I am descended from the NUGENT/NEWGENT fqmily of Fauquier Co. LIncefield Sharpe's mother was a NEWGENT. The Fauquier Co. March 1778 Court appointed Joseph James Capt; Linsfield Sharpe second Lieutenant & William Smith Ensign 24 March 1778. July Court 1781 appointed Linsfield Sharp and William Bayler Captains. Excerpts from a book FAUQUIER COUNTY IN THE REVOLUTION, published by Warrenton, VA Fauquier County American Bicenennial Commission, 1976: Page 257 – “The company raised by Captain Benjamin Harrison was apparently broken up. An undated roster has been found showing James Key as 1st lieutenant, Linsfield Sharp, 2nd lieutenant and Thomas Conway, ensign. In March, 1778, Sharp was with Captain Joseph James.” Page 424 – “On the 1st of August (Apparently 1781) Captain James Winn took another company of Fauquier men to the vicinity of Yorktown. Linsfield Sharpe, recommended for a captaincy on the 23rd of July, was second in command and Thomas Conway was 1st lieutenant. Sharpe soon took over as captain.” Page 432 – “The next morning, the 21st of October, they took off for home. “Marching through the autumnal sunshine with their “parcel” of prisoners (about 2,500), their hearts were gay and their steps were light. Two of the companies were almost wholly from Fauquier, those of Captains James Winn and Thomas Helm. The former marched under the orders of newly promoted Captain Linsfield Sharpe.” Elmer Compton Sarasota, FL [email protected] sue ashby <[email protected]> wrote: > I found this the other day... > My husband's 1st Enoch Ashby has been listed in several sources as > having been a Quartermaster in Capt.

Dear Elmer, Question: Could your Lincefield Sharpe be the witness on the Will of Robert Embrey below? Question: Would you know who the parents might be for Ann A. Sharpe that married Sidney F. Chapman? Thank you, Amanda I have an elusive Jones line which I know is swirling around many of these names most likely the William Jones that was on the list of Capt. Benj. Harrison's comp. of Volunteers of Fauquier County. I saw the name "Linefield Sharp" and this might be a lead for me. William Stone was married to widow Mary Morris of Saunders Morris. I have copies of William Stone's will and excutive account. William Stone had a daughter Margaret who married Francis Childs, brother of Ann Childs that married Charles Jones. Charles Jones and Sidney F. Chapman proved the executive account to Benjamin N. Barnett on the 29th of October 1835 as best I can read the document. (William Stone's will was proved 28 November 1831.) I don't know the parents of Sidney F. Chapman but think he could be the one below: Sidney F. Chapman married Ann A. Sharpe 1/1815 bondsman: Israel Glascock I'm thinking if I could find out who Ann A. Sharpe's parents were, this might help find the Jones line for Charles? I've seen the name "Lincefield Sharpe" as a witness on the Will of Robert Embrey. (Embrey lines are very closely tied to my lines.) Will of Robert Embrey 26 Oct. 1784, 25 June 1779 Book 2, page 188 Fauquier County Named grandson: Robert Embrey (son of Charles) to have 82 a lying between Carter's line and Summerduck Run. Sons: Thomas Embrey and Robert Embrey to equally divide the remaining land. Wife: Ann Exrs: Thomas & Robert Embrey, sons Wit. Lincefield Sharpe Swanson Brown John Brown Will of Ann Embrey, 9 Feb. 1790, 22 Feb. 1790 Son: Robert Embrey to have various stock animals... To: Elizabeth Taylor to have 1 bed... To: John Embrey (son of Robert) to have 2 close bodied coats... Daughter: Nancy Butler to have my saddle... Exrs: administration granted to Robert Embrey & Jeremiah Brown, noted that Thomas Embrey is the next of kin if he wants to contest the will must do so at April cout. Wit.: Wm. Snelling Alexander Brown Sarah Benjey (?) ----------------------------------------------- I am descended from the NUGENT/NEWGENT fqmily of Fauquier Co. LIncefield Sharpe's mother was a NEWGENT.
