Question:
Does anyone know whether/how
William Henry Johnson &
Ann Shaw
are related to Isaac Sharp?
He was adopted by the Walkers.
It is said that, as he grew up, Sharp developed an overbearing
and unscrupulous character and gradually possessed himself of the
main interests in his uncle's business.
He married Miss Nicholls.
The family business and the Hall passed to him when his uncle retired.
Jack and his wife went to live at Walterclough Hall, and
John Walker went to live at The Square.
On his uncle's death in 1771, the eldest
son – Richard – ordered Jack to leave
Walterclough.
Sharp left, but took most of the contents with him, and
destroyed what he had to leave behind.
Only 2 rooms remained habitable, and the rest had been vandalised.
In 1778, he built Law Hill House a mile away.
Sharp enticed the easy-going younger son John
into gambling and ruin.
Sharp also managed to systematically degrade a young
cousin – Sam Stead – of his right to inherit the Hall (in a similar
manner to the way Heathcliff degraded Hareton
Earnshaw), before becoming bankrupt himself and fleeing to London,
where he disappeared.
It is said that the family feud – and particularly the similarity
between Sharp's behaviour and that of Heathcliff – may
have influenced Emily Brontë when she was writing Wuthering Heights
