Hi Do you have a birthdate on your William? I have a William Sharp b. 1796 ended up in Nova Scotia Canada around 1815 - 1818 and in 1820 had a land grant in New Brunswick. For the life of me not sure where William came from on the 1851 census it said he was Irish, but he may have come up from the States. Just a hunch.
