Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the origin and movement of one Sharp family dating back to 1610. John Sharp Sr., Son of Anthony Sharp (1663-1712), was one of two primary Sharp families originating in "Little Horton" (now Bradford) England in the 13th Century. The family was split by the War of the Roses in 1470 with my lineage going North to Scotland. Our journey took us to Tyrone Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland. Next to Dumfries, and finally to Peeblesshire, Scotland. From Peeblesshire, our family ventured by sea to the Port of Philadelphia. A sizable portion settled in Kennett Square, and established a large Quaker community. Others, more adventurous, traveled by foot and wagon-train through Western Maryland, and carefully South avoiding hostile Indians to Frost, Pocahontas, Virginia. Frost took on a sizable community of Sharp's, but that was small to the number that migrated to Nicut, West Virginia, and built a permanent Sharpestablishment. If any readers of this Genealogical History have relatives that may have also traveled this route, or established residency in any of these towns.. we "May Be Related".
