Possibly as the result of a bad merge, this profile formerly conflated Isaac Sharp the immigrant, grandson of Anthony Sharp, a member of the NJ Assembly and judge, who died in 1770 leaving a will, with his likely son Issac, who died in 1796. This error is unfortunately also on geni and Ancestry. Will work on sourcing both profiles. Husted-87 16:18, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
Isaac Lorenzo Sharp was born in about 1730 in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, England. [citation needed]
Isaac Sharp married Rachel Mulford.[1]
They had one child, John Downs Sharp.[citation needed]
He may be the Isaac Sharp of Cumberland County who died intestate and whose estate was settled 23 June 1796 with Delany Sharp as administrator, Joel Sheppard as fellowbondsman.[2]
Isaac Sharp Senior referenced his daughter Hannah (Sharp) Delany in his 1770 will, so administrator Delany Sharp could be a cousin to Isaac.
This source references a different Sharp family: there are multiple Sharp branches and several Isaacs in pre-1900 New Jersey, some are related to each other and at least one (apparently this one in the source) are not. This book cites no sources and the information contained was provided by the descendants, who often didn't know their exact origins but could spin a yarn: History of the Counties of Gloucester, Cumberland. . .
