The TV show Sharpe’s Rifles is a different thing. Lt Sharpe, was leader of a unit armed with Baker Rifles set in 1809.
New Jersey man Christian Sharp started patenting rifle designs in 1848.
Two different things.

But one thing you might find interesting from the Sharpe’s Rifles TV show, the Baker rifle it featured was also used by the Mexican army at the Alamo along with the Brown Bess musket.
