GENEALOGY.
SHARPE.
THOMAS SHARPE, born in England about 1580, was appointed assistant to Endicott, the new Governor of Massachusetts, in 1629. He sailed from London on the Arabella in the fleet with Winship, and was present at the court held on the Arabella March 23rd, 1629. He was the sixth member of the Boston Church.
He filled his office of Assistant to the Governor, as it was then termed, and member of the Council of Massachusetts Colony without interruption until 1631, when he embarked at Salem with Sir Richard Saltonstall and family on board the Lions Whelp, April 1st, and arrived in London April 30th.
Winthrop's New England. Young's Chronicles of Massachusetts, etc.
THOMAS SHARPE came from England in 1700, settled in Stratford, m. Lydia, daughter of Wm. Dickinson, and granddaughter of Rev. Frederick Dickinson, in 1701, and in 1708 was one of the thirty-six men to whom the General Assembly granted the township of Newtown. He sold the lands he had purchased in Stratford and removed to Newtown. Among the transfers made by him at this time was one of land in Stratford to Samuel Hawley of Derby in exchange for said Hawley's right in the town of Derby, Jan. 23, 1705, recorded in Derby Records, book 2, p. 101, land records. At a town meeting (in Newtown) held Sept. 4, 1711, Thomas Sharpe was appointed surveyor of highway, an office which was then no sinecure, as the town records of the highways laid out through the lands until then almost untrod by the feet of white men will attest. By the several divisions among the pro- prietors of various tracts of land as fast as surveyed during two or three years following, he and his heirs acquired several hundred acres of land, the larger part of the township being still unsurveyed and undivided. He died in 1712, leaving five children. His wife Lydia survived him about forty years. A protest made by her Dec. 15, 1751, still appears on the Newtown records, re- lative to lands of which she was unjustly deprived.
Thomas, b. Mar. 18, 1702, died April 17, 1765, aged 63 years.
