A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Genealogical. I was born in Weathersfield, Windsor County, Vermont, IST ovember 28, 1834, being the fourth child of David and Fanny (K endall) Sherman, on the same farm owned by my father, grandfather and great grandfather. I have always had a desire to know something of my ancestors; who they were, and where they came from to this country; but until about 1870, when I read an article written by the Rev. David Sherman in the New England Genealogical Register of January of that year, I knew nothing about them further back than my grandfather. The first of the family of whom I have knowledge was Henry Sherman of Dedham, Essex County, England, who died in 1589. Tracing the family since, it runs; Henry (1), Henry (2), Edward (3), and Rev. John (4), who came to this country in 1633. He remained a short time at Watertown, Massachusetts, from whence he moved, in 1640, to Wethersfield, Connecticut, where he became a magistrate. Captain Daniel (5), Samuel (0), Samuel (7), David (8), David (9), and Edgar (10), myself. The Samuel Sherman (7) last above named was my great grandfather. He was born A pril 8, 1740, and died June 22, 1811, at Weathersfield, Vermont.
