I don't think anyone knows William B.'s parents. I did find this record that gives the name of his first wife and the date of his second daughter's birth. She was born while they were crossing the Atlantic from England to Baltimore.
William Sharrock found in:
Maryland and Delaware, 1600s-1800s Church Records
Listed in:Early Catholic Church Records in Baltimore, MD
Page number:106
Sharrock, Elizabeth Atlantic; born August 9, 1793; bpt. Dec 18, 1793; born on Atlantic Ocean; dau. of William & Elizabeth
Presumably, the first wife died and he married Martha "Patty" Menefee December 16, 1807 Franklin County, Virginia.
Another reference is: "Gleanings from Maryland Newspapers"1791 - 1795 by Robert Barnes 1976
SHARROCK, Dr., who formerly practiced phiysic, surgery, and midwifery in Litchfield, England, is opening his practice in Baltimore. (from BDR, 23 Sep 1793) Front page and page 83 (BDR possibly Baltimore Daily Record)
