I had overlooked this excellent paper by Rosie Bevan from 2020:
"Sharp Practice: An Expose of the Sharpe pedigree from the 1568 Visitation of Essex" available on academia.edu here for free (with free account)
https://www.academia.edu/43454425/SHARP_PRACTICE_AN_EXPOS%C3%89_OF_THE_SHARPE_PEDIGREE_FROM_THE_1558_VISITATION_OF_ESSEX
A good case study in taking a long-believed Visitation pedigree and analyzing its veracity. In this case, it is proposed, mostly invented.
