SHERMAN BY THOMAS TOVVNSEND SHERMAN ILLUSTRATED NEW YORK TOBIAS A. WRIGHT PRINTER AND PUBLISHER I 920 GIFT (2 s 7/ PREFACE TNVESTIGATIONS in England as to the East Anglian Sher- mans of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries made by the late Charles Atvvood White, of New Haven, and the late Senator George Frisbie Hoar, suggested and inspired the work resulting in the compilation of the early genealogies in this volume. Begun with no intention of publication, it expanded to such extent as to seem worthy of reproduction in permanent form with the addition of the genealogies of later times. The great amount of information about some members of the family furnished by ancient English records is noteworthy and will perhaps lead to further discoveries. The absence of any com- plete or satisfactory biography of Hon. Roger Sherman led to a more extended statement with regard to him than is custom- ary in a genealogy. It is hoped that this will be appreciated by his numerous living descendants. Many of his descendants, those who have gone and those still living and other relatives mentioned, have attained distinction and honor in private life and public service. Errors and omissions occur in such a work in spite of every effort to be accurate and complete. Correc- tions are invited. The author heartily thanks all who have aided in kindly supplying family information. New York, August, 1919, T. T. S.

S. 060 " Of every worthy stock the most degenerate sons cherish the names of those from whom by an authentic lineage they trace their honorable descent. With zealous affection and a pi(>us reverence they explore all sources of knowledge respect- ing their lives, their characters, their motives, their acts. In a spirit neither arrogant nor envious, they are yet jealous for a just estimate of the virtue and the power which marked the founders of their line; careful that no malign or reckless influ- ence shall distort the record, or obscure the remembrance, of their deeds ; earnest in the determination that their latest des- cendants shall lose nothing of the heritage in these great names, in the course of its descent. Nor should it be for a moment supposed that the spirit of our institutions and the structure of our society, which have discarded the hereditary transmission of rank and power, discouraged even the succession of wealth, and made ridiculous the culture of a vulgar family pride, have at all weakened or diverted the force of those natural ties which connect us alike with our ancestry and our posterity, and sus- tain and protect, as a perpetual and imperishable possession, the glory and worth of our forefathers."

