1 One of the most important of the early'settlers of Salem, where also settled his wife's uncle Elias, and brother Richard Stileman (see Emmerton and Waters' Gleanings, p. 119). The Court of Assistants in London, Feb. 26, 1629, ordered five pieces of ordnance to be placed in his hands (and he was to have carriages made for them) with a great quantity of other arms and great shot. A contract had been made with him for three years at £10 a year "to haue the ouersight of the ordnance to bee planted in the ffort to be built uppon the plantacon, and what ells may concerne artillery busines to geeue his advize in" &c. March 5, a committee of the governor, deputy and several assistants, who were to advise with Messrs. Graves and Sharpe, were chosen to consider the subject of dividing the lands, etc. Mr. Sharpe is referred to as engineer of the plantations and was appointed Master Gunner of the Ordnance. The duplicate Charter, with the company's seal, was committed to his care on board the George Bonaventure. Mr. Samuel Skelton and Mr. Samuel Sharpe were commissioned, in case they should find Governor Endecott dead on their arrival at Naumkeag,jor if he should die before all the vessels should reach there, to take the lead of the council and rule according to order. To Mr. Sharpe must have been assigned a lot opposite Governor Endecott's, being on the west side of what is now Washington street, extending back to North street. This became known as Sharp's field. On it (according to the Lynde MSS.) was planted a fort, which must have stood quite near the old Methodist meeting House near the corner of Sewall and Lynde streets. When Mr. Winthrop was chosen governor of the Company, Mr. Samuel Sharpe was chosen one of the Assistants. He was also made ruling elder of the church. His children seem to have been Abigail, Elias, Edward, Mary, Experience, Nathaniel and Hannah. He died, according to Felt, in 1656, and his widow Alice died 1667. Of the children, I find that Abigail became the wife of Thomas Jeggells, Mary was married to John Norton and Nathaniel had a wife Rebecca in 1684. Whether other of his children survived I cannot now say. I suspect, however, that one was the wife of William Lake. H. F. W.
