Hi to my Sharp's, I am new to this list as of today and it has been a long road to find you! My name is Donna Davis and Andrew Sharp is my 10th Great Grandfather! My Sharp's go down several generations until finally a girl Sharp, Lydia, married and changed the name. Lydia Sharp was my 4th great grandmother and she married Simon Peter Wilcox. I have had a lot of trouble convincing the Sharp relatives that this is so but, finally have! They believe mw now! The rest of this letter will show my first 4 generations. I want to know about my family more than anything else in this world and hope to find more cousin's here who are more accepting and would be willing to share with me MY heritage!

We hear from Morris-Town that his Excellency the Governor, upon intelligence that a number of people in Scooley's mountain had enlisted in the enemy's service, had several of them apprehended, and committed to gaol. Among all the romantic stories (says a correspondent) which the tories propagate to delude the ignorant and credulous, their account of the French fleet is the most triumphantly impudent. This they represent as being dispatched by his Most Christain Majesty to co-operate with Lord Howe's squadron for suppressing the revolt in America. We hear from good authority, that this day se'nnight two British commissaries deserted from the enemy at New-York and came over to Jersey. They report that many others of their acquaintance intend to embrace the first opportunity to do the like, so great is their aversion to their present hopeless situation.