Roger Sherman at his death in 17'*.^ THE SHERMAN FAMILY OF YAXLEY, SUFFOLK AND DEDHAM, ESSEX ENGLAND, AND SOME DESCENDANTS IN AMERICA ^"T^HE name Sherman was borne in many parts of England more -*■ than six hundred years ago. It was written in various ways, including: Shearman, Shereman, Shirman and Sharman. It was of Enghsh origin and came from the trade or occupation of wool worker or maker of woolen cloth. The shearer clipped the sheep and the shearman or sherman made the wool into cloth and was also known as a clothier or woolen manufacturer. The Shermans of Dedham, in Essex, many of whom were en- gaged in this occupation or trade, are frequently described in wills and records as clothiers. Sometimes one of them is called a sher- man, as "Henry Sherman, sherman," Some of the earliest of this name had the prefix le, as John le Sherman. There were in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries several contemporaneous and distinct families of this name in different counties and even in the same county, apparently not related to one another and having many of the same Christian names. This, of course, increases the difficulty in tracing their respective lineages. In many of these early families the Christian name of Roger frequently appears, but none of the New England immigrants are descended from any of them. The family under consideration is the one early of Yaxley, in Suffolk, and later of Dedham, in Essex. Yaxley, also called Yaxlee, Yakesley, Jakeslee and Jackesley, is a small village or parish in the Hundred of Hartesmere in the northern part of Suffolk. A hundred is a subdivision of a County. Blackstone, in his commentaries, says : "As ten families of free- holders made up a town or tithing, soiten tithings composed a su- perior division, called a hundred as consisting of ten times ten families." (Book I, p. 115.) The Yaxley church is an ancient stone building of Norman 1 .>^ 2 Sherman Genealogy architecture with a square tower and a churchyard where many of the parishioners were buried. All the gravestones of the Sher- mans have long since disappeared, except one on the floor of the south aisle of the Church in memory of Barbara Sherman, the widow and second wife of Thomas* Sherman, of Yaxley. She died January 18, 1621/2, and a curious Latin inscription herein- after mentioned tells of her parentage and of her husband and two sons. There was a manor of Yaxley which, in the middle of the sixteenth century, was vested in Anthony Yaxley, eldest son of John Herberd, alias Yaxley, serjeant-at-law, son of Richard Her- berd, alias Yaxley. Anthony Yaxley lived at Melles, now Mellis, in Suffolk, and married Elizabeth, daughter of John Garneys, of Kenton, in Suffolk. Their daughter Elizabeth was the first wife of Thomas* Sherman, of Yaxley. By deed of gift, Anthony Yaxley and Richard Yaxley, his son and heir, granted to William Eglyn, Clerk, Vicar of Yaxley, Thomas^ Sherman, Senior, and Thomas* Sherman, Junior, Richard* Sherman and others, land called Erlysforth Close, in compliance with an arbitration dated "tricesimo die Julii Anno Regni Regis Henrici Octavi tricesimo octavo," July 30, 1546. ("The Manors of Suffolk," Coppinger, Vol. Ill, p. 349.) There are now no Shermans living in or near Yaxley. ^^y Dedham, also called Delham, Dyham and Byham, is a village and parish in the Hundred of Lexden, in the northern part of Essex, near the River Stour. In it were two manors, one called Dedham Hall and the other called Over-hall and Nether-hall, lands in which manors were held by the Shermans as tenants. These manors at one time belonged to a family named Dedham. Robert de Dedham, who died in 1288 held land in Dedham (Mor- ant's History of Essex, 1768, Vol. II, p. 247). Morant says of Dedham : "This was antiently a famous cloathing Town, even as early as K. Richard the second's reign [1377-1399] and the Bay trade extended into it afterwards, but is now greatly upon the decline. * * * Michael de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk, had here a Fulling Mill about the year 1382." There is evidence that woolen cloth was manufactured in Essex in Roman and Saxon times. In 1250, the Monastic houses of Essex exported wool to Italy. At the beginning of the fourteenth century, cloth workers from Bruges settled at Dedham and other places. An interesting Sherman Genealogy 3 group of houses, formerly the residence of immigrant Flemings engaged in the Bay and Say weaving industry, is still standing in Dedham. Bay and Say are what are now known as baize and serge. St. Mary's church, at Dedham, dating from the time of Henry III (1216-1272) is a large and fine one with a tall, square tower and a churchyard used as a burial ground, in which only one Sherman tombstone now remains, that of Edmund^ Sherman, Gent., who died Jan. 9 1741/2, and his wife, Mary, which has upon it the arms of the Yaxley and Dedham Shermans. John Constable, one of England's great landscape artists, was born and received his early education near Dedham, and painted many scenes from its neighborhood which is often called ''Constable's Country." Henry* Sherman, son of Thomas^ Sherman, of Yax- ley, who, according to his father's will, dated Jan. 20, 1551, was still serving his apprenticeship, although then considerably over twenty-one years of age and married, settled in Dedham, and there learned and afterwards pursued the trade of sherman or clothier or woolen cloth manufacturer. A school in Dedham was incorporated by charter of Queen Elizabeth, dated May 14, 1574, with the title of "Queen Elizabeth's Free Grammar School." She enjoined on the parents of the boys of this school that they should furnish their sons there with bows, shafts, bracers and gloves, in order to train them to arms. Henry* Sherman, of Dedham and Colchester, clothier, whose will was proved July 25, 1590, directed that he be buried in the parish Church of Dedham and gave to the poor of Dedham £20, to be a continual stock for the poor to the world's end, and that it should be ordered at the discretion of the Governors of the Free School of Dedham. (See p. 54.) Edmund'^ Sherman of Dedham, clothier, son of Henry* Sher- man, in his will, proved Apr. 30, 1601, mentioned his house by the church gate, and gave a field and tenement in Dedham to "the Governors of the Public Grammar School in Dedham, to be im- proved for a dwelling house for a schoolmaster that shall teach children to read and writing, which said schoolmaster shall freely teach one poor child which shall be from time to time appointed unto him by my son Edward and after him by his heirs forever." There is now in Dedham, opposite the Chitrch, a building called "Sherman Hall." The Parish Register of Dedham is replete with 4 Sherman Genealogy entries of vital records of the Shermans, showing that many of them were born, married and buried there in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but for a long time, no Shermans have lived in Dedham. The descendants of the Dedham Shermans, however, are numerous in the United States. The town of Diss, in the Hundred of Diss, in the Southern part of Norfolk, near the river Waveney, is another place where some of the early Shermans lived. It is said to take its name from its pond or ditch now called a mere, which lies in the rear of the buildings on the main street. It has a fine large ancient stone church with a square tower situated on an eminence overlooking the town. Notable among its Shermans was Thomas^ Sherman, who made his will in 1492, hereinafter set forth. Eye, near Yax- ley, in Suffolk, was also connected with the Shermans. Wortham, Suffolk, was the home of the Waller isLvnily. Jane, of that name, married the noted Thomas^ Sherman, of Yaxley, and became the mother of nine sons. Shermans and their relatives also lived in other places in the neighborhood of Yaxley and Dedham, in- cluding Roydon, Bramford, Thrandeston, Ardleigh. Palgrave, Colchester, Ipswich and Bury St. Edmunds. The preparation of this genealogy during a period of several years has involved extensive searches in the English records and the examination of many Parish Registers and many wills and probate records in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, at Somerset House, London, and at Ipswich, Bury St. Edmunds, Colchester, Norwich and other places, and also records in the London Public Record Office, the British Museum and elsewhere, of Manor Court Rolls, Feet of Fines. Lay Subsidies. Inquisi- tions Post Mortem, Patent Rolls, Close Rolls, Proceedings of the Court of Chancery, the Court of Star Chamber, the Court of Augmentations and the Court of Rec|uests, De Banco Plea Rolls, Common Pleas Plea Rolls. Deeds and other instruments. The De Banco and Common Pleas Plea Rolls in the Public Record Office are the Records or minutes in Latin of the pro- ceedings of the Courts of Kings Bench and Common Pleas. Each Roll has its number and consists of many sheets of parchment or membranes also numbered and each about a foot wide and over two feet long, fastened together at one end. The proceed- ings recorded are mainly actions to recover debts or damages for Sherman Genealogy 5 trespass on land or for personal injuries. They also include suits of an equitable nature. The following is a translation of an ex- ample of one of these minutes or entries in the Court of Common Pleas : Suffolk. Michaelmas Term 4 Philip and Mary [Nov., 1556] . Thomas Sherman Gent, in his own proper person proffers himself against John Deye of Yaxley, husband- man, of a plea wherefore he has broken the close and house of him the said Thomas at Yaxley. (Roll 1168, Membrane Z76). These Rolls are not indexed. Those covering certain periods have been examined, entry by entry, for references to the name Sherman. The searcher notes and reports each such appearance of the name, giving the numbers of the Roll, membrance and entry. Such entries as were thought to refer to any particular Shermans in question were given to an expert who read and translated and copied or made abstracts of them. Much of this work was done by the late Mr. J. Henry Lea, and his very able and expert associate, Mr. J. R. Hutchinson, of Clif- ford's Inn, Fleet Street, London. The late Charles A. White, Esq., of New Haven, Conn., also for many years pursued in- vestigations as to the ancestry of the Shermans in England and contributed valuable and interesting articles on the family with abstracts of wills and records which appeared in "The New Eng- land Historical and Genealogical Register." Mr. White's con- tributions were signed "A Descendant of Captain John Sher- man." (See Register 51, p. 309 and 54, pp. 62, 152.) Many of the wills hereinafter mentioned were abstracted by the late Henry F. Waters and appear in his "Genealogical Gleanings in Eng- land," and "The New England Historical and Genealogical Reg- ister," which publication will be hereinafter referred to as the "Register." Grateful acknowledgment for much information as to the American Shermans is made to the late Professor Frank Demp- ster Sherman, of Columbia University, who died Sept. 19, 1916, and was the supreme authority on the genealogy of the various branches of the family in America. The tireless energy, pa- tience and perseverance with which his skillful and exhaustive researches in this field were conducted for many years, coupled 6 Sherman Genealogy with his great accuracy, resulted in the compilation by him of comprehensive genealogies of reliability and inestimable value. It is greatly to be regretted that he did not live to complete his work. His records are now in the New York Public Library, the gift of Mrs. Sherman. The Sherman lineage under consideration has been directly traced only to Thomas^ Sherman, of Diss, No^'folk and Yaxley, Suffolk, whose will is dated Nov. 4, 1492, less than a month after the discovery of America by Columbus, on Oct. 12, 1492. Many records relating to earlier Shermans, of Yaxley and other neigh- boring places in Suffolk, have been found and are deemed worthy of notice. Perhaps further investigations may connect some of these persons with the line of Thomas, of Diss. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with ancient records and the methods of notation of time, it is to be observed that the time of many events is recorded by reference to regnal years. These begin with the first day of the reign of the sovereign. It is con- venient to here note that the reigns to which most frequent ref- erence will be made begin as follows : Edward II July 8, 1307 Edward III Jan. 25, 1326 Richard II June 22, 1377 Henry IV Sept. 30, 1399 Henry V Mar. 21, 1413 Henry VI Sept. 1,1422 Edward IV Mar. 4, 1461 Edward V Apr. 9,1483 Richard III June 26, 1483 Henry VII Aug. 22, 1485 Henry VIII Apr. 22, 1509 Edward VI Jan. 28,1547 Mary July 6,1553 Elizabeth Nov. 17, 1558 James I Mar. 24, 1603 Charles I Mar. 27, 1625 Charles II Jan. 30, 1649 The regnal year, known as the first year of Elizabeth, began on Nov. 17, 1558, and the second year, of course, began on Nov. Sherman Genealogy 7 17, 1559. The law terms of the Courts were and are as follows: Hilary Term from 23 or 24 Jan., to 12 or 13 Feb., prior to 1830 — since then Jan. 11 to Jan. 31. Easter (or Paschal) Term, from 17 days after Easter, lasting three weeks, prior to 1830. Since then Apr. 15 to May 8. Trinity Term — From 1264 to 1540, began on Wednesday after Corpus Christi day (Thursday after Trinity Sunday) lasting three weeks. From 1541 to 1751 it began on Friday after Corpus Christi and lasted until the following Wednesday fort- night. Since 1830, May 22 to June 12. Michaelmas Term from 1264 to 1640 began on 9 or 10 Oct., and ended 28 or 29 Nov. From 1641 to 1751 it began on 23 or 24 Oct. and ended as before. Since 1830, Nov. 2 to Nov. 25. Therefore, Michaelmas Term in the reign of Elizabeth would be referred to in a court record as being in two regnal years, thus Michaelmas Term 2 and 3 Elizabeth would be 1559. Until 1752 in England and this country there were two meth- ods of reckoning time, the civil or ecclesiastical year, beginning on Mar. 25 (Annunciation Day or Lady Day), and the historical year, beginning on Jan. 1. Hence, the days between Dec. 31 and Mar. 25 were in two years, thus Feb. 25, 1750, according to the old civil year was Feb. 25, 1749, and is properly expressed Feb. 25, 1749/50. The present calendar, or what is called New Style, in distinc- tion from Old Style, was established by Act of Parliament in 1751, adopting the Gregorian, in place of the Julian Calendar, as adjusted by Julius Caesar in 46 B. C. By the Julian Calendar the average length of the year was fixed at 365^ days. This was too long by a few minutes and this error having aggregated 10 days, Pope Gregory XIH by bull in 1582, introduced what is called the Gregorian Calendar, by which the day following the feast of St. Francis, Oct. 5th, was called Oct. 15th, and the present system of reckoning the ordinary years as of 365 days each and the leap years as of 366 days each, was established. England, however, continued to use the Julian Calendar until the Gregorian Calendar was adopted by the Act of Parliament above mentioned, Chapter XXIII, 24 George II, 1751, entitled "An Act regulating the commencement of the year; and for correcting the calendal 8 Sherman Genealogy now in use." It enacted that the first day of Jan. next following the last day of Dec, 1751, should be the first day of the year 1752, and that from and after that day, the several days of each month should go on and be reckoned and numbered in the same order until the second day of Sept., 1752, and that the natural day next immediately following should be called and reckoned to be the fourteenth day of Sept., omitting for that time only, the eleven intermediate nominal days, and that the several natural days which should follow should be numbered forward in numerical order from said fourteenth day of Sept., according to the order and succession of days then used in the then present calendar. There is still some error in the calendar resulting in an excess of time in each year. The difference between Old Style and New Style from 1582 to 1700 is 10 days and from 1700 to 1753 is 11 days. This should be borne in mind in considering Old Style dates, and the difference should be added in correcting a date from Old Style to New Style. Thus, Feb. 11. 1750, Old Style, is Feb. 22, 1750. New Style. In Old Style, March was called the first month and Feb. the twelfth month. THE YAXLEY SHERMANS. Yaxley has always been a small village and probably all the Shermans who have lived there were of the same family. The Arms of this family are : Or, a Lion Rampant sable between three oak leaves, vert. The crest is: A Sea Lion sejeant or (or sable or argent). ("The General Armory," Burke, 1878, p. 922.) For an illustration of these Arms see "The New York Genea- logical and Biographical Record," Vol. 44, p. 341. This is similar to one which belonged to Hon. Roger Sherman at his death in 1793, and is now owned by the author. Other Sherman Arms given by Burke are : Sherman of Newark, County of Leicester. In the Herald's Visitation of Leicester in 1619, appears William'' Sherman, then aged 34 years, son and heir of John^ Sherman and grandson of William* Sherman, grocer and merchant of London, fifth son of Thomas^ Sherman of Yaxley, time of Henry VII (1485-1509), with same arms as Sherman of Yaxley, the lion charged on the shoulder with an annulet for difference. Crest : a sea lion sejeant argent, guttee de poix, finned or. Sherman of Ottery St. Mary, Devonshire. In the visitation of Devonshire in J _ J. R. HUTCHINSON Of London, England, Genealogist. Eminent authority on ancient records Sherman Genealogy 9 1620, appear, John Sherman and Richard Sherman, sons of WilHam Sherman and grandsons of John Sherman who was son and heir of Robert Sherman of Yaxley, by his wife the daughter of WilHam Sherman of Ottery St. Mary. Arms : Or, a lion ram- pant sable between three holly leaves vert. Crest : a sea lion sejeant sable, guttee d'or, finned proper. In the Lay Subsidy of 1327, which was a tax of one-twentieth on moveables or personal property, the original roll for which is in the Public Record Ofhce in London, John Sherman, of the '*Vil- lata de Jakeslee," Yaxley, in the Hundred of Hartesmere, Suf- folk, was taxed twelve pence. The record reads : "de Johanne Sherman xii d." (Sufifolk Green Book No. IX, Vol. 2, p. 24.) In 1341, Roger Sherman, Chaplain, suffered a fine of lands in Yaxley, Eye, and other neighboring places. (Calendar of Sufifolk fines, Rye, p. 193.) Henry Shennan, of Yaxley, son of John, appears in Court proceedings in 1349-1356, as follows : Trinity Term 24 Edward III (May- June, 1349), The Prior of Eye, Suffolk, a Village about two miles east of Yaxley, sued Henry Sherman of Jakesle, to compel him to render his reasonable account for the time during which he was the said Prior's re- ceiver of money. (De Banco Plea Roll 362: membrane 68.) Easter Term 27 Edward III (Apr.-May, 1352), John son of John of the Howe, who was of Yaxley, sued Henry son of John le Sherman for debt (D. B. P. Roll 373 :4). Trinity term 28 Edward III (May- June, 1353), Margaret who was the wife of Ivo de Kenton sued Henry le Sherman, of Yakesle to compel him to render to her reasonable account for the time during which he was her receiver. (D. B. P. Roll 378:38.) Michaelmas Term 31 Edward III (Nov., 1356), John Pampyng sued Henry Sherman of Yakesle to recover debt of 40 shillings. (D. B. P. Roll 392:317.) After this, no record of any Sherman of Yaxley has been found until May, 1395 (Trinity Term 18-19 Richard II), when Roger Glendale and Johan, his wife, sued John Wrenne, of Yaxley, John Dune, Thomas Sharman, Thpmas Cokke and Thomas Attehowe to recover the third part of twelve acres of land in Yaxley which plaintiffs claimed in dower of the dowering of Henry Sharman, formerly Johan's husband. The sheriff was ordered to seize the 10 Sherman Genealogy aforesaid third part into the hands of the King (De Banco Plea Roll 538:182). The defendant, Thomas Sharman, was probably a son of the plaintiff Johan (Sharman) Glendale. It will be seen hereafter that Thomas^ Sherman of Yaxley, in his will dated Jan. 20, 1551, mentions his "lands sumetyme Wrenys lying in Yaxlee." In Apr.-May, 1460 (Easter Term 38 Henry VI), John Kew, of Diss, and John Payn, of Reydon, sued to recover ten marks from each of John Sherman and Robert Sherman, both of Yax- ley, yeomen. (De Banco Roll 797:325. Register 68, p. 148.) The will of John Sherman of Yaxley, dated Aug. 20, 1465, was proved Oct. 2, 1466. He directs that he be buried in Yaxley churchyard, and mentions his wife Margaret, his son Robert and Robert's son William. He also mentions another Robert Sher- man who was probably a relative. He gives his wife a garden called "Bukksyerde." Thomas^ Sherman of Yaxley, who died in 1551, in his will, mentions lands called "Bukky's Lede," and he may have been a descendant of this testator John Sherman (Reg- ister 66, p. 322). The next Yaxley Sherman to be found in the records is Thomas^ Sherman, of Diss and Yaxley, who died in 1493, and with him the pedigree hereinafter given starts. From the foregoing, it appears that the following named Shermans were living at Yaxley, at the dates following : John Sherman — 1327. John Sherman — 1349. Henry Sherman, his son — 1349. Henry Sherman. Johan (Jane) Sherman, his wife — before 1395, Thomas Sherman — 1395. John Sherman — 1460. Robert Sherman — 1460. John Sherman — 1465. Margaret Sherman, his wife — 1465. Robert Sherman, their son — 1466. William Sherman, son of last mentioned Robert — 1466. Thomas^ Sherman, of Diss and Yaxley — 1492. The line of Dcdham Shermans begins with Henry* Sherman, who was born about 1520, and whose will is dated Jan. 20, 1590. Sherman Genealogy 11 OTHER EARLY SHERMANS. A license to trade in wool was granted at Westminster, June 8, 1274, to Richard le Shereman merchant of Huthe (Hythe), in Essex, near Colchester. (Calendar of Patent Rolls, Edward I.) Adam le Scherman and Christian, his wife, of Suffolk, were sued for trespass in June, 1297. (Coram Rege Rolls, Index Library.) Michaelmas Term 18 Richard H, 1394, William Sherman, of BIyburgh, James Sherman, of Little Blakenham, and John Sher- man, of Belton, all in Suffolk, were sued; William for "with swords, bows and arrows" taking and imprisoning Robert Gar- neys; James for taking and carrying away goods and chattels (De Banco Roll 535:523), and John for forcible entry and taking of property. (Same Roll 556.) Robert Sherman, Clerk, was Rector of Ikworth, Suffolk, about eight miles southwest of Yaxley, from Dec. 12, 1426, to Mar. 5, 1449/50. (Ikworth Parish Registers by Ernest Jackson, p. 39.) He was' sued for debt several times and in 1448 sued to recover a horse of the price of forty shillings. Thomas Sherman, husbandman of Aspale juxta Debenham, about seven miles south of Yaxley, was a party to actions 1438- 1449. William Sherman, Rector of the parish church of Thweyt, about three miles southwest of Yaxley, appears as party to actions 1439-1454. The will of John Herberd of Yaxley, dated Jan. 23, 1458/9, proved June 29, 1459 (P. C. C. Stokton 17), devises "all my lands late bought of Margaret Sherman & Thomas Porter, chap- lain, lying in Yaxlee in a field called Netherfield" (Register 68, p. 149.) Easter Term 24 Henry VI, 1446, Robert Scherman, of Cog- geshall, Essex, sherman, was sued for debt (De Banco Roll 741 : 27) and in Michaelmas Term 27, Henry VI, 1448, he was sued as Robert Sharman, for trespass. (Roll 751:270.) Trinity Term 8 Henry VII, 1493, Robert Wrenne, of Yax- ley, husbandman , John Sherman, of Gyslyngham, husbandman, and another, were sued by Geoffrey Dunston for forcible entry of his houses at Bury St. Edmunds and Yaxley, and taking chattels and depasturing his lands with horses and cattle on Oct. 19, 1492 (De Banco Roll 925:227). 12 Sherman Genealogy William Sherman was Vicar of Newton, Suffolk, about six miles south of Yaxley, in Nov., 1495. (Roll 936:282.) Michaelmas Term 13 Henry VII, 1497, John Sherman, of Neyland, Suffolk, near Dedham, Essex, fuller, was sued for debt. (Roll 942:165.) In 1499 Thomas Sherman was Vicar of Great Elyngham, near Diss, in Norfolk (Roll 947:221). Trinity Term 9 Henry VIII, 1517, a writ was issued for the arrest of Roger Sherman, of Debenham, Suffolk, about ten miles south of Yaxley, for detaining a horse. (Com. Pleas Roll 1019:400.) The Court Rolls of the manor of Sackville, in Debenham, have entries between 1513 and 1602, relating to a Sherman family of Debenham, tenants of that manor. Of this family were Nicholas Sherman, a tenant, in 1513. He died about 1537, leav- ing a widow, Margaret, and a youngest son and heir, John, aged ten years. Roger Sherman took land in 1513 and died about 1517, leaving Roger Sherman, his youngest son and heir, aged three years in 1519, who married Elizabeth and had a son John, who died in 1587, leaving a wife Alice, who afterwards married Qement Tuthill, and daughters Alice and Elizabeth. The said Roger and Elizabeth, his wife, both died before Sept. 2, 1601. There was also a tenant Thomas Sherman, mercer, dealer in cloths, who also lived at Horham and Ipswich, who died in 1602, having in 1601 surrendered lands to the use of his last will. These Manor Rolls are in the Town Hall, Ipswich. Gilbert Sherman, of Becclys, Suffolk, Gent, appeared in the Courts as a party often from 1533 until 1573, when Thomas* Sherman, his administrator, appears by Francis Sherman, his at- torney. Gilbert Sherman married Isabel, daughter of Robert Wolcy (Wolsey), of Beccles, dyer, and Isabel, his wife. Gilbert Sherman appeared in the Court of Common Pleas as Attorney for Richard Yaxley, sued by Thomas Sherman, of Yaxley, for £20, Michaelmas Term 28 Henry VIII, 1536. (Roll 1091 :512.) Gil- bert Sherman, described as "one of the attorneys of this Bench, 1539." (Roll 1102:412.) Michaelmas Term 3 Edward VI, 1549, Gilbert Sherman in his own proper person sued Thomas Brown, of Beccles, yeoman, for defamation in that Brown af Beccles, did say and proclaim "Sherman thow art a false Knave & a Tray tour, a Sherman Genealogy 13 Theefe, an oppressour, a bryber; and by Godds bloud, Traytour! yf thow wilt not paye me for my geldyng, I shall carry the to the Oke at Muswold with thre hundreth horsemen, for now ys the day come that all theves, oppressours & Traytours as thowe art shal be hanged ; and as for the lawe, Knave, we wyll no more of yt, & by Godds sowle, traytour, I will make the sure by & by that thoue shalt not go away." (C. P. Roll 1142:294.) The oak on Mouse- hold Heath without the gates of Norwich, was an ancient tree where traitors were hanged. Kett, in his rebellion, set up his court beneath it. EARLY NEW ENGLAND SHERMANS. The early Sherman settlers in New England, whose descen- dants in this country are so numerous, were as follows : Captain John Sherman, Rev. John Sherman and his brother Samuel Sherman, Philip Sherman and his brother Samuel Sher- man, all of whom came from Dedham, Essex County. Rev. John Sherman and his brother Samuel spelled their name "Sherman." The others spelled it "Shearman." William Sherman also came from England about 1632 to Plymouth, Mass., and afterwards settled at Marshfield where he died and was buried Oct. 25, 1679. His descendants are numerous. His place of origin in England is as yet unknown, but is was probably Northamptonshire. Other early immigrant Shermans who left no known de- scendants were Richard, uncle of Rev. John, of Dedham, who died in Boston, Mass., May 20, 1660, and Thomas Sherman, who came from London in the ship "Hopewell," Feb. 17, 1634. He may have been the Thomas who was of Ipswich, on Dec. 27, 1642, and was then sued for trespass. (Records and Files of Quarterly Courts of Essex County, Vol. I, p. 45.) He was a servant of Governor Simon Bradstreet, and on Dec. 31, 1645, was sentenced by the Court to be whipped next lecture day at Ipswich, "that is faier wether" for running away, stealing money from his master and others, writing a defamatory letter from England and forg- ing one from his father, to the prejudice of the country and his master. (Id. p. 91.) The court on Jan. 2, 1650, directed that the sentence of Thomas Shareman, servant to Worshipful Simon 14 Sherman Genealogy Brodestrette, above mentioned, of Dec. 31, 1645, be carried out, said Shareman to serve his master one year and four months longer. (Id. p. 205.) Nothing further is known of him, nor is anything known of three Shermans who came to Virginia from England; James in 1643, Edmund in 1650, and William in 1652; nor of Joseph of Wethersfield, Conn., in 1636, and Thomas of Fairfield, Conn., in 1651, and later of Long Island. Captain John Sherman came to Watertown, Mass., with his mother, Grace, then wife of Thomas Rogers, and her husband, about 1636, and lived and died there. He was the ancestor, among others, of Hon. Roger Sherman, signer of the Declara- tion of Independence; Judge Roger Minott Sherman, Judge and United States Attorney General Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar, United States Senator George Frisbie Hoar, United States Attorney- General, Secretary of State and Senator William Maxwell Evarts, Governor of Connecticut and United States Senator Roger Sher- man Baldwin and his son, Chief Justice and Governor of Con- necticut, Simeon Eben Baldwin. Hon. Samuel Sherman, brother of Rev. John, about 1634, came from Dedham with his father Edmund, w^ho died at New Haven, Conn., 1641. He lived at Watertown and Boston, Mass., Wethersfield, Stratford and Fairfield, Conn., where he died April 5, 1700. He was a leading man in New Haven Colony, a con- spicuous member of the Church and an Assistant from 1662 to 1667. He was the father of Captain and Judge John Sherman, of Woodbury, Conn., who was speaker of the Connecticut Gen- eral Assembly, Assistant and Judge of Probate and Judge of the County Court. Their descendants included General William Tecumseh Sherman and United States Senator and Secretary of State, John Sherman. Rev. John Sherman came in the ship "Elizabeth," which sailed from Ipswich "the last of April, 1634," aged 20. He settled first at Watertown, Mass., then at Milford, Conn., New Haven, Conn, and finally again at Watertown, Mass., where he died Aug. 8, 1685. He was a noted divine. Hon. Philip Sherman came in 1632/3, lived for a short time in Roxbury, Mass., removed to Rhode Island about 1638 and set- tled at Portsmouth, where he died in Mar.. 1687. He was one of the founders of the Rhode Island Colony, its first Recorder or Sherman Genealogy 15 Secretary, and prominent in all public affairs. Among his de- scendants were Gen. Thomas West Sherman, of the Mexican and Civil Wars, Vice-President James Schoolcraft Sherman and Professor Frank Dempster Sherman, of Columbia University. Samuel Sherman, brother of Philip, settled in Boston, Mass., where he died, in 1643. A William and a Thomas Sherman were in New Jersey before 1700. To the late Professor Frank Dempster Sherman, the Sherman family will be under lasting obligation for his services during many years in ascertaining the facts and compiling genealogies of the several branches of the family in America. His line of de- scent from Hon. Philip^ Sherman, of Rhode Island, is as follows : Hon. Philip^ Sherman, born Dedham, England, baptized there Feb. 10, 1611; died Mar., 1687, Portsmouth, Rhode Island; mar- ried Sarah Odding. Their son Peleg- Sherman, born Portsmouth, R. I., 1638; died 1719, Kingston, R. I.; married July 25, 1657, Elizabeth Lawton, daugter of Thomas Lawton, born 1639, and survived her husband. Their son, Thomas^ Sherman, born Ports- mouth, R. I., Aug. 8, 1658; died before July 21, 1719; married May 26, 1702, Lydia Wilcox, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Cook) Wilcox, granddaughter of Frances Cooke and Richard Warren, who came in the "Mayflower;" d. 1756, as widow of Thomas Potter, Sr. Their son, Benjamin^ Sherman, born South Kingston, R. I., about 1712; died after 1786; married for his first wife, about 1740, his second cousin, Mary Sherman, dau. of William," born June 29, 1724, North Kingston, R. I., and died May 12, 1762. Their son, James'^ Sherman, bap. South Kingston, R. I., July 17, 1762; died Jan. 12, 1839; married about 1788, Ruth Brewster, daughter of William and Olive (Morgan) Brews- ter, a descendant of Elder William Brewster of the Mayflower, born Oct. 25, 1764, and died Feb. 1, 1845. James^ Sherman served in the Revolutionary War. Their son, James^ Sherman, born Apr. 20, 1796, near Rome, N. Y. ; died Apr. 16, 1865; married Feb. 28, 1821, Fidelia Fairchild, daughter of Stephen and Ruth (Foote) Fairchild, born Nov. 8, 1799, and died Sept. 3, 1875. Their son, John Dempster'^ Sherman, born Oct. 25, 1829, at Locke, Cayuga County, N. Y. ; died Feb. 11, 1908; married Aug. 10, 1857, Lucy McFarland, daughter of Daniel and Martha (Skin- ner) McFarland, born June 14, 1838 and died Mar. 14, 1878. 16 Sherman Genealogy Their eldest son was Professor Frank Dempster^ Sherman, born May 6, 1860, at Peekskill, N. Y. ; married Nov. 16, 1887, Juliet Mersereau Durand, daughter of the Rev. Cyrus Bervic and Sarah Elizabeth (Mersereau) Durand, born Sept. 15, 1868. Profes- sor Sherman, Ph.B., Columbia, 1884, from 1886 until his death was connected with Columbia University in the School of Archi- tecture and at his death was Professor of Graphics. He was also well known as the author of many poems. He died Sept. 19, 1916. The Sherman immigrants whose descendants are hereinafter dealt with, were of the Dedham family, whose Dedham ancestor was Henry* Sherman, of Dedham and Colchester, clothier or woolen manufacturer. He undoubtedly was the son of Thomas^ Sherman, of Yaxley, a very interesting and notable character in his day. Singularly, however, in the great amount of information about these people, no absolute proof that these men were father and son has been found. Thomas^ died in 1551, leaving nine sons, of whom Henry*' was the fourth. By his father's will, dated Jan. 20, 1551, Henry* receives a legacy to be paid to him "when he comyth oute of his prentyshode." Because he was still serving as an apprentice learning a trade, he was not necessarily a minor. The usual term of apprenticeship was then seven years and al- though such terms usually began during minority, they frequent- ly continued for several years after the apprentice was of full age and sometimes began after the age of twenty-one. This was ap- parently the case with Henry.* His father was married probably about 1512, and as Henry's* daughter Alice who married Nicholas Fynce, had a daughter Elizabeth buried at Dedham, Mar 6, 1563, she must have been married in 1562 or earlier and born about 1542. Consequently, Henry* was born as early as about 1520, and in such case was about 30 years old at the time of his father's death in 1551. He was engaged in the trade of shearman or clothier or woolen manufacturer and the Dedham Manor Court Rolls show that he was a householder there in 1548. Nothing in any records as yet found shows that this Henry was not the son of Thomas^ of Yaxley, or that there was any other person named Henry Sherman who could have been the son of said Thomas. Henry, the son of Thomas, is mentioned in the wills of his mother, his brothers and his nephews, but not in such a way as to abso- lutely identify him. He was the progenitor of the Dedham Sher- Sherman Genealogy 17 mans who bore the Arms of the Yaxley Shermans. "The Arms of the Shermans of Essex, as recorded in the College of Arms, are the same with slight variation as the Arms of the Yaxley Sher- mans." (Charles A. White, Reg. 54 p. 64.) John Gwillim's "Display of Heraldry," published in 1660, says that the Dedham Shermans were "originally extracted from Yaxley in Suffolk" (Reg. 51, p. 357). Other circumstantial evidence that Henry* was the son of Thomas^ Sherman of Yaxley, will hereinafter ap- pear. Another fact not absolutely proved, but practically certain is that Grace Sherman, the mother of Captain John Sherman, of Watertown, the immigrant, was the daughter of Tobias Makin, of Fringrinhoe, Essex. The burial of his father John, and his bap- tism and that of his brother Richard, at Great Horkesly, Essex, and the baptism at Dedham of his half-sister, Elizabeth Rogers, after their mother Grace's second marriage to Thomas Rogers, as shown by the records, will appear. Grace, in her will, called the Rev. John Sherman her cousin, that is, as the term was then used, her nephew. It is quite certain that his mother, Joan, was a daughter of Tobias Makin, and consequently, a sister of Grace. These and other facts hereinafter stated and the absence of any evidence to the contrary, tend to prove the parentage of Grace Sherman. The earliest will of a Yaxley Sherman is that of John, who died in 1466. The following is an abstract of it: JOHN SHERMAN, of Yaxley, Suffolk ; m. Margaret ; d. 1466. Will dated Aug. 20, 1465. To be buried in Yaxley churchyard. Bequest to Mar- garet my wife ; to the high altar of Yaxley. To Robert my son the tenement formerly Robert Sherman's containing eight acres of land. To my godson Richard eight acres of land called Fiveacre and Ly Heme. To my wife Margaret a gar- den called Bukksyerde. A trental (thirty successive daily requiem masses) of St. Gregory to be said for my soul and the souls of my father and mother. A churchale (festival at which ale is used) to be held in Yaxley church. Executors Robert Sherman my son and his son William. Proved Oct. 18 Sherman Genealogy 2, 1466. (Archdeaconry of Sudbury, Bury St. Edmunds, Book II, fol. 384. Reg. 66, p. 322.) The will of Thomas^ Sherman, of Yaxley, dated Jan. 20, 1550/1, gives to his sister Loclcwood, an annuity charged on lands called "Bukkys Lede." 1. THOMAS^ SHERMAN, of Diss, Norfolk and Yaxley, Suf- folk, England ; mar. Agnes. He d. 1493. His will in Latin dated Nov. 4, 1492, was proved Apr. 4, 1493 (Consistory Court, Norwich, Awbrye 130). The following is a transla- tion of it : IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN the fourth day of the month of November 1492 I THO : SHERMAN of Dysse being sound of mind and of good memory, do make my testament and last will in manner follow- ing.

