My Sharpe's originate from Henrico County VA. The colonizer was named William who bought land north of the James River in the London company, known as "Neck of the Land". He married Elizabeth.....and we know of two sons Isaac and Samuel in the census taken in 1620.If you come from this line, I have some info I can share with you. I am looking for Julius Sharp(e) who married Mary Ann Kelley about abt 1790 in Rockbridge County, VA...Doris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hota_Wanagi" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 9:36 AM Subject: [SHARP-L] Henry Sharp and Eady ?? > Hi All, > Am taking a different attack on this ancestor of mine than what I > normally do, so plse to bear with me.
