st, 1797. He was a great­ grandson of Thomas Sharp of Newtown, one of the original proprietors of that township by a grant of the legislature in 1708. His father died. when he was but eight years of age, after purchasing land on the east side of the Housatonic, south of Zoar Bridge, and commenced to build a house there. He learned the trade of shoemaking with Nathaniel Betts of Middle Quarter, Woodbury, and during the time saved money with which he afterward paid his ex­ penses while at school.

He was converted in 18111 and from that time he was a zealous worker in the cause he had espoused. In 1821 he bought of Nathan Harris of Southford the lot on which the Abbott mansion was afterwards built, with the house in the rear and a few acres of ground, renting it until his marriage in 1823 to Olive M, Booth, daughter of Ebenezer Booth, cabinet mak­ er, who built the house now owned by Mr. Cutts and also the dam and factory on the opposite side of the road. He was an earnest laborer in the Methodist Society formed at Southford, of which Rev. Samuel Hickox of Seymour was the first pastor. A union meeting-house was soon built and a class formed at Quaker Farms, of which he was the first lead,er. His house was always open to the hard-working itinerant preachers of those days, and he continued to be one of the most active members of the Southford church until 1843, when he sold out and came to Humph- 24 reysville, afterwards Seymour. In 1849 be built the house which he occupied until his death. He was for several years superintendent of the Sunday school, and after.ward an active member of it until within two or three years of his death. Always economical in his habits, he was able to give his children good edu­ cational advantages and contribute liberally to such benevolent and religious purposes as received his ap­ proyal. His last years were literally and fully devoted to the service of the Lord, and when his last sickness came he felt that his work was done and he waited in pa­ tience for the Master's call. It was his urgent desire that his funeral should be attended without unneces­ sary display. Considering that life was given but to prepare for eternity, he never indulged in trifling con­ versation, but-always grave and sedate-he yet died with a smile upon his face, no doubt at sight of the angels who came to bear him home. "Servant of God. well done ! Rest from thy loved employ I The battle fought, the victory woo, Enter thy Master's joy."

From the Nerr, York Christian Adooeate. LUGRAND SHARP, OF SEYMOUR, CONN. A noble life was ended when Father Lugran.d Sharp fell asleep in Jesus. For Baty-five years he was a member of the Methodist Church, having joined the society in those dark days when Dr. Em­ mons and other eminent New England di'rines were cautioning their parishione.-a to beware of the Methodists, for they were wolves in sheep's clothing. All that is changed now- The whirligig of time brings about its revenges, and to-day the "wolves" are confessed to be lovers of their kind, of their country. and of their country's God. W. C. SHARPE.

25 Father 8.llarp was born in Ridgefield in I i9i. Ile came of a sturdy stock, old New Englanders. His life was typical of Methodism. At an early uge be was an orphan and poor, but by dint of ho11est work, economy and perseverance, be attained a competency, and always had something to give-away. Converted at the age of fourtC'ln, he at once began to pray and la­ bor in the social meetivgs; and though laughed at for bis youthful zeal, he kept on working for Jesus through sixty-five long years. Iu South­ ford, where he seemed to be a pillar in the little Methodist society, he was class leader, steward, and Sund11y school superintendent. Many times Brother Sharp and one or more of his children eonsti­ tu tetl the entire week-night prayer-meeting, till at last, in answer to niany prayers, an extensive revival swept the town. and a 01eeting­ house was built. His house WIUI, of course, the itiueru.nt's. home, where the :Methodist preacher was always honored as the ambassador of God, and was welcome; and, as in many other like cases, one of the children ls now iu the itineraney, and others are faithful servants of Methodism. In 1844 he removed to Seymour, where he resumed his labors for his Master, and was ''faithful unto death." In a singular degree Father Sharp combined practical conscien­ tiousness and integrity with an iµtense spirituality. Moral men are often uuspiritual, and spiritual men are sometimes defective in con­ duct, but Father Sharp WllS at once righteous and devout. Ile had the keenest sense of justice, and all who knew him felt that he walked with God. Like many others of the fathers of Methodism, be was mighty in prayer. When he began to wrestle with God we all felt that it was time to prepare for a blessing, for God was on the giving hand. And his faith was shown by his ,vorks. Dnrin: the last nine years of bis life he gave over $ l,500 to the Missionary Society of onr Church, be­ sides what he gave to other departments of Christian work. Brave old man ! though dead, he will still Jive in many lives made more beantifnl by his example and his deeds. JOSEPH PULLJIU.."i. 26 STRATTON.