Henry* Sherman was serving his apprenticeship when his father Thomas^ Sherman, of Yaxley, made his will, dated Jan. 20, 1551, as he gives Henry a legacy to be paid to him "when he comyth oute of his prentyshode." He was apparently then in Dedham learning the trade or "craft," as he calls it in his will of "shearman" (pronounced sherman) or clothier or cloth maker. He must have been then about 30 years old and married for several years, as his daughter Alice was born about 1542, and his son Henry was of full age in Sept., 1570, when he was ex- cused from attendance at Dedham Manor Court. An apprentice- ship was usually for seven years and often continued for sev- eral years or may have been begun after the apprentice attained the age of 21 years. He was probably born about 1520. Thomas Wace, of Eye, Suffolk, in his will, dated June 22, 1533, proved Mar. 5, 1538 (P. C. C. Crumwell 12), appoints Thomas^ Sher- man, of Yaxley, his Executor and bequeaths 6s. 8d. to tes- tator's godson, Henry* Sherman. (Reg. 67, p. 154.) The Duchy of Lancaster Court Rolls for Dedham Manor contain many entries relating to Henry* Sherman and his sons, Henry, ^ Edmund^ and Robert.^ At a Court held Wednesday in Easter week, 1548, a precept was issued to Henry Sherman to remove rubbish "from the foot way against his door" under penalty. This was nearly three years before the date of his father's will, and he must have been then a householder. In the lay subsidy of 5 Edward VI, 1557, Henry Sherman was taxed at Dedham, Lexden Hundred, Essex, on £22 in goods. At the first court of Queen Elizabeth, held on Nov. 9, 1 Elizabeth (1559), Henry* Sherman and others took the chief pledges with homage or acknowledgment to the Lord of the Manor of tenure under him. In each year from 1561 to 1564, inclusive, and in later years, he was sworn of the homage, and on Sept. 30, 1567, he took sur- render of a cottage and one rod of copyhold land and also "the 58 Sherman Genealogy fourth part of one cottage and 14 acres of copyhold land called the Hykell." He is then called Henry Sherman Senior. This Hykel or Heckel land was held by later generations of the Sher- man family. Sept., 1570, Henry^ Sherman, Jr., is essoined (ex- cused for non-attendance at the court baron or Manor Court). This indicates that he was then of full age and consequently born as early as Sept., 1549. John^ Sherman was sworn as tylhing- man Tuesday in Easter Week, 1572. This was probably the son of Henry^ Sherman, Sr. On Sept. 30, 1572, Edmund^ Sherman, son of Henry* Sherman, Senior, was essoined and consequently must have then been of full age. June 22, 1573, Henry* Sher- man, Sr., acquired by surrender one-third part of the Hykell property. Oct. 4, 1573, Henry^ Sherman, Jr., was elected con- stable for the coming year. Henry Sherman, Sr. and Jr. were then living on adjoining properties, as a precept was then issued to Henry, Sr., to "scour his ditch from the door of Henry Sher- man, Jr., as far as the house of John Stone." Henry, Jr., was still constable on Apr. 11, 1575. On Sept. 26, 1575. Henry Sherman, Sr., acquired by surrender "the third part of the fourth part" of the Hykell property. On Oct. 22, 1578, Nicholas Fynce sur- rendered certain land to the use of Henry Sherman, Sr. (his father-in-law) on conditions. Apr. 12, 1581, Thomas Cradocke surrendered all his part and purpart of and in one house and barn and 14 acres of land to use of Henry Sherman (probably Hykell). Oct. 2, 1581, Edmund^ Sherman was elected constable. Ed- mund'^ Sherman, Jr., appears in the court records of Nov. 30, 1580. Mar. 20, 1590/1, found that Henry* Sherman, the elder, a tenant of this manor, died since the last court. He held certain lands called the Heckell and Wayland containing 14 acres and a pightell called Byrdes containing Ij^ acres. Robert^ Sherman, youngest son of the said Henry, is his heir according to the cus- tom of the manor. Further transactions relating to this Heckell land will appear later. These court rolls also show many trans- fers of lands to and by Henry* Sherman, Sr., and his sons Henry and Edmund. Easter Term 8 Elizabeth, 1566, Henry Sherman paid for license to agree with Thomas Rochester, clerk, and Dorothy, his wife and Henry Broke, clerk, and Barbara, his wife, of a plea Sherman Genealogy 59 of covenants concerning one messuage, one orchard, one garden and one rood of land with appurtenances in Dedham. (C. P. P. Roll 1243:486.) Michaelmas Term 13-14 Elizabeth, 1571, Henry Sherman, otherwise called Henry Sherman, of Dedham, Essex, clothier, sued Thomas Webbe, of Woodbridge, Suffolk, clothier, for debt (C. P. P. Roll 1296:595). Michaelmas Term 14-15 Elizabeth, 1572, Henry Sherman, otherwise called Henry Shearman, of Dedham, clothier, by Miles Lakyn, sued Thomas Webbe, of Woodbridge, clothier, for debt. (C. P. P. Roll 1307:895.) Easter Term 17 Elizabeth, 1575, Henry Sherman, of Ded- ham, clothier, with William Cutter, of Dedham, clothier, Michael Upcher, of Dedham, clothier, and Lewis Sparhawke, of the same, mercer, were arbitrators in matters in dispute concerning the will of Thomas Lewes, late of Dedham, deceased, and the will of Elizabeth Lewes, late of Dedham, widow, deceased.

