Pedigree

The book is primarily organized to show descendants of Thomas King and Susan Sharp, but toward the end discusses the ancestors of Thomas King and Susan Sharp. Thus, to start at the beginning, one must go to the end.

On page 630-34 of this book, there is a discussion about the Sharp family, which is of Anglo-Saxon (by way of Yorkshire and Scotland) origins:

  • Christopher Sharp, the elder. d. about 1541.
  • John Sharp, the elder, m. Mary Clarkson. Mentioned as secretary to Sir Thomas Fairfax.
  • (Unknown son of John the elder and father of John the younger)
  • John Sharp, the younger, grandson of 2, “strongly supported Parliamentary interest in Bradford during the Civil Wars.
  • Abraham Sharp, b. 1651 d. 18 July 1742, “a noted mathematician; an associate of the great scholars of his time: Flamsteed, Newton, Halley, Wallis, Hodgson, and Sherwin.” It is noted that Abraham Sharp and his brother Thomas Sharp were Presbyterians there cousins were Anglican; and this religious rift divided the family. It is stated that “the line, from which the King and Sharp descendants came, was from either Abraham or his brother Thomas, 1633-1693.”
  • “Thomas Sharp, b. Scotland; m. (1) Cynthia Wallace (Needs proof); m. (2) Katrina …… Thomas Sharp’s will dated 5 Feb. 1758, Lancaster Co., Pa.; was drawn up 24 Oct. 1757… His will names sons: John, William and Thomas; daughters: Anne (Sharp) Todd, (kin of Mary Todd, who married Abraham Lincoln), Sarah (Sharp) and Mary Sharp, his wife Katrina Sharp, and Arthur O’Mullen, an indentured servant….”
  • “John Sharp, Sr., b. 1720, Scotland; d. 1796, Sullivan Co., Tn., a faithful Christian, a Revolutionary patriot and worthy citizen; m. (1) 1740, Pa., Jane Hamilton, b. 1721; d. aft. 1788, Sullivan Co., Tn.; m. ()…., Sarah …..”The Sharp Family were in Holston Country, Sullivan Co., Tn., in 1765; they moved their families in the spring, 1766….”John Sharp, Sr. owned 700 a. north of the Holston River….” John Sharp was the father of Susan Ann Sharp, who will be described later. The authors mention that John Sharp, Sr. did not leave a will but did leave a Power of Attorney
