Good luck. I have a feeling all the Sharpes originate with the original colonist, Capt William Sharpe. He had 2 sons Isaac and Samuel that we know of and there is no data on them except we trace the grandson, Robert Sharpe who owned the land know as "Varina" which is the land originally purchased by Capt William Sharpe and his bride Elizabeth north of the James River. ..... Some diligent researchers found the land deal in English records. His land is the first known recorded land deed in Virginia according to some Sharpe researchers. If we can locate Isaac and Samuel anywhere, we could trace their migration routes. Elizabeth was left a widow and remarried but she willed the land to her daughter from her 2nd marriage. No mention of the 2 boys mentioned in the 1622 census. I hoping someone on this list will have some information on them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hota_Wanagi" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 2:07 PM Subject: Re: [SHARP-L] Henrico Sharpes > Thanks Doris, but from what I have and been told, the line I am attempting > to trace first landed in PA (Paxton Township, Lancaster County 1738 land > plat) and then followed the trail down to South Carolina (land grant 1770 in > area of Long Canes, Abbeville District.) > walt > -----Original Message----- > From: dlag <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Date: Monday, May 15, 2000 12:38 > Subject: [SHARP-L] Henrico Sharpes > > > >My Sharpe's originate from Henrico County VA.