He filled Yarious appointments honorably, for more than forty years. Was made supernumerary in 1835.

Fron, Mau. Hist. Soc. Col., 2nd Seriu, 'P'ol. 1, p. 261. On a stone in Sudbury, Mass., is this inscription: ''Capt. Samuel Wadsworth of Milt.on, his Litmt. Sharp of Brokline, and 26 other s,1ldiers fighting for the defence of their country, were slain by the Indian enemy April 18th, 1676, and lye lu:uied in this place." The son of Lieut. Sharpe was one of the petition­ ers to the general assembly of the colony, Aug. 13th, 1704, for the incorporation of Brookline as a distinct 46 town. A grandson of the lieutenant lost his lift, in an expedition to Canada against the Indians.

COL. SOLOMON P. SHARP. In the cemetery of Frankfort, Kentucky, is a dark gray monument bearing the name of Solomon P. Sharp. The inscription states that he "was assassin­ ated while extending the hand of hospitality, on the morning of November 7th, 1825, in the thirty-eighth year of his age." Col. Sharp was•in his day one of the foremost men of Kentucky. During the administration of James Madison be had served two terms in Congress, at which time he was the room-mate and intimate friend of John C. Calhoun, who is said to have declared that Sharp was "the oldest man of his age that had ever crossed the mountains." He had previously been several times elected t-0 the Kentucky Legisla­ ture, and under Gov. ..idair was attorney-general of the state. At the time of his death he had settled in Frankfort as a very successful lawyer, but had recent­ ly been again elected to the legislature as the cham­ pion of the "relief party." The "relief" and ''anti-re­ lief" controversy had been for some time agitating the state, and the fact that Col. Sharp was regarded as a chief exponent of the relief movement, and that the session of the legislature was to begin on the day following his assassination, lent a_ peculiar emphasis to the excitement that followed. Fronting the capitol square in Frankfort on its northern side, and only a few steps eastward from the Frankfort and Louisville railway, -is a large brick mansion, three stories in height, extending far back, with ample accommodations for the slave help of "the good old times." This house was built about 1815, and was the house of Col. Solomon P. Sharp in 1825. SHARPE FAMILY IN NEW JERSEY.

