Early Land Acquisition in Augusta County, VA

Acquisition of Land from Chalkley's:

• Page 304.--18th July, 1780. James Kirkpatrick and Agness to John Sharpe, late of Chester County, Pennsylvania, plantation James lives on. (Note: this record is likely for this John Sharp. Since it refers to him as living prior to abt. 1780 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, most (if not all) of John Sharp's children were likely born in Pennsylvania. This land appears to be "on Middle River of Shenandoah" based upon prior records).

There are no will or estate records of such a Matthew Sharpe in Chalkley's records; however, there is a Matthias 'Matthew' Shaup (Sharp) (whom had a son named John) of German origin that may have been confused with this family. Additional research is necessary).