(Reg. 54, p. 158.) The Lany nephews mentioned by the testator were sons of his brother-in-law John Lany of Cratfield, who married first Katharine daughter of Anthony Yaxley of Melles, Suffolk, and second Aslake of Norfolk and had by his first wife John Lany, Counsellor at Law, Justice of the Peace and Recorder of Ips- wich, James Lany of Berwick, Thomas Lany of Newark juxta Leicester, and Benjamin Lany, and by his second wife Aslake Lany. (History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, Vol. 3, p. 400.) John Lany was elected Recorder of Ipswich during the Town's pleasure Saturday 27 Elizabeth 23 Jan. (1585). Lie died Oct., 1633, and was buried at St. Margaret's, Ipswich, where his monument is in the south transept. His youngest son Ben- jamin Lany, D.D. was Master of Pembroke College, Cam- bridge and successively Bishop of Peterborough, Lincoln and Ely (Bacon's Annals of Ipswich, p. 340). Faith Sherman, William's widow, was buried Feb. 26. 1606/7 in St. Stephen's Church, Ipswich. Her will (Faith Sherman of Ipswich, widow) dated Sept. 12, 1605, was proved May 6, 1607; mentions son John; son-in-law Christopher Ballard ; grandchild Robert Duck when 21 ; daughter Margaret Duck ; daughter Faith Ballard ; son John's wife ; grandchildren William, John, Cave and Thomas Sherman, four sons of John when 21 ; grandchildren Amy and Faith Browne when 21 ; John, Tobias and Elizabeth, children of daughter Ballard; son Richard, his wife.

