Born January 13, 1681, in Dublin, Ireland, Isaac Sharp was the eldest surviving son of Quaker Anthony Sharp and Ann Crabb.〔Greaves, Richard L. (1998). ''Dublin's Merchant-Quaker: Anthony Sharp and the Community of Friends, 1643-1707.'' Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, p. 21〕 As part of the Quaker settlement of his father’s extensive land holdings in New Jersey, Isaac Sharp left Ireland in November 1700,〔Greaves, ''Dublin's Merchant-Quaker: Anthony Sharp and the Community of Friends, 1643-1707'', p. 25〕 and after an arduous eighteen week journey, arrived in Colonial America on April 6, 1701.〔Greaves, ''Dublin's Merchant-Quaker: Anthony Sharp and the Community of Friends, 1643-1707'', p. 251〕
Isaac settled in Salem County, New Jersey and named the area Blessingtown after Blessington in County Wicklow, near the border of Kildare, on the road travelled by the Sharps from Roundwood, Queen’s County, to and from Dublin.〔''The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography'', Volume 20 (1896).