The following ncconnt of the Sh11.rpes of Now Jersey, is tnkr.n by- Jll!r­ miBllion from Sho1ll'WI' "History of Fenwick's Colony." The family nmne is there spelled Sharp, but a letter from Mr. Shorirds to the writer dated Feb. 26tu, 1880, states that the omi88ion of the e WBII an error of the printer, the author not seeing the proof until that signature bad been printed. Mr. Shourds compiled the account to a great extent from o~al dOCUD1eut8 and manliscripts in the po811888ion of Dr. Ed­ ward S. Sharpe of Salem, which have-been handed down from genera­ tion to generation, and the account may be relierl upon as correct. The Sharpes are an ancient family of the South of England. They held a large landed estate in Til­ bury, in Gloucester, near the city of Bristol. An­ thony Sharpe, the subject of this sketch, being the eldest son of that lineage of the Sharpes, inherited the great landed estate of the family, in the county of Gloucester. He was born about 1630, and early in life became convinced of the doctrines of George Fox; likewise one or two of bis younger brothers became members of the persecuted religions sect, called Friends or Quakers. Anthony Sharpe, the eldest brother, emigrated from Tilbury, England, in the time of Cromwell, and settled in Queens county, Ireland, and purchased a large county seat called Roundwood, near Monot Mellick. That was his home, although he resided and did an extensive mercantile business in the city of Dublin. The estate called Ronndwood is still in the possession or the Irish branch of the Sharpe family to thi9 day. Anthony Sharpe purchased a large landed estate in East and West Je.rsey. On ·the 22d of 4th month, 48 1681, he bought of Roger Roberts of Dnblin, the one­ tenth part of the one-hundredth part of West New Jersey. Again in a deed, dated 16th of 9th month, 1700, he purchased of Henry Mason and Elizabeth bis wife, and William Barnard, the sixteenth of the twentieth part of the one-bundreth part; he likewise bought of the same parties the following day the tenth part of the one-hundredth part of West New Jersey. Anthony Sharpe also purchased of Thomas Warner of Dublin, the one-third part of the one-half part of John Haywood's, one of the East Jersey proprietors. The deed was dated 14th of 10th month, 1682. The said John Haywood, William Penn, Gwinn Laurie, Robert Barclay, and eight others, all being members of the Society of Friends,_bought from George Oarterett East New Jersey. The said John Haywood sold his one-twelfth to Thomas War­ ner of Dublin, for ·£350 sterling; not for himself alone, but including in that transaction, as eqnal parties, were Anthony Sharpe and Samuel Claridge ; both of these were citizens of Dublin. A division was made of the one-third part each owned, that being . in 1682. Afterwards Anthony Sharpe pur­ chased of Samuel Claridge one-ha.If part of bis origi­ nal one-third of John Haywood's moiety.z..as one-half part of the original one-twelfth of East ~ew Jersey. This deed bears dat-e 20th of 2d month, 1694. Anthony Sharpe, the elder, had three sons-Isaac, Joseph and Daniel, and one daughter-Rachel Sharpe. He died in the year 1707, and was buried in the ancient Friends' burying-ground in the city of Dublin. Isaac, the eldest son of Anthony, married and had three sons-Anthony, Isaac and Joseph Sharpe, and four daughters; their names were Mary, Sarah Mason, Raebel and Margaret Sharpe. An­ thony, the eldest son of Isaac Sharpe, married and bad two children, one of• whom whose name was Isaac, died during his mii:iority. · The daughter, .J,!) Francis ·s1hrq,e; · marriecl Lnke Flood of Queens county, Ireland. The family of Floods are an an­ cient family of both England and Ireland. Francis and her husband resitled on the great landed estate called Roupdwood, that was owned by the first An­ thony Sharpe. Mary~ the daughter of Isaac Sharpe, probably died unmarried. Her sister Sarah Mason Sharpe, married a person by the name of Daniel Delaney, and Margaret, the youngest daughter of Isaac Sharpe, manied a man by the name of Hill ; they afterwards emigrated to America. Anthony Sharpe, 1st, bequeathed to his third son, Daniel Sharpe, and his heirs in male line in the order of primogeniture, one-fourth part of his lands in East Jersey. He bequeathed to his second son Joseph, and his heirs in the male line,.one-fonrth part of all his lands in East New Jersey, and in default of such issue to his eldest son Isaac Sharpe. ' Joseph .Sharpe, second son of Anthony, married Catharine Sewage of Ireland, had one daughter. Isaac, the second brother of Anthony, 2d, emigrat.ed to America, and settled in West Jersey, at a place called Blessington, now known as Sharpt.own. He brought the frame of his house with him from Ireland, and the site where be built bis house is on the farm owned at the present time by Joseph Robinson. The tract is known .as "The Park" to this day by the oltl inhabitants in that section. It is probable that the said Isaac Sharpe emigrated about the year 1730. He was appoiµted Judge of the Court of Salem county, by George II., King of England, 1741. This is the copy: "George the Second, by the Grace of God, of "Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender "of the Faith, and to our trusty and well beloved "Isaac Sharpe, Esq., Greeting: We, reposing especial "trust and confidence in your integrity, prudence, "and ability, have assigned, constituted and appointed, ''and we do by these presents assign, constitnte and 50 "appoint you, the said Isaac Sharpe, to be our officer, "Judge of Inferior Court of Common Pleas, to be "held in and for our county of Salem, in our Province "of New Jersey, giving and hereby granting to you "the said Isaac Sharpe, full power and authority to "exercise and enjoy all power and jurisdiction__, be­ "longing to the said Court, and to hear, try and Cleter­ ''mine all causes, and quarrels which is recognizable "in our said Court, and to award execution therein "accordingly. In testimony whereof, we have caused "the Great Seal of our said Province of New Jersey "to be hereunto a:fftted.

