| Notes for John Sharp: The Sharps were staunch Quakers.George Fox, the Quaker leader, died in 1691, and by that time the Society of Friends numbered 40,000 in England.the English, staunch supporters of the Church of England, considered the Quakers as "dissenters" and threw many of them in prison.This persecution prompted them to seek settlement in America as early as 1656.George Fox himself came to America and in 1672, crossed New Jersey with Indian guides.His coming spurred additional Quaker settlement in America and by 1700, they controlled New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.The Sharps emigrated in the wave of Quaker departures from England in the late 1600's, to escape the persecution applied to the Quakers. John, Hugh and William aged 20, 14, and 12 came to America in 1682 landing in what is now Burlington, NJ.Parts of the bible of John Sharp survive today and several historical accounts repeat the writing in this bible:"...of the Flower in Northamptonshire [from Flower, Northamptonshire, England] came over Sea on the ship 'Samuel' " arriving in"West Jersey about the 4th or 5th Day of September 1682." From the Sharp Family History, page 11: John settled 1250 acres of land in Evesham Twp. which were located next to Thomas Ballinger.John was frequently mentioned in public business affairs. |
