See the full discussion in the entry for William Sharp.

Godwin distinguishes R Sharp from 1797, but notes in 1796 that he meets R Sharpe first in 1790. This suggests that earlier entries need to be treated as R Sharp when the context is right (he notes that he meets the engraver W Sharp in 1792). Godwin also notes R Sharp's death in 1835. Only by 1806 has he stabilised his recognition that Richard Sharp does not have an 'e' at the end. But earlier entries to Sharpe are not exclusively to R Sharp since there are entries to 'Sharpe engraver'.
