It appears this same Thomas Sharp migrated to Frederick Co., VA living there by 1743. He was an associate of Benjamin Borden another Jerseyman who migrated to Frederick Co., VA. Their connection was possibly due to the fact they were Quakers & were previously acquainted in NJ. Thomas Sharp was one of three men that proved Benjamin Borden's will on Dec. 9, 1743 in Frederick Co., VA. The will of Thomas Sharp was proved in Frederick Co. Court, VA on April 6, 1762, wife Elizabeth served as excutrix. The Haddonfield NJ Monthly Meeting records the marriage of Thomas Sharp to Elizabeth Smith d/o Thomas Smith on Dec 3, 1724. Do you have anything on Thomas Sharp Of NJ & VA? I'm interested knowing how & if this Thomas Sharp connects to our NJ Sharps & anything about his daughter Elizabeth Nation that Thomas mentions in his will. Elizabeth Sharp may have been the wife of Christopher Nation b. abt 1721, son of John & Bethia Robins Nation. Thomas Sharp's will doesn't give the first name of Elizabeth's husband just mentions his daughter Elizabeth Nation. END findagrave.com ...

Tn. web site daughter of Thomas Sharp-1698 -N.J. & Elizabeth Smith -1700 From The Swaim Family of Indiana and Oklahoma "Pa met my Ma Martha Worthington in Orange Co. and they was married in 1747 and my brother William soon came along. Uncle John had met and married Aunt Charity some time earlier. They had a couple of kids already when in about 1750 Pa said he and John decided to go to Fredrick Co. and John would apply for a Fairfax Grant. You could get land for just the clearing and building a log house on it. John did the clearing and Michael did the building. They'd decided on Fredrick Co and the area they took up cause it was next to Charity's Pa's land William Teague. With the help of the Teagues John was able to get his land survey did in 1750. My Pa did the chain carry work for him. Charity's brother had gone to NC when the word was out that land was more plentiful over there. My Pa took off with the family in 1750 and William Teague aunt Charity's brother and went to Anson Co. NC. My Pa got work with the Survey Co. and did most all the Chain Carrier work on the Grandville Grants. William Teague got his first Grandville Grant in 1753 on the old Cattaba River. Pa and all us lived in St. Luke's Parish. Even Pa's girl Elizabeth who had come from NY after Pa and ma married to VA. She was a pretty girl and she married right off to Christopher Nation. They was married in 1747 afore Christmas and named their first baby Abraham after my brother that died. Pa's son Anthony came also when Elizabeth did from NY, he lived with us but he never got on with Pa too good and was sure good to us younguns." This info came from: There is family information passed down to descendants of Rebecca Swaim, daughter of Michael and Martha Swaim. This information was passed from Rebecca to her granddaughter Elizabeth and from Elizabeth to her granddaughter Sarah Florence Swaim. This information includes Rebecca's family Bible information. This information was provided to me by Linda Livingstone in 2005 who obtained it from Barbara Trujillo. In my opinion, family information passed down is some of the most powerful and important genealogical information there is. I was extremely grateful to get this information which sheds light on Michael Anthony Swaim and his family. Elizabeth Swaim married Christopher Nation, not Elizabeth Sharp.
