General Notes: Husband - William Sharpless


He served an apprenticeship with John Marshall, a cabinet-maker, who lived in East Bradford, Chester County, Pennsylvania, on 32 acres, which William's grandfather Townsend had given his mother. When of age he took possession of the homestead, and built a shop on the Wilmington road. Later in life he kept a store in West Chester, at what later became the residence of Wm. W. Jefferis, adjoining the Bank of Chester County.