This shows that Faith (Lany) Sherman was the daughter of Richard Lany of London, Gent., and his wife Margaret Cooke, daughter of Robert Cooke, of Cratfield, Gent., and Agnes Bohun, his wife, who was daughter of Edmund Bohun, of Fressingfield, Suffolk. Richard Lany had also a son John who married Katherine Yaxley, daughter of Anthony, of Mellis, Suffolk. In "History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester," by John Nichols, Vol. Ill, p. 400, is a pedigree of Lany of Leicester and Revesby as follows: John Lany, of Cratfield, Suffolk m. (1) Katherine, daughter of (Anthony) Yaxley, of Melles, Suffolk, and (2) Elizabeth, daughter and heir of William Aslake and widow of Blennerhasset, of Norfolk, and had by first wife, John Lany, Recorder of Ipswich, James Lany of Berwick, Thomas Lany of the Newark and Benjamin Lany ; by second wife, Aslake Lany, of Pelham, who married Elizabeth Jerningham ("Norfolk Families," by Walter Rye (1913), p. 466). These sons are the nephews mentioned in the will of William* Sherman. William* Sherman was serving an apprenticeship at the date of his father's will, Jan. 20, 1551, and was probably of full age then. He is the only one of the nine sons not mentioned in the will of his mother. He was a citizen of London and a grocer, and became a rich man, living in Ipswich in his later years. Trinity Term, 3 and 4 Philip and Mary (1556), William Sherman sued in the Court of Common Pleas, Thomas Crane of Thrandeston, husbandman, for 3 fyrkyns of butter of the price of 40 shillings (Roll 1171 :684).

Trinity Term 13 Elizabeth (1571), William Sherman, citizen and grocer, of London, by his brother Francis Sherman, his attorney, sued Robert Lancaster on a bond for de- livery of "sixe fyrkyns of salte butter, good, swete and mer- chauntable." (C. P. P. Roll 1292:416.) Michaelmas Term 13-14 Elizabeth (1571), he paid for license to covenant touching the Manor of Horham Jernegam and 40 messuages, 40 tofts, 400 acres of land, 200 acres of meadow, 200 acres of pasture, 20 acres of wood and 100 shillings rent, in Horham, Allyngton, Bedlyngfeld, Denham, Stradbroke, Wilbe and Eye, as well as the advowson of the Church of Horham. (C. P. P. Roll 1296:873.) Some of these lands are mentioned in his will. He was also plaintiff in actions for debts. After his death, Faith Sherman, his widow and Executrix, in 1584, brought several actions for debts, one of them being on a bond made in 1581 payable to William Sherman at his dwelling house in Ipswich. Hilary Term 28 Elizabeth (1586),' Faith Sherman, widow, Executrix of the will of William Sherman, gent., by Francis Sherman, her brother-in-law, her at- torney, in the Court of Common Pleas, sued Thomas Blake, of Roydon, gent., to recover £8. (Roll 1457:2224.) Thomas Blake was a Barrister of the Middle Temple and in 1582 married Eliza- beth^ Sherman, daughter of Thomas* Sherman and a niece of William* Sherman. Easter Term, 44 Elizabeth (1602), Faith Sherman, widow, Executrix of the testament of William Sherman, in the Court of Kings Bench, sued John Gouldsmythe for £100 on a bond made at Horham by John Gouldsmythe, Senior, 4 December, 18 Eliza- beth (1575) (Roll 1680:125). The Herald's Visitation of Leices- tershire, 1619, gives the Sherman pedigree for five generations, beginning with Thomas^ Sherman, of Yaxley, and showing mostly descendants of William* Sherman and describing the Sherman Arms, as : "Or, a lion rampant sable, charged on the shoulder with an annulet for difference, between three oak leaves vert." The annulet for difference denotes that William* was the fifth son. (Register 54, p. 66.) 8. ANTHONY* SHERMAN (3. Thomas,^ John,^ Thomas^), of Roydon, Norfolk, Gentleman.

To the reparation of said Church and to the poor of Roydon, Diss and Yaxley. His wife and son William, Executors and residuary legatees. His brother Thomas Sherman overseer. Witnesses ; Thomas Blake, Nicholas Sherman and Robert Rychardson (Reg. 54, p. 157.) He was of Yaxley, Michael- mas Term 8-9 Elizabeth, 1566, when he was sued by John Lyvers, of London, Merchant, on a bond made Sept. 11, 1563. He appeared by his brother Francis Sherman, his attorney. The plaintiff recovered and a precept was issued to take Anthony to satisfy the judgment (C. P. P. Rolls 1247:532 and 1250:2095). He was, therefore, over twenty-one years old in Sept. 1563. He was probably born about 1539 or earlier. He afterwards lived and died in Roydon, Norfolk. Trinity Term, 33 Elizabeth (1591), the jury was respited in an action in the Court of Common Pleas by Robert Hall, gent., and Mary, his wife, executrix of the testament of An- thony Sherman, deceased, against Barbara Sherman, of Yax- ley, widow; John Sherman, of Yaxley, gent., and William Sherman, of Yaxley, gent., executors of the testament of Thomas Sherman, gent., late called Thomas Sherman, of Yaxley, gent.

The will of Henry Reignoldes, of Little Belstead (near Ips- wich), Suffolk, dated Aug. 9, 1585, proved Oct. 13, 1587, men- tions his wife Elizabeth and gives "to my cousin Sherman of Col- chester, five pounds." Mentions "My brother Edward Withipoll, Peter Withipoll and Benjamin Withipoll." "My brother Paul Withipoll." "My sister Frances Withipoll." (Reg. 50, p. 281.) The cousin Sherman here referred to is probably Henry* Sher- man, of Colchester. If so, it is evidence that he was the brother of Anthony* Sherman and son of Thomas^ Sherman, of Yaxley. The following facts indicate this. Edmund Wythipoll or Withi- poll, of Ipswich, and Elizabeth Hynde, his wife, had sons Ed- ward, Peter, Benjamin and Paul, and daughters Frances and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was probably the wife of the testator Henry Reignoldes. (Visitation of Suffolk, 1561.) He was son of Rob- ert Reignolde by his third wife. Robert Reignolde's fourth wife was Mary Waller, of Ipswich. She was daughter of William Waller, of Ipswich, and mentioned in his will dated Mar. 1, 1535/6, proved Aug. 31, 1536 (P. C. C. Hogen 39). Thomas^ Sherman, father of Anthony* Sherman and of Henry* Sherman, of Colchester, married Jane Waller, daughter of John Waller, of Wortham, Suffolk. (Visitation of Suffolk, 1561.) George Wal- ler, brother of said Jane, married Mary Yaxley, daughter of Anthony Yaxley, of Melles, Suffolk, whose other daughter Eliza- beth Yaxley was the first wife of Thomas* Sherman, of Diss and Yaxley, brother of Henry* Sherman, of Colchester, and of An- thony* Sherman. Benjamin Wittipoll married Margaret^ Sher- man, daughter of Anthony.* If Robert Reignolde, the father of Henry Reignoldes, the testator, and Thomas^ Sherman, the father of Henry* Sherman, married sisters or cousins, Henry Reignoldes might call Henry* Sherman, of Colchester, his "cousin Sherman of Colchester." Star Chamber Proceedings begun in 1587 by Barbara Sher- man, widow of Thomas* Sherman, above mentioned, refer to Anthony* Sherman and his death and give the maiden name of his widow and the names of her father and second husband. Reference is also made therein to Anthony* Sherman's daughter, Margaret Wittipoll. 68 Sherman Genealogy 9. FRANCIS'' SHERMAN (3. Thomas,' John,^ Thomas^, of Bruisyard, Breseworth, and Little Thornham, Sufifolk and Blownorton, Norfolk, Gent., b. about 1540 or earlier, m. Sib- bell Grey, daughter of Thomas Grey, Gent., of Goswold Hall in Thrandeston, Suffolk. (Reg. 54, p. 65.) Francis was one of the youngest, the seventh, of the sons of his father who, by his will gave him his east lands in Diss and certain lands in Breseworth (Bruiseyard?), Suffolk "When he ar- rives at the age of twenty-two years" and directed that his executors should take the profits of said lands "until the said twenty-two years to fynde said Fraunces to scole and other lernyng." He was probably not more than eleven or twelve years old on Jan. 20, 1551, the date of his father's will. (Reg. 54, p. 153.) A suit in Chancery was brought by Francis Sherman, of Little Thornham, Suffolk, Gent., before 1579, against Thomas Graye, Gent., to recover moneys agreed to be paid under the marriage settlement between the complainant and defendant on the marriage of complainant with Sybell Graye, daughter of said Thomas Graye (before Sir Nicholas Baker, keeper of the Great Seal, 1558-1579, Chy. Pro. Series II, Bundle 161, No. 82. Only one paper on file, not dated). Francis* Sherman was buried at Diss, Norfolk, Oct. 3, 1605 (Reg. 59, p. 398). His will, dated Oct. 21, 1602, proved Nov. 27, 1605. (London Hayes 76.) Describes testator as of Blownorton, Norfolk. "To be buried in the chancell where God shall call me." To the poor of Yaxley, son Alexander Sherman Executor (Reg. 54, p. 161). Child : 17 I. Alexander^ Sherman, b. 1562. The visitation of Suffolk, 1577, Harleian Society Publica- tions, gives the pedigree of Grey of Eye. According to this, Sybell Grey, wife of Francis Sherman, was the daughter of Thomas Grey, of Thrandeston, and Anne Plumsted, his wife, Thomas Grey was the son of John Grey, who was the son of Richard Grey. Francis* Sherman, Gentleman, became an At- torney of the Court of Common Pleas and often appeared as such. His first appearance was in Nov., 1562. He was also plaintiff in many actions, the first thereof being in Nov., 1561, so Sherman Genealogy 69 that he must have been born in 1540 or earlier. He was one of the Clerks of William Whetley, Chief Prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas in Nov., 1565, and v^^as then described as of Breseworth, Suffolk. In Nov., 1566, he is described as of Yax- ley. He appeared as Attorney for his brother Thomas in 1564, for his brother Richard in 1567, 1568 and 1572, for his brother William in 1571 and 1579, and for William's widow. Faith, in 1586, for his brother Anthony in 1562 and for his brother Bar- tholomew in 1572, and for his nephew Nicholas, in 1586. He ap- peared in the Court of Common Pleas as plaintiff in actions for debt in 1591, 1592, 1601 and 1602. Easter Term Z7 Elizabeth (1595), Francis Sherman, gent., one of the attorneys of the King's Bench, in his own proper person, sues his nephew Nicho- las Sherman, of Bramford, Suffolk, for £100. (C. P. P. Roll 1546:186). Easter Term, 43 Elizabeth (1601), Edward Withi- poll, gent., sues Francis Sherman, of London and Thrandeston, Suffolk, gent., and others for 60 shillings each (Roll 160:372). At the same term he had the Sheriff of Norfolk county fined for not producing under attachment, a debtor (Roll 1662:1537). He was of Breseworth in 1587. 10. JAMES* SHERMAN (3.

James* Sherman was under 22 years of age at date of his father's will, Jan. 20, 1551. His father gave him a legacy of £40. to be paid to him at 22, the profits of certain lands to go to the "fynding" of "J'^'^'iss to scole until the said twenty second yere." His occupation is not known. He lived at Yaxley. Trinity Term, 15 Elizabeth 1573, James Sherman, gent., sued William Annable, of Yaxley, for debt (C. P. P. Roll 1316:279). His widow Margery married Gyles Poolye, 70 Sherman Genealogy Vicar of Yaxley. Poolye filed in the Court of Requests, a bill of complaint dated Oct. 14, 26 Elizabeth, 1584, stating that "about ten years last past orator fortuned to espouse one Margerie, late wife and sol executrix of Jeames Sherman late of Yaxley, deceased and by that means, about the space of one year and an half last past commenced sute against one Thomas Sherman of Yaxley, gentleman, brother, [of James] and sole executor unto Thomas Sherman their father, de- ceased, for the wrongful deteyning of a legacy of fortie poundes given unto the said Jeames by the said Thomas his father." "Orator also upon frendly trust delivered unto the said Thomas Sherman the younger a written book conteyning the certeyntie of all the gleabe lands and tythes of his Vicar- age. Being a man without conscience, Thomas Sherman the younger not only refuseth to pay the legacy in question but also to redelyver up the book. In lyke manner he dealeth with orator for the delyverie of a discharge for arrears of rent due from Jeames Sherman for Hobbes tenement and Hill close, which orator hath paid. He likewise denyeth unto orator the quiet use of Barne close. Finally he has confed- erated himself with one John Newman, of Yaxley, laborer and instigated him to commence sute against orator upon an obligation of £20." The answer of Thomas Sherman gent, says that Thomas Sherman gent, deceased, father to this de- fendant, did by his last will devise unto James Sherman, deceased, the sum of £40 which defendant did pay unto the said James his brother, in his lifetime. The book he con- fesseth he had, but he does not now know where it is. (Court of Requests Bundle 322.) Children: 18 I. Francis^ Sherman, of Yaxley. II. Bridget^ Sherman, m.

