Biography
HENRY SHARP — born March 10, 1795; baptized May 10, 1795 (Woodstock Reg.); died July 3, 1856; married (1st) Jan. 2, 1817, Susannah Sarah (born March 7, 1790; baptized Aug. 4, 1799), daughter of Capt. Jacob and Mary Tompkins (Woodstock Reg.), and (2nd) Mary Prudence, daughter of Benjamin Close, a Loyalist from New York who settled at Kingston, N.B., in 1783. Mary P. Sharp died May 21, 1865, in her 67th year (Carleton Sentinel). Mr. Sharp, after the constitution of Jacksontown out of Wakefield Parish, removed from Northampton to Jacksontown and settled upon a farm. When the so-called "New Light" Baptists began making converts in the Province, Mr. Sharp turned to that faith and preached, and hence is sometimes spoken of as "Reverend."
Henry was born about 1798.