HOLME. Isaac Sharp married a daughter of Thomas Lam­ bert, who resided near the falls of the river Delaware, in the county of Burlington, previous, however, to the marriage, his father Isaac, then residing on his coun­ try-seat, in Ireland, called Roundwood, made a settle­ ment on him, it being six hundred acres of land at Blessington, situated in the township of Pilesgrove, in the county of Salem, and all other (his) the said Isaac· Sharpe's lands in the said county of Salem and likewise one moiety, or half of all other the said Isaac Sharpe's lands within the said province of East and West New Jersey, in America, except 1050 acres of land on Cooper's creek, in the county of Gloucester, known by the name of Rush Hill ; also all the said Isaac Sharpe's personal estate in the county of Salem, or elsewhere in America. Isaac Sharpe, the emigrant, and his wife, bad three sons and five daughters ; their names were Samuel, Edward, Anthony, Mary, Jaiel, Hannah D., Sarah, Rachel Wyncoop, and Elizabeth 51 Sliarpe. The time of the death of Isaac Sharpe, tbe father of the above mentioned chiltlren, is not men­ tioned; prouauly before the year 1770. I think l1is name is not mentionecl in Salem County Court records after that date. He had a birth right in the Society of Friends, and he continued to be a member during liis long and active life. Anthony, the youngest son of Isaac Sharpe of Sharptown, espoused the part of thA patriots dnring the Revolutionary struggle. He lay concealed in the barn whi1st the British were in the neighborhood of bis home, and Samuel Humphries, the projenitor of the present families of Humphreys, then a small boy, carried provisions to him in his place of refuge. He, however emerged from his retreat, and went with Dr. Ebenezer Elmer, (the father of Judge L. Q. C. Elmer) of Bridgeton, to Fort Ticonderoga., to participate in the engagements on the frontier. It was here that, although a Quaker, be attained the rank of Colonel in the army ; and his name no,v stands coupled with the above grade on the roster of the officers of the .American forces. When driven from their home the siJver plate and other valuables of the Sharpes of Sharptown, Wf're conveyed across the Delaware river to their relatives, the Delaneys, who resided at Wilmington, Delaware. The man who rowed the boat was named Jonas Keen, and he related the cir­ cumstance on his death bed as one that had made a deep impression on his memory. The said Jonas Keen lived to the very advanced age of ninety years, and has decendants now residing in Salem. Edward, the second son of : saac Sharpe, the emi­ grant, as stated beforez.. married Martha Thompson of Sussex county, East Jersey. She was the daughter of Colonel Mark Thompson of Marksboro, in the above county, and who served with the rank of Colonel in the Revolutionary army. Whilst engaged under General Dickinson, at the battle of Princeton, 52 he was severely wounded, ancl was carried nuder the same tree to which the sollliers had taken General Mercer. Dr. Jacob Thompson Sharpe, formerly of Salem, grandson of Colonel Mark Thompson, alluded to above, was (until children were born to him by bis wife, Hannah Ann Smith 0f Philadelphia,) the sole surviving representative of the family of Sharpe's, who emigrated to Salem county from Ireland; which is confirmed by the report of Mr. Gifford before the Historical Society of New Jersey, at Newark, several years ago, which expressly states that the above as­ sertion is true. Then, are other families bearing the same name in Salem county. likewise in New Jersey, which are remote from the Sharpes of Blessington, or Sharptown. Edward Sharpe alone married, the others dying without issue. He married the daughter of Mark Thompson, as before· stated; they had four sons-Samuel, Jacob Thompson, Breckenridge and Edward Sharpe, and one daughter-Mary; all of whom died before attaining their majority, except Jacob Thompson Sharpe, who studied medicine ancl practiced that profession many years, in both East and West J erse1; and now resides in Cumberland county. He married, as before stated, Hannah Ann, daughter of Edward Smith, a prominent merchant of Philadelphia, and a natiYe of Salem county, as were likewise