Individual Details
Alice Sharpe
(1593 - 29 Jul 1691)
1635 Admitted to the church in Charlestown, Mass.
Robert Rand married by about 1626 Alice _____. She died at Charlestown on 29 July 1691, "98". (This age at death is almost certainly inflated by a decade.)
They had 7 children: Margery Douse, Thomas, Susanna Newell, Alice Lord, Nathaniel, & Elizabeth Brewer.
The wills of both RICHARD SPRAGUE and his wife Mary suggest a close relationship with Alice, the wife of Robert Rand. Mary explicitly calls Alice her sister, and as the childless Mary makes much larger bequests to Alice and her family than to others, it is likely that Alice and Mary were siblings.
In 1857 Wyman stated that "Lawrence Dowse of Charlestown married Margery, daughter of Robert Rand by Alice daughter of Nicholas Sharp." Just a few years later Savage stated that Robert Rand "brought from England wife Alice said to be daughter of Nicholas Sharp in England and sister of Mary, wife of the first captain Richard Sprague." In 1926 William Bradford Homer Dowse made these same claims, at greater length. None of these sources provides any documentary evidence for these proposed relationships.
