JAMES MARK SHERMAN, b. 1800's, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Illinois
CHILDREN: Ella, and 4 other children
COMMENTS: I am looking for any information about James M. Sherman. He was a Methodist-Episcopal Minister. He attended a seminary in Illinois. After graduation, he was sent to Indian Territory (I assume Oklahoma and Texas) as a circuit preacher. James was, reportedly, either the son or grandson of Senator John Sherman.

James M. Sherman loved preaching, fast horses (in case the sermon wasn't well-received), and played the violin. He had five children. His wife, name unknown, was an English emigrant. They lived in Central Texas by the 1890's.

Ella Sherman, their daughter, was my great grandmother. Ella married William Selby Hardin (aka Bud Hardin) and they lived in Williamson County, TX. Their union produced one child, Violet Webb Hardin, my grandmother. William died about 1900 from gunshot complications. Family rumor has it that he joined the Rough Riders under an assumed name and was wounded while in Cuba, which may just be an attempt to legitimize being shot.

Any information or leads regarding James Mark Sherman and his lineage would be appreciated.

COMMENTS: Looking for ancestry of Jane Sherman. Believe her brother, Joel, was living with her in 1860 Somerford, Madison, Ohio census. Earlier research (1850) shows this Joel in Sharon, Worthington, Franklin, Ohio census with probably a widowed mother, Elizabeth, and married brother, Jasper. Ohio marriage record for both Jasper and Joel show different wives after 1860 and/or the original wives of earlier census records. Jane and James Eaton moved to Missouri and lived out their lives. They had 10 children, 7 alive in 1900 in Cedar, Dade, Mo and then Boone, Wright, Mo, where Jane dies in 1907...just before dc's are kept. Research in the actual area reveals her grave, and some ancestors that don't know of her parentage, siblings.

JOHN SHERMAN, b. March, 1862, Ohio
COMMENTS: I am looking for the parent's of my g-g-grandfather, John Sherman. Census records state his date of birth as March, 1862 and both he and parents birth locations as being in Ohio. He was orphaned at a very young age and lived at the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home in Xenia, Greene County, Ohio. He also is said to have had a sister, Jennie, who also stayed in the same orphanage (born 1865 according to census records) and possibly a brother named Andy. His parent's probably died at about the same time, possibly of one of the many epidemics that were common at that time. I estimate John's parent's death date as being between 1865 and 1875. My grandmother tells me her grandfather always said that the people at the orphanage told him he was somehow related to General William Sherman of Civil War fame. Previous researchers have found no records exist at the orphanage for the years he was there. Please send me any helpful info.

The running joke is everyone in the town is related, we just have to figure out to what degree. I wish I knew my great grandfather's name, but I don't. My grandfather's name was John Davis Sherman. If anyone can point me into the right direction to begin, I would appreciate it.

His regiment, the 9th Vermont Infantry, which was mustered out on Dec. 1, 1865, spent 6 months in Chicago as paroled prisoners and were exchanged on Jan. 10, 1863. This leads me to assume that he may have returned to the Chicago area after the war. If he appears on the 1870 census, it will be with his wife, Jennie, and their 3 children, Clarence, Agnes and Gertrude. I would appreciate it if anyone could point me to the correct location in Illinois.

ROGER SHERMAN (Honorable), b. April 19, 1721, Newton, Middletown, MA
COMMENTS: I am a descendant of ELIZABETH SHERMAN, ROGER SHERMAN'S sister. She married CAPT. BUCK, and my paternal grandmother was a Buck. Now I am trying to trace the Sherman line backwards from Roger but am confused by the number system. It looks like WILLIAM SHERMAN is Roger's father, but who was Roger's grandfather, great-grandfather, etc., and where does MARY LAUNCE fit in? Thank-you for your help.

ROGER SHERMAN (Honorable), b. April 19, 1721, Newton, Middletown, MA
COMMENTS: This is all very interesting. I have a copy of the Thomas Townsend Sherman book (1920). My father, Alden O. Sherman, is one of the last people in the book (born 1918). I am a member (although not active) of the Colonial Dames in the State of Connecticut, being directly related to Roger Sherman (signer of Declaration of Independence etc.) as my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. I think I got the number of greats correctly! The most interesting Sherman (besides Roger, and my father) was Rev. John Sherman, who became the first Unitarian in New York State to found a church. As an active Unitarian, I find that thrilling. Are there any other Shermans in Connecticut that have some of these same connections? Sherman is my own name. I didn't change my surname when I married.

ROGER SHERMAN (Honorable), b. April 19, 1721, Newton, Middletown, MA, d. July 23, 1793
COMMENTS: I know my roots go directly back to Roger Sherman (Declaration of Indep.) and Gen. William T. Sherman. From there, I don't really know, but am wanting to find out. I also have a variation of the coat of arms, but my motto is "Conquer death by virtue" possibly misinterpreted somewhere along the way. The symbols are different as well, all but the lion in the center (facing the other way, though). Sound interesting? Let me know. Thanks!!

I have been trying very hard to trace my family all the way back to Roger Sherman and if any of you have any ideas or can help me in any way please let me know! Thanks

ROGER SHERMAN (Honorable), b. April 19, 1721, Newton, Middletown, MA, d. July 23, 1793
COMMENTS: I was wondering how I could find out my genealogy from ROGER SHERMAN. I don't have much information other than my father and grandfather's names: DAVID MARSHAL RABER and ROBERT RABER. My brother's middle name is SHERMAN and we've been told that Roger Sherman is our ancestor. Though, with 15 children to his credit, I bet a lot of people are related to him. Is there anywhere you could suggest I look? Thank you.