bis ancestors for several generations. Dr. Jacob Thompson and his wife, Hannah Ann Sharpe, bad six children, four of whom are still living, viz.: Dr. Edward S. Sharp of Salem; Sallie M. Westcott of Bridgeton, Alexander Henry Sharpe, a lawyer of AtlaIJtic county and Thomas M. Sharpe, Esq., of Port Elizabeth, Cumberland county. Martha Thomp­ son Sharpe and Jacob Thompson Sharp are deceased. Joseph Sharpe, younger brother of Isaac Sharpe of Blessington, near Salem, resided at the same place and doubtless emigrated from Ireland simultaneously with bis brother Isaac. Isaac_ Sharpe, 1st, did by bis fast will, bearing date 16th of 3d month, 1734, give to bfa two sons, Isaac and Joseph, all bis lands wbat­ soc\'t'r in East and West Jersey, ratifying and con­ fi!'mfog the abo.e mentioned conveyance to his father b_;' '.l'homas Warner to bis heirs and assigns forever. William, the younger brother of Anthony Sharpe, borne in Gloucestershire, England, married a young waman by the name of Covert; they had a son by the name of '.rhomas Sharpe. Anthony Sharpe, his uncle uncle, gave to him, who 'Yas then about emigrating to America, and in consideration of his, Thomas Sharpe, looked after Anthony Sharpe's possession, there for bis ease and best advantage; he, the said Anthony Sharpe, granted and confirmed unto him, and bis heirs, something over 1,000 acres that An­ thony Sharpe bought of Roger Roberts of Dublin, in 1681; and the deed of conveyance was made the same year. This property was located on the King's High­ way ; Salem County Alms House farm is part of it. Thomas Sharpe had a son Isaac, who built in the first decade of the eighteenth century a large and sub­ stantial brick dwelling, which is still standing, in good repair. William Austin is now the owner. That family of Sharpes, like those of Sharptown,• had a large deer park, which is stiJI visible. Thomas, the father of Isaac Sharpe, had a family burying ground, which was common at the first settle­ ment of this country. John Fenwick was buried there; the reason assigned was--Fenwick was de­ sirous to Jay with bis wife's relatives, the mother of his children, she being a cousin of Thomas Sharpe. Isaac, the son of Thomas Sharpe, was one of the Justices of Salem court from the year 1709 to 1739; he was an active and useful member of Salem Meet­ ing of Friends. Thomas Chalkley mentions in his jour­ nal being at the house of his worthy friendlsaacSharpe, in 1730. Isaac's descendants are not numerous ; be had a grandson that married Grace Bassett; their 54 children _were-Abraim and WilJiam Sharpe. Dr. Griffith, who resicled in Salem a number of years ago, married a lady of that family. Ibid, p. lw.J-3. Eli Sharpe married Caroline Sinnickson, and bad elt-ven children-William S., (Benjamin. F., and Sin­ nickson deceased,) De Witt Olinton, Harriet, Irene, (Maria, nml Eli deceased,) Louisa G., Elizabeth R., and Kate Sharpe. William's occupation is that of a printer. He was the Editor and Publisher of the Salem Standard for a number of years; at this time he publishes a paper in the city of Trenton; be-mar­ ried Indiana Leatberbury, from Marylanll. De Witt Clinton Sharpe, married Ann Waddington, they have two children-Kate and Eli Sharpe. Harriet Sharpe married William Davis; they have four children­ Sallie, Clinton, Louisa, and Harriet, the others are unmarried." (1876.) Ibid, p. 393. Thomas Sharpe, member of Newton ,Meeting, W&$. clerk of the Yearly Meeting of the Friends in 1693. Ibid, p. 404. The family burying ground of the Sharpes was in Upper Mannington, near where the almshouse has sin<~e stood. Ibid, p, 462. Isaac Sharpe was deputy sheriff of Salem in 1706. Ibid, p. 472. "One mile and a half from the Hall dwelling stands a large brick dwelling, built by the em_inent Friend, Isaac Sharpe. I have no record when 1t was erected, but I think, judging from the time Isaac Sharpe was an active man in the public affairs of this colony, (he being one of the Justices of the Salem Courts early in the last century,) it would be safe to fix the time it was built as early as 1700. Not far from this ancient dwelling the mortal remains of John Fenwick lie mingled with it.s mother earth in the Sharpe family burying ground."