Sherman now claims payment of certain bonds for the rent and furniture and from these the complainants pray for re- lief. From defendant's answer it appears that his father-in-law was John Brooke.

Presented by Mercy Prescott, to Rebecca Prescott, 1742 Now owned by Mrs. C. E. W. McDonald Sherman Genealogy 137 Apr. 19, 1735, on petition of Joseph Tucker, and other inhabi- tants of Dorchester and Stoughton, showing that there are great contentions between petitioners and others with reference to the Indian lands at Puncapaug, which have occasioned great expense in law, the General Court ordered that Thomas Gushing Esqr. and others be a committee to repair to Stoughton and hear the peti- tioners and John Wentworth and William Sherman on their sev- eral pretensions referring to the Indian lands at Puncapaug, that the Committee examine the Indian deeds, leases and plots, have the lands surveyed and report to the Court what they judge proper to be done on this petition as also in the affair of John Wentworth and William Sherman and that the petitions and re- port of John Quincy Esq. and Mr. Oxenbridge Thacher referring to Sherman and Wentworth's purchasing the Indian land be ac- cordingly referred. (Acts and Resolves Chap. 261, Vol. XII, p. 119.) The Committee so appointed in Apr., 1735, reported on June 8, 1735, that they had viewed the lands, examined the deeds &c. and heard the parties, and were of opinion that the report of the Committee appointed in Sept., 1734, to inspect the survey of 270 acres (a deed whereof had been executed by Amos Ahauton and others Indian proprietors of Puncapaug to John Wentworth and William Sherman) be accepted and the 270 acres conveyed by the deed be confirmed to said Wentworth and Sherman provided the land did not extend beyond certain limits and the General Court ordered July 2, 1735, that the report be accepted and that John Quincy Esq. Trustee &c. be desired to imploy at interest, the consideration money of £170 and distribute the interest to the Indians (Acts and Resolves, Vol. XII, p. 168, Chap. 97). At the time of his death William Sherman had in all 109 acres of land. His grave stone in the Canton Cemetery has this inscription : HERE LIES Y BODY OF Mt WILLIAM SHERMAN WHO DEPARTED T^IS LIFE MARCH Y 20 1741 IN Y 49*'? YEAR OF HIS AGE. 138 Sherman Genealogy A foot stone has on it Ml WILLIAM SHERMAN. The date is New Style and the stone was probably made after the change from Old to New Style in 1752. Letters of administration were issued by the Probate Court of Suffolk County, Apr. 21, 1741, to Mehetabel Sherman, the widow. Her bond in £1200. dated that day was executed by her (signed "Mehetbel Sherman"), and by John Wentworth, hus- bandman and William Wheeler, House-wright, both of Stoughton, as sureties and was witnessed by Roger Sherman and John Payne. July 27, 1741, John Wentworth, William Wheeler and Sion Morse were sworn as appraisers. The inventory is as follows : "A True Inventory of all &c Singular the Goods & Chattels of William Sherman Cordwainer Late of Stoughton Deceased.

This inventory was presented by the administratrix and sworn to by her and the appraisers Aug. 7, 1741. On file is a letter from William Sherman as follows : "Stoughton Novemr ye 11th 1741 To the Honbl Josiah Willard Esqr Judge of the Probate for the County of Suffolk This is to Inform your Honr that I am freely willing that the Estate of my Father William Sherman Cordwainer late of Stoughton aforsd Dec'd should be settled upon my Brother Roger Sherman Your Humble Servant William Sherman" The appraisers certified to the Probate Judge that they were acquainted with the land of William Sherman Cordwainer, de- ceased, and in their judgment it was not sufficient for more than one settlement, and would not admit of a division without great damage to the whole. On June 29, 1742, the Probate Judge made an order reciting that it had been represented to him that the real estate of Will- iam Sherman, Cordwainer, deceased, intestate, would not admit of a division among all his children without great damage to the whole, and that it will not make more than one settlement, and directing and empowering John Wentworth, William Wheeler and Sion Morse, freeholders, to make a just and true appraise- ment of the real estate of said William Sherman. These ap- 140 Sherman Genealogy praisers were sworn July 6, 1742. They made a report dated July 28, 1742. that the real estate consisting of one dwelling house and two lots of land, one containing by estimation 7^ and the other 36 acres, is worth i558 old tenor. Sept 14, 1742, the administratrix presented an additional inventory of two items, as follows : One Bed & Beding " 12—00—00 Two Sheep 02—00—00 il4 This was sworn to by the administratrix and the appraisers. On Sept. 14, 1742, the widow presented and filed and the court allowed her account as administratrix, in which she charged herself with receipts amounting to £706.11.10. This included the real estate valued at £558. She was credited with payments aggregating il28.14.9. These included funeral charges £13.1.5.; to Dr. James Girald £1.5; to Dr. McDelhond £4.10; to Joseph Heart well £6.14. The widow's signature to the account is "Mehetabe Sherman." There is also on file the bond of Roger Sherman, Cordwainer, as principal and John Shepard, Gentle- man, and Eleazar May, husbandman, all of Stoughton, to the Probate Judge of Suffolk County in £1116. "Bills of credit of the old Tenour." Dated Nov. 26, 1742. The condition of this bond is that, "whereas the real estate of William Sherman, Cord- wainer, deceased, intestate, cannot admit of a division among all his children without great damage thereto, and the said estate having been appraised at the sum of Five hundred & fifty eight Pounds old Tenour is assigned unto his son Roger Sherman, the above bounden he paying thereout unto his Brothers & Sisters or their Legal Representatives their Rateable Parts of the Ap- praised value thereof. That is to say, to William Sherman, Eldest son of the Deced. the sum of Ninety three Pounds as his Double Portion thereof and to The rest of the deced's Children namely Nathaniel Sherman, Josiah Sherman, Mehitabel Battles, Eliza Sherman & Rebecca Sherman or their Legal Representa- tives the sum of Forty Six Pounds & ten Shillings apiece in Bills of Publick Credit on or before" Nov. 26, 1743, with interest at the rate of £10 per cent per annum, and at and upon the death Sherman Genealogy 141 of their mother or other the determination of her term in the premises, "the said Roger Paying unto his said Brother William the further sum of Forty six Pounds ten Shillings, and to the rest of the said Deceds Children or their Legal Representatives the sum of twenty three pounds five shillings a piece old Tenour, to complete their respective portions of and their said Father's Real Estate," and if said Roger Sherman fulfill the decree of said Judge of Probate by paying said sum of money with interest "without Fraud Coven or Delay," the obligation to be void. This obligated him to pay a total of £488 — 5s. On file with the Probate Court is a receipt dated at Dedliam, June 1, 1743, signed by John Battel and Mehetable Battel at- tested by Mathew Hastings and Nathanael Sherman, acknowledg- ing receipt "from our Brother Roger Sherman late of Stoughton" of £46. "being full of our due of Real Estate of our Hono Father William Sherman Late of Stoughton decesd. except what will become Due to us after the Decease our Hono mother of her Dower Agreable to the Settlement made by the Honorable Judge of Probate." There is also on file a similar receipt by Elizabeth Sherman for £73. which, with what she had before received, was in full of her share of the real and personal estate of her father, except what would become due after the death of her mother. This is dated New Dilleway (part of New Milford, Conn.), Apr. 1, 1748, and is witnessed by Mehetabel Sherman and Nathanael Sherman. Roger sold the real estate for £157. 10s, and conveyed it by deed dated Dec. 23, 1742, hereinafter men- tioned. In this deed he is described as "cordwainer." Mehetabel Sherman, the widow, d. at New Haven, Conn., Apr. 12, 1776. The inscription on her tombstone in the New Haven Burial Ground on Grove Street is as follows : In Memory of Mrs. MEHETABEL SHER- MAN Relict of Mr. WILLIAM SHERMAN of Stoughton She was born at Watertown Feb 26th. 167/8 O. S. & died April 12th. 1776 N. S. in the 89th Year of her age. 142 Sherman Genealogy She was youngest daughter of Benjamin WelHngton son of Roger Wellington who came from England to Watertown N Eng- land about the Year 1635. A family Bible of his son Hon. Roger Sherman, printed in 1768, contains a record of William Sherman's family, the names of the children and of the months of birth being in a cipher. This record is mainly in the handwriting of Roger and most of it was probably copied or compiled from earlier records. It is as fol- lows: "William Sherman of Watertown born June 1692. He died at Stoughton Mar. 20th 1741. Mehetabel Wellington born at Watertown Feb. 26th 1688 or 1687. She married to William Sherman 1715. Died at New Haven Apr. 12. 1776 their children are the following: William Sherman born March 20, 1717. O. S. March 31 N. S. Died April 20th, 1756. Mehetabel, born November 26, 1718 O. S.

William^" Sherman, b. at Watertown, Mar. 20, 1717/18 O. S. Merchant, New Milford, Conn. He came there in 1740, owned land there and was in business for several years with his brother Roger in a building on the site of the present Town Hall. m.

His grave stone in New Milford Old Burying Ground has this inscription: "Here Lyes y^ Body of Mr. William Sherman April who Died March y* 20th A.D. 1756: Aged 39 Years & 20 days He was the Son of William Sherman which was the Son of Joseph Sherman which was the Son of John Sherman of Watertown." The word "March" is partially erased and the word "April" is cut in the stone over it. He d. intestate. May 5, 1756, on the application of his brother Roger Sherman Esqr. and his widow Ruth Sherman, the Probate Court held at Woodbury, Conn., granted Letters of Administration to them, they giving a recognizance in £100 each. On June 1, 1756, they exhibited in Court and swore to an in- ventory, the estate having been appraised by Capt. Nathan Botch- ford, and Mr. Amos North of New Milford, and sworn to by them May 11, 1756. This includes his apparel £13-12-6; money, goods and merchandise in the shop and elsewhere; furniture, "The house lot 3 acres and the buildings on it" £115 "Two acres & 128 rods of land on town hill at 20 s. pr. acre £2-16-0" total £381-0-9 1/4 "On Sept. 20, 1756, Mr. Roger Sherman, Adminis- trator, appeared in Court and exhibited an agreement of all con- corned in the estate, which was accepted as a full settlement of the estate, it being noted that Ruth Sherman, administratrix in conjunction with Deacon Roger Sherman, has signified to the Court her desire of being released from her above sd. care, sd. Deacon Sherman consenting to take the whole burden on himself, hereupon the Court discharged sd. Ruth Sherman from her ad- ministration and her bond." The agreement is dated Sept. 11, 1756. It is in the handwriting of Roger Sherman. The original 144 Sherman Genealogy is in the Connecticut State Library at Hartford. It states that William Sherman, late of New Milford, died intestate having no children, wherefore by law his estate remains to be divided among Ruth Sherman, widow and relict of the deceased, and the brothers and sisters of the deceased, viz. : Roger Sherman of New Milford, Nathaniel Sherman of Bedford, Josiah Sherman of Woburn, Mass., Mehetabel Battel, wife of John Battel of Ded- ham, Mass. ; Elizabeth Buck, wife of James Buck and Rebekah Hartwell, wife of Joseph Hartwell, both of New Milford, who being all of full age and legally capable to act agree to settle and divide the estate as follows : the real estate, being a dwelling house and three acres of land in New Milford and two acres and 128 rods of land in New Milford, apprized in the whole at ill7-16-0, to belong to Roger, and the goods, chattels and credits amount to £1731-9-8 and the debts appear to be in the whole £1267-8-6; and also agree to allow to Roger for his services and expenses as administrator £126-0. There remains of the per- sonal estate after deducting debts and charges of administration £338-1-2 to be divided among the heirs, one half of which be- longs to the widow Ruth Sherman and the other half to be equally divided among the other heirs, the said Ruth in con- sideration of her said share hath received the household goods and one cow and she hath also received of Roger security for the payment of £195 which she accepts in full settlement of her share in the personal estate and also for her dower in the said real estate and in consideration thereof she releases and quit claims all dower unto Roger; Roger hath also paid and secured to be paid unto Nathaniel, Josiah, Mehetabel, Elizabeth and Rebekah, to each of them £53. which they accept as their full shares of the real and personal estate and they and John Battel, James Buck and Joseph Hartwell release and quit claim all their right title and interest in the real and personal estate to Roger and he, for the consideration aforesaid, covenants with the rest of the heirs to pay all the debts due from the estate, the other heirs having given sufficient security to refund their rateable parts of all such debts as may hereafter appear to be due from the estate above the sum above mentioned.

