• Baptism*: Charity Sharpe was baptized on 22 November 1679 at All Saints, Lewes, Sussex, England, "Charitie SHARPE, daughter of John Sharpe and Elizabeth, abode: St Johns. Bapt. by Mr Montague of ye Cliffe."¹
• She was the daughter of John Sharpe and Elizabeth Norton.
• Anecdote*: The will of George Norton made 4 May 1682 and proved Sep 1682 mentions Charity as his granddaughter, the daughter of John Sharpe of Lewes and Elizabeth Norton. (Will reference: ESRO A36 41-2.)
• Anecdote: Charity was later to name her first daughter Katherine, presumably after her mother's sister Katherine who was executor of the will in which Charity was a beneficiary. Charity's mother died in 1688 when Charity would have been about 8 years old, so her aunt Katherine was probably quite close to the family.
• Anecdote: There is a second baptism for a Charity Sharpe on 6 Dec 1679 at Lewes St John sub Castro to John and MARY Sharpe. This is probably a mistake and should be John and ELIZABTH Sharpe because:
  1. John's brother Mark had his daughter Charity baptised in both Lewes St John sub Castro and Lewes All Saints in 1686, so a double baptism for Charity in 1679 is possible.
  2. There is no evidence of any other children to a John and Mary Sharpe, except in 1687 in Isfield and this could be accounted for by a John Sharpe/Mary Jeffery marriage in 1683 at Ringmer.
• Marriage*: Charity Sharpe married John Ballard, son of John Ballard and Joan Dutton, on 29 September 1698 at Rodmell, Sussex, England^B.²