EARLY ORTHOGRAPHY AND HISTORY.

Compiled ft•on1 the S.i11tory or Bradford, Eug,, by John ,Tam1>11, 11nd ot,her 110nrcfl11,

This is a family of great antiquity in the West-Rid• ing of Y orkshirt,, Eng., and especially at Bradford and Litt]e Horton, where the earJiest records of it exist. In a deed of the 14th century, they appear as persons of wealth and position• dealing with property there ; in it the name is spelt "Scharpe ;" and again "Alice Scbarpe" Jiving at Bradford, is recorded to have paid 4 pence poll-tax in the 2d year of Richard II,-that is between June, 1378, and June, 1379. t This spell­ ing of the name was long continued, as it was still so written by "Robert Scha.rpe of Scrayingham," about 1553; but other branches of· the family Jiving at tbe same period, omitted the c. They appear to have multiplied and spread rapidly in the West-Biding, but not to have entered the East-Richng much be­ fore 1530, or the North-Riding much before 1590;

"Snbeequently they engaged in the wool trade, for which Bradford was not,ed ; eepecially wool stapliDg. tThe name ill of Saxon oripi aDd 11'811 of frequent OClC1U'1'enCe amoug the Dutch aettlen of New .Amsterdam In the eeventeeutb century. See pages 68 and 69. 74 SHARPE GENEALOGY. and between those dates they set~led also in Notting• haru11bire. The wills of 92 persons of the name, alJ 1lated between the ycnrs ViOl and 1602, are preserved at York ; and these 9~ resided in about 63 different places. Down to the year 1au3 they all (with the exception of Robert Scharpe, already mentioned), wrote their name Sharpe ; bnt after that time the f\nal e was frequently omitted, and thtt name appears to h,we bet'n written i1111ifferently with it or without it, from that date to the present day,! One branch sf>ttled at l\fothley, whcire John Scharp was assessed in 1523, as having £4 in goods; Marga­ ret Sharpe made a will ahont 1M4, Rilfl Robert Sharp about M56. Another branch originated in John Sharp, (~d son of ,John Sharpe of Horton), who settled nt 'fong, and was assessed in 1575, as having "20 shillings in land." He had issue, John Sharp of Tong, living ~n 1625, who married there, Isabel Goodard, and had U.ichar1l Sharp of Tong who was buried at Bradford in 1638. Richard left issue, Themas of Tong, Mary, and Ellen. Another branch was at Scholeruoor, where Alice Sharp was Jiving in 1627. In the "Valor Ecclesias," made in the 26th year of Henry VIII, (between April, 1534, and April, 1535), is the name of Thomas Sharpe, incumbent of Rothwell, near Ledshau1,

A William Sharp of Oarlton wu buried at Ponte• tract, 8th April, 1676, but before that date, about the year 1600, another aettlement had been made at Fairburn in the Parish of Ledsham. The Registers there begin in 1539, but are missing between 1597 and September, 1606. In the duplioate Registers of this Parish, pre1e"ed at York, beginning in 1600, there ia thia one entry : "1605, Elizalteth, daughter of Richard Sharpe, baptized 26th March," and it is probable that she was the Elizabeth Sharp who was buried at Pontefract,• 11th February, 1683.

.ARCHBISHOP SHARPE A.ND THE RoBBER.

It was a custom with Archbishop Sharpe, in bis journeys, generally to have a saddle horse attending his carriage, that, in ease of feeling fatigued with sit­ ting, he might have the refreshment of a ride. In .his advanced age, and a few years before his death, as be was going in this manner to his episcopal resi­ dence, and was a mile or two in advance of his car­ riage, a decently-dressed good-looking young man on horseb&ek came up to him, and, with a. trembling hand and faltering tone of voice, presented a pistol to his Grace's breast, demanding his money. The Archbishop, with great composure, turn~d round, and, looking steadfastly at him, desired that he would remove that dangerous weapon and tell him fairly his condition. "Sir, sir," cried the youth with great agitation, " no words ; 'tis not a time for words now; your money instantly!" " Hear me, young man," said the venerable prel­ ate ; " come on with me. I, you see, am a very old man, and my life is of little consequence; yours seems far otherwise. I am Sharpe, the Arc"hbishop of York.

"Wheu I come to write of such meu 118 JoMeph K. Sharpe, who have by pen,everance, industry, and economy so 11ucCC88fully carved out their own fortune and standing iJI society, I am at a 1088 to convey to the reader a proper appreciation of their true worth and merit. Mr. Sharpe is a ms.n of fine personal appearance, above the ordinary size, and iJI the prime of life; a smiling and genial countenance, with man• ners pleasiDg and captivating, and meets his. many friends with a wel. come recognition and OJM."n hands. Re was born in Windham County, Connecticut, rahioo. on a farm, where he acquired the mainspring of snccess, i. e., industry and economy, without which none succeed. When quite young he sought a home in the great west, his only fortune a good constitution. temperate habits, sterling integrity lll.d a good edu• cation. With this capital he came to Indianapolis in 1845. "' "' "' ms good fortune and success have not been confined alone to bUlliness; he has been equally so in his domestic relations. He came to this place a single as well as a young man. but soon found one with whom he was willing to join in a lifetime partnership, in the person of Miss Graydon. daughter of the late Alexander Graydon, one of our most estimable citizens. "' "' "' It is a commonly received opinion that men who carve out their own fortunes become penurious, but it is the re­ verse in this case. He has ever been liberal to the poor, donating largely for the erection of churches, and for all charitable and benevolent pur­ poses.•·

In the foregoing account or this family there are evident errors and some repetitions (eee families or David, p. 178, and John, p. 175), but as the several manll8Cl'ipts are received too late for further inves­ tigation it is given as sent by dift'erent persons, hoping at some future day "t.o find out the right." Except in the coufu.sion or names the account is reliable, and the family is one ofthe most respected or north­ em New Jersey.
