Hi there. I've just read all this many years later with great interest. I'm trying to research an ancestor of mine who is mentioned above. John Burt Sharp, son of Rev. Thomas Sharp. I have some of the letters he received and his collection of wax seals. I wonder if you found anything further out about Thomas Sharp and Eleanor Burt? They are as far back as my family tree goes in that direction but family legend has it they were descended from Granville Sharp the abolitionist but I've not managed to make the connection. Anyway thank you both for having dug the above up. It connects a few things for me, especially the Huntingdon connection. I realise this post is now very old but always worth asking.
