Biography
John Sharp was born in 1733, in Maulden, Beds, England.
He was baptised 19th August 1733, in the parish church in Maulden.
He married Sarah Hill, at Maulden on 4 Nov 1755.[1] and, together, they had six children.
John Sharp, gardener, was buried at Maulden on 1 April 1810. [2]
Research Notes
I can't find the alleged marriage to Elizabeth Haynes, either before 1755 when he married Sarah, or after 1807 when Sarah died. Was she really his wife?

However, I have him married to a different person. My records show:
John Sharp married Sarah Hill, 4 Nov 1755, in Maulden, Beds, Eng. They then went on to have six children, including William (5 Aug 1764). I have the ancestry tree for both John Sharpe and Sarah Hill going back at least 5 generations. Also, I have not been able to communicate to Kenneth Jordan to discuss this dilema.
BUT::
As I do not have definitive proof that John did 'not' marry Elizabeth Haynes, I have decided to add Sarah Hill as a separate marriage, and only take their ancestry back to the 1700 barrier.
