Thomas Sharp was Surveyor General of West Jersey at the turn of the 18th century. During that time he recorded various land transactions. For some of these he actually went out and surveyed or re-surveyed the tract in question. He recorded many of these survey’s in a volume that has come to be known as Sharp’s Book. The surveys here are from that book and represent less than half of those recorded. They were chosen for legibility and general interest value.

For now, the survey can be accessed by clicking on a link in the table below. The survey image will appear below the table. Please note that these are large images which may be slow to load. The size is necessary to allow the documents to be read. Finally, if you’d like to see all of Thomas Sharp’s Book, you can see the original at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and on microfilm at Camden County Historical Society, Gloucester County Historical Society and some other libraries in the area.
