Thomas SHARP was born about 1717 in Haddenham, Cambridgeshire. He married an Elizabeth FREEMAN in 1738. They had 10 children before he was buried in Haddenham churchyard age 76. It seems he was not baptised until he was 43 in 1760, the same date as 3 of his children were baptised. These were (dates are those of baptism and in some cases burial):-

• Sarah 1741 (?m James COATMAN 1762)
• Thomas 1747-1753
• Elizabeth 1747 (?m John WEBB 1766)
• James 1751
• Catherine 1751
• Thomas 1755 (?m Elisabeth BRADLEY 1775)
• Ann 1755-1778 (?m Robert TUBBS 1775)
• Francis 1760-1824? (?m Martha POPE 1782)
• Matthew 1760-1761
• Judith 1762

Judith married a Nevil HUCKLE in 1782 but he was buried less than a year later and in 1783 she married Joseph STUKINS who was living in Haddenham but seems to have had no antecedents there. I believe he may have come from Longstanton but this is pure guesswork.