Roger Sherman, wrote a letter to her as follows : '"Philadelphia January 18'^ 1792 Dear Sister I have for a long time been waiting for an opportunity to write to you and have now obtained one by favour of Mr. Phelps who has undertaken to forward this to you. I was at your house at New Milford in September last. Brother Hartwell and your children were then in health. I saw your daughter Gaylord who lives in the house with Deacon Gaylord. She told me that your friends there were all well. Brother Hartwell appears to live a lonesome life in your absence he says he was not willing that you should go so long a journey He says that he does not expect to come and accompany you home, nor does he know that you would be willing to come if he should — he came to New Haven once on purpose to ask my advice about the matter. It ap- pears to me that it will be best for you to return home as soon as you can have the company of any friend. I should be willing to assist you if it was in my power — Your husband and you have lived together a great number of years and by your joint industry have acquired a good estate — and brought up a family of children who are all married and settled in families by themselves, and now you might be mutual com- forts to each other in the decline of life and enjoy the fruits of your industry, and dwell together as heirs of the grace of life as an inspired Apostle enjoins. I fear that if you should continue absent from your husband till the expiration of three years he will despair of your returning and obtain a divorce. I hope you will find means to come home soon I would give ten dollars toward the expence to any friend that shall assist you in coming home — You would not I believe be willing to be forever seperated from your husband and be considered as the blameable cause of it — I have been at Phila- delphia attending Congress about three months, and expect to continue here till the middle of next month — I wish you would send me a letter to this place, to let me know how you 148 Sherman Genealogy do and what wishes or prospects you have of coming home — I received a letter from home this week & my family were well.

It afterwards belonged to her daughter Mehetabel (Sherman) Barnes, born in 1774, and later to her daughter-in- law, Mrs. Daniel Barnes, ihe mother of William Evarts Barnes, and was given to his daughter Mrs. McDonald after her birth in 1862.

Roger Sherman lived with his family at Stoughton, working on his father's farm in what it now Canton, and learn- ing from his father his trade of shoemaker or cordwainer, un- til, his father having died on March 20, 1741, he with the family moved to New Milford in June. 1743, where his eldest brother William had settled in 1740. He joined Dr. Samuel Dunbar's Church in Stoughton, March 14. 1742. As previously stated, his ti Sherman Genealogy 155 father died intestate and the widow was appointed administra- trix. As the real estate could not be divided, the Probate Court Nov. 26, 1742, assigned it to Roger, at a valuation of £558, directing him to pay the other children their shares, the widow to have her dower. He soon thereafter sold the real estate for £157-10s. and conveyed it to Stephen Badlam, of Dedham, gen- tleman, by warranty deed dated Dec. 23, 1742, in which his mother Mehetabel Sherman "widow relict to the above named William Sherman Deced" joined and did "resign up all her right of thirds" in the property. In this deed he described himself as of Stoughton, "cordwainer." It was witnessed by Isaac Royall and William Sherman, was acknowledged Dec. 23, 1742, before Isaac Royall, Justice of the Peace, and was recorded Feb. 7, 1743 in Liber 67, folio 212. It describes the property as "A certain Tract or parcel of land lying in Stoughton aforesaid containing by estimation seventy three acres and was the Home Lot of Wil- liam Sherman late of Stoughton Deceased and is Bounded as follows first Southerly upon John Wentworths Land and Dor- chester Line so called, Westerly upon land of Joseph Tucker, Northerly upon Daniel Stone's and Nathaniel Moseleys Land, North easterly partly on Land of Moses and Benjamin Gill and partly on Land of Joseph Este, beginning at a red oak tree marked standing in the fence near Pequet Brook and so to Run on a straight line till it comes to the Corner of the Fence at the way leading to Dorchester Swamp in the Line betwixt said Este and Sherman's Land. Easterly on the Highway leading to Dorchester Swamp. And also another Piece or Tract of Land lying in Stoughton aforesaid containing Thirty Six acres and was part of the Estate of the aforesaid William Sherman Deceased and is Bounded Southerly upon John Wentworths Land, Westerly upon Moses and Benjamin Gills Land, northerly upon Samuel Stones Land and Easterly upon Land belonging to Phillip Liscom Jun"" and Land under the Improvement of Elhanan Lynn Jun'." In consideration of his motlier's release of her dower, Roger afterwards granted to her a life estate in certain real property in New Milford as hereinafter mentioned. In New Milford he car- ried on the business of a general countr}^ merchant with his brother William until William's death in 1756, and afterwards from February 9, 1757 to April 1, 1759, in partnership with An- 156 Sherman Genealogy thony Carpenter under the name of "Sherman & Carpenter." A ledger or account book of this firm is now in the Library of Yale University. The first recorded judgment of the Superior Court at Litch- field, Conn., on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1752, is in favor of William Sherman and Roger Sherman, of New Milford, against John Treat of New Milford. He lived in New Milford (at first in that part thereof called New Dillaway) until June 30, 1761, when he moved to New Haven. In an account book or ledger in posses- sion of Roger S. White, on the fly leaf in his handwriting is this : "Began at New Haven, July 1, 1761, being the next day after I moved to New Haven * * * Test. Roger Sherman." At the session beginning Oct. 10, 1745, he was appointed by the Gen- eral Assembly, Surveyor of Lands for the County of New Haven, New Milford being then in that County. "This Assembly ap- points Mr. Roger Sherman to be surveyor of Lands for the Count}' of New Haven" (Conn. Colonial Records, Vol IX, p. 173). This office he held until May, 1752, when Litchfield County was established and he was appointed to the same office for the county continuing therein until May, 1758, when he re- signed. The record in May, 1752, says "This Assembly do ap- point Mr. Roger Sherman of New Milford to be surveyor of Lands in the County of Litchfield instead of being Surveyor in the County of New Haven." (Conn. Col. Rec, Vol. X, p. 416.) He also did a large and remunerative private business in survey- ing. He must have inherited his taste for mathematics and sur- veying as his grandfather Joseph and his great grandfather Cap- tain John were both surveyors. In 1751 he received from the Colony a fee of £83. 14s. for making a survey. In 1756 his property was assessed by New Milford for taxa- tion at £124-05-0. the highest assesssment of any one in the town, being £270-12 and only sixteen persons being assessed for more than Mr. Sherman. He dealt extensively in lands in New Milford, owning several hundred acres and a dwelling house be- fore he had been there seven years. In a deed dated Sept. 10, 1746, of 22 acres of swampy land in New Milford, lying near the North end of the township, from his brother William Sherman, of New Dillaway, yeoman, to him. he is described as Roger Sher- man of New Dillaway "cordwainer." This deed was witnessed Sherman Genealogy 157 by his brothers Nathaniel and Josiah Sherman, was acknowledged Sept. 19, 1748, and recorded May 8, 1749, Volume 6, page 203. He is not described as cordwainer in any later deed. The New Milford land records contain about 55 instruments indexed under his name as grantee, the earliest of which (other than the above mentioned deed from his brother) is dated May 19, 1748, and the latest May 5, 1773. The instruments indexed to his name as grantor number about 84, dated from July 1, 1748, to June 16, 1769. The warranty deeds to him number about 39 and convey in the aggregate about 500 acres. There are also many deeds by him in an official capacity, such as Selectman or member of a Committee. In 1755 and later he was on a Com- mittee to lay out highways and 1755-1760 was a member of a Committee to dispose of lands directed to be sold for the pur- pose of supporting the ministry in New Milford. The records contain several layouts of highways and of these "donation" lands and of deeds by the Committee. The seal used by him on some deeds is the figure of a lion rampant. The following records seem worthy of note : By deed dated May 19, 1748, and recorded July 2, 1748, in Volume 6, page 107, Gamaliel Baldwin, of New Milford, and Rebecca Baldwin, his wife, and Sarah Baldwin, widow of Samuel Baldwin, for £1500 conveyed to Roger Sherman, of New Dille- way, Baldwin's home lot in New Milford, with dwelling house and barn, bounded South by Samuel Camp's home lot and West, North and East by highways, containing 17^ acres, also 70 acres lying West of the chestnut land lying East from Great Mount Tom and East from the highway to Mount Tom. By deed dated and acknowledged July 1, 1748 and recorded July 19, 1748, in Volume 6, page 114, by and between Roger Sher- man, of New Milford, and "his Hon^ mother Mehetabel Sher- man of the same place" in consideration of her "dower or thirds in the estate of her husband William Sherman of Stoughton * * * which she hath released and yielded up at the request for the use of the said Roger Sherman," he granted to her 6 acres of land part of the home lot purchased of Gamaliel Bald- win "and also the lower room in the East end of the dwelling house on said lot and one third part of the cellar and one third 158 Sherman Genealogy part of the chamber and garret in the west end of said house and one third part of all the orchards on said home lot with the privi- lege of a convenient way to pass and repass from said land to the Town Street" and also 20 acres of land part of the 40 acre division laid out to Gamaliel Terril, for her life "to be holden in such term as by the laws of this Colony of Connecticut widows hold their dowers or thirds in the estate of their deceased hus- bands." By deed dated Feb. 6, 1749/50, acknowledged Mar. 10, and recorded Mar. 17, 1749/50 in Volume 6, page 445, Mehetable Sherman, of New Milford, "for a valuable consideration," re- leased and quit claimed to Roger Sherman the twenty acres of land granted by him to her for life July 1, 1748. This deed was witnessed by James Battel and Joseph Hartwell and in the record is signed "Mehitabel" Sherman. By deed dated Mar. 5, 1749/50, and acknowledged and recorded Mar. 8, 1749/50, Volume 6, page 444, Roger Sherman, in consideration of part of Mehetabel Sherman's dower in the estate of William Sherman "which she hath released & yielded up at the request and for ye use of" said Roger, granted to her 15 acres of land lying East of the Wolfpit brook and 5 acres on the East side of East Aspetuck River, for her natural life, to be held as widows hold dower. This deed was witnessed by Joseph Hart- wel and James Battel. By deed dated Sept. 26, 1750, and acknowledged and recorded Sept. 27, 1750, in Volume 7, page 81, William Sherman of New Milford for £60 conveyed to Roger Sherman one "half part of a certain shop for merchant Dize in ye township of New Milford standing by the East side of the town Street opposite to Capt. Stephen Noble's dwelling house upon the front of that lott of land which I purchased of Ebinezer Pickit." By release dated Nov. 22, 1756, acknowledged Dec. 16, and recorded Dec. 17, 1756, in Volume 9, page 268, Mehetabel (Signed "Mehetebel" in record) Sherman, for value received, released and quit claimed to Roger Sherman "all the estate, right, title, interest, claim & demand whatsoever which I have in or to two parcels of land situate in said New Milford, the first parcel be- ing a home lot with a dwelling house & barn on it on the East side of the highway leading to Litchfield, bounded West by said high- o^ \<^^ •D ^ Sherman Genealogy 159 way, south by James Camp's home lot, North and East by high- way, the other tract being about forty four acres lying Eastward- ly from Israel Baldwin's dwelling house, bounded Northeasterly & Northwesterly by a highway. Southeasterly by Benajah Stone's land, Southwesterly by Mr. Andrews land, my right in said home lot being about one third part thereof & my right in the other piece or parcel of land being about fifteen acres." By deed dated June 13, 1761, acknowledged in New Milford June 30, and recorded July 8, 1761, in Volume 9, page 562, Roger Sherman, of New Milford, in consideration of £300, conveyed to Abel Hine, of New Milford "a certain tract or parcel of land situate in said New Milford with a dwelling house, shop and warehouse standing on it lying & being southeasterly from the Meeting House. Said land contains eight acres & an half.

