Starkey Sharp 1741 - 1791 was the son of Jacob Sharp who died
in Bertie/Hertford Co in 1748 and his wife Elizabeth Tanner leaving
a minor son Starkey Sharp.

Robert Forster of Edgecombe on Wiccacon Creek plus on 13 May 1742 from
John Wynns another 50 a on NS Wiccacon Creek adj. lands of Robert
Forster of Edgecombe, William Baker . [Colonial Bertie County North

Winborne and Sarah Hare.

Starkey Sharp married 2nd Jamima Hare daughter of Jesse Hare.

Jacob Sharp 1714 - 1748
|
his parents
Nancy Tanner |
her parents
of Surry Co VA &
Bertie Co/Hertford Co NC
This is my working hypothesis - the way
I see it as of this moment!!
This Jacob Sharp's parents I think were Francis Sharp 1660 - 1738 & Comfort Finchett d 1710 Surry Co VA
I believe from the way tFrancis's will is written that Jacob was by
a 2nd wife not Comfort.
NC records show that Jacob Sharp of Surry Co VA bought 700 A
more or less on the Wiccacon Creek/River in 1742. This was from Robert
Forster who has moved to Edgecombe Co and also a parsel from John Wynns.
Then in 1748 Jacob Sharp wrote his will dated 30 Oct 1748
proved at Eden House Jan Ct 1748 {OS} New Year's Day was in March. He names
nephew Samuell Tanner - twelve pounds ten shillings to be paid to him at the age
of twenty-one. Son Starkey Sharp - my lands and manner plantation in Bertie
County, Residue of my personal estate is to be divided by my friends William
Hooker, Wm. Witherin, John Baker of Littletown and Peter Evans to make a
division between my wife Elizabeth Sharp and my son Starkey, but the entire
estate is to remain in my wife's hands until Starkey in sixteen years old.
Ex. wife, Peter Evans
Wit. William Wittington, Isaac Lassiter, Mary Lassiter [DB Gammon

David B Gammon also made a transcript to the loose papers on
file in Bertie Co.
Jacob Sharp - Additional inventory Feb. 1749 [OS] by Peter Evans. Account
of sale [undated] by Peter Evans [very faded] noting money paid to Thomas Barker
and John Salter, and cash held in favor of the orphan, and money paid for costs
of dividing the estate agreeable to the will. Division of estate, 1750, between
[1] Starkey Sharp - who received Negroes George, Beck and Hannah, and
[2] Richard Figures, who received Peter, Moll, and Jane. Inventory May 18, 1751
of the property of the said orphan Stark. Sharp with his gdn. Joseph
Witherington.
Also in the Bertie County Court Minutes p633 NCGHR a court
held at the Court House at Cashy Bridge, Tuesday, Nov 14, 1749. Present,
Justices Benj. Hill, John Brown, Thos. Hansford, and John Early.
Peter Evans, surviving Exr. of Jacob Sharp, ordered to return Inventory
of sd Estate to next Court. Also, Richard Figures render acc't of such goods as
came to his knowledge after his intermarrying with Elizabeth Sharpe.