He was Clerk of the Ecclesiastical Society from Dec. 2, 1753, until he moved to New Haven. He became Deacon on trial on Mar. 12, 1755, and Deacon on Mar. 17, 1757. The New Milford Church records are as follows: "March 12, 1755 att the same meeting Roger Sherman was chosen to ye office of a Deacon upon trial. Nathi. Taylor" 160 Sherman Genealogy "March 17, 1757, at a Church meeting regularly warned Roger Sherman Esqr. was EstabHshed Deacon of this Church Nathi. Taylor" The Rev. Nathaniel Taylor, B.A., Yale, 1745, M.A., was or- dained Minister at New Milford, June 29, 1748, and was Minister there until his death on Dec. 9, 1800. Roger Sherman prepared almanacs for the years 1750 to 1761 inclusive. These were published in New York, New London, New Haven and Boston. In some of the years they were pub- lished in two of these places. Very few copies of these are now in existence. Mr. Victor Hugo Paltsits, former New York State Historian, in 1907, published an interesting pamphlet which was read before the American Antiquarian Society at its semi-annual meeting in Boston, Apr. 17, 1907, and was entitled "The Alma- nacs of Roger Sherman, 1750-1761, Containing also Prose and Poetical Selections, and a Complete Collection of the 'Sayings' found in them." This pamphlet describes the almanacs, contains a bibliography of them and quotations from them with a list of those copies known to the author to be extant. He says : "During the past four years I have visited many libraries, in which I found thirty-seven Sherman almanacs, two of them being imperfect. I have also described de visu the only known copy of the first New York issue, of 1750, in the private library of Mr. E. Dwight Church, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The results of this investi- gation show that there were two distinct almanacs for 1750, one printed at New York and the other at Boston ; similarly two for 1751, but of which no copy of the New York edition is known to be extant; probably one of New York for 1752, but no certainty exists about it; two for 1753, and two for 1754, one of each printed at New York and New London; one of Boston for 1755 (two issues) ; one of New Haven for each of the years 1756, 1757, 1758 and probably also 1759, but of 1757 and 1759 no copies are known to be extant ; and Boston issues for 1760 and 1761." The New York Public Library has copies of the New York editions of 1753 and 1754, the Boston edition of 1755 (imperfect), the New Haven edition of 1756 and the Boston edition for 1761. The New York Hstorical Society has the New London edition of 1753, the Boston editions of 1755 and 1760.

The Long Island Historical Society has a copy of the New York edition of 1751. These almanacs contain poetical and prose quotations and some original poetry by the author. In the Boston Almanac of 1750, he says: "I have for several Years past for my own Amusement spent some of my leisure Hours in the Study of Mathematicks; not with any Intent to appear in publick: But at the Desire of many of my Friends and Acquaintance, I have been induced to calculate and publish the following ALMANACK for the Year 1750—1 have put in every Thing that I thought would be useful that could be contained in such contracted Limits : — I have taken much Care to perform the Calculations truly, not having the Help of any Ephemeris: And I would desire the Reader not to condemn it if it should in some Things differ from other Authors, until Ob- servations have determined which is in the wrong. — I need say nothing by way of Explanation of the following Pages, they being placed in the same Order that has been for many Years practised by the ingenious and celebrated Dr. Ames, with which you are well acquainted. — If this shall find Acceptance perhaps it may encourage me to serve my Country this Way for Time to come. New Milford, August 1, 1749. j^ SHERMAN " His New Haven Almanac for 1758 contains this statement: "I Have been informed that some good People in the Country, dislike my Almanack, because the observable Days of the Church of England are inserted in it, from thence, concluded that I am a Church-man; but to remove this Prejudice I would take leave to inform them, that altho' I have a high Esteem of the Church of England, consider'd as a reform'd Protestant Church and as agreeing with other Protestant Churches in the most important Matters of Faith : Yet I never could see any Thing so necessary or eligible in those Rites and other Circumstantials, wherein it differs from other Protestants Churches, as to be a sufficient In- ducement or Warrant for Separation from the Presbyterian or 162 Sherman Genealogy Congregational Church in Nczv England, to join with the Epis- copal Church; neither do I suppose the Observation of those Day[s] necessary; But as I take Liberty in these Matters to judge for myself, so I think it reasonable that Others should have the same Liberty ; and since my Design in this Performance is to serve the Publick, and the inserting of those observable Days does not croud out any Thing that might be more serviceable, I hope none of my Readers will be displeased with it for the Future. R. SHERMAN." The 1753 New London Almanac contains an article on the depreciated bills of credit. In 1752 he published a pamphlet on the evils and injustice of the then existing paper currency of the colonies and was always strongly opposed to such currency. He was admitted to the Bar of Litchfield County in Feb., 1754. The court record is as follows: "At an adjourned County Court holden at Litchfield within and for the County of Litchfield on the second Tuesday of Febru- ary A.D. 1754 present William Preston Chief Judge John Williams Saml Canfield Ebenezer Marsh Joseph Bird, Esqrs. Justices of Quorum Mr. Roger Sherman of New Milford in sd County appointed & sworn attorney." (Records of County Court, Vol. I, page 95.) At once he had a good practice. A memorandum book of his in his handwriting shows that at the Dec. T«^rm 1754, of the Litchfield County Court he appeared in 17 cases. The first case noted is Daniel and Joseph Beeman vs. Nathaniel Barnum. He appeared for plaintiffs for a review, collected "37/6," had a fee of £5 and "paid Adams 4." His brother, William, was plaintiff in two of these cases. During the year 1755 in the Superior and County Courts for Litchfield and Fairfield Counties, he had about 125 cases. An entry in this book in 1755, is "Rec'd back of Mr. Burr llcS Almanacks." This book contains also memoranda of Sherman Genealogy 163 distances between different places in New York Colony and in Canada, lists of names of officers of regiments, statements of numbers of votes cast for nomination of officers of Connecticut, tax assessment values of various towns, rates of pay of officers, statements of legal propositions and forms. He was appointed by the General Assembly in May, 1755, Justice of the Peace for Litchfield County, and reappointed each year until May, 1759, when he was appointed Justice of the Quorum, thus becoming a member of the County Court, and reappointed in May, 1760 and 1761. Deputy for New Milford to the General Assembly in May, 1755, and also in 1756 to and including March, and from May, 1758, to May, 1761. While in the Assembly he served on several important committees and was always a strong advocate for sound money. Prosperous himself, he generously aided his brothers Josiah and Nathaniel in College and in preparation for the ministry. In May, 1759, he was appointed "Commissary to reside at Albany, to receive, secure and forward supplies for the Connecticut troops and take into custody guns and other stores that shall be returned from the army and ship them to the com- missaries in the colony." In July, 1760, he opened a store in New Haven for the sale of provisions and general merchandise and also one in Wallingford, and continued in the business until Dec, 1772, when he retired and was succeeded by his son William. By deed dated Dec. 26, 1760, and recorded Dec. 27, 1760, in 23rd Ledger Book, page 97, for i220, Jabez Mix conveyed to Roger Sherman, Esq., of New Milford, a parcel of land in New Haven containing one acre and fifty three rods with a dwelling house, bounded Northeasterly by the street Southwestward of the Col- lege [now Chapel Street], Southeasterly by the President's Lot, Southwesterly by Mr. Jonathan At water's land and Northwester- ly, part by said Atwater's land, Mrs. Abigail Canner's land and Jabez Mix's land. At a City meeting of the City of New Haven held on Sept. 22, 1784 "Voted that the streets in the City of New Haven, be named as follows, viz. ; * * * The Street from Rhodes's Corner to Mr. Isaac Doolittle's corner, CHAPEL STREET" (The Connecticut Journal of Oct. 13, 1784.) Here he afterwards lived in this dwelling house and later in another house located west of it built by him and which is still standing, altered and used for stores. On June 30, 1761, he moved to New 164 Sherman Genealogy Haven, where he resided for the residue of his life. In 1761 he contributed i7-10s. towards building the Yale College Chapel. From 1765 until 1776 he served as Treasurer of the College, dur- ing several years of which period, he and Professor Naphtali Daggett, the acting President, were the only permanent officers of the College, of which he was always a staunch and serviceable friend and which in 1768 conferred on him the honorary degree of Master of Arts. The following is a copy of an interesting account of Mr. Sherman as Treasurer of the College for the year 1772, all in his hand writing, preserved in the State Archives, now in the Connecticut State Library.

Sherman Genealogy 165 Oct. 4, 1761, on a letter from the Church at New Milford, he was admitted to the White Haven Church, afterwards called North Church and now called United Church, and thereafter took an active part in its affairs until his death. His great grand- son Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin, of New Haven, former Judge of the Superior Court and Associate Justice and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Errors and Governor of Connecticut, placed in the United Church in New Haven, a tablet inscribed as follows: 1721 1793 In Memory of Roger Sherman A member of this church from 1761 until his death. He served this city as its first Mayor, Yale College as its Treasurer The Colony and State as an Assistant and a Judge of the Superior Court and the Supreme Court of Errors The United States as a Member of every Congress from 1774 to 1793 When he died a Senator. One of the Committee which drew the Declaration of Independence Of that which reported the Articles of Confederation Of the Convention that framed the National Constitution And a signer of these three charters of American Liberty. He was Justice of the peace for New Haven County, in May, 1765, and Justice of the Quorum in Oct., 1765, also Deputy for New Haven in Oct., 1764, May and Oct., 1765, and May, 1766. In Oct. of each of the years 1761 to 1765, inclusive, he was one of those nominated for election in the following May for Governor and Assistants and in May, 1766, he was elected Assistant and was nominated and elected to and held this office continuously until May, 1785. At the May, 1784, session, an Act was passed entitled "An Act for regulating the Appointment of the Superior Court." It, among other things, provided that thereafter no person should be capable of holding the office of Assistant or Delegate in the Congress of the United States and Judge of the Superior Court at the same time, but that this should not prevent any Judge appointed at that Assembly "from holding for one 166 Sherman Genealogy year from the first day of the session of the present Assembly any other office which he now holds or to which he may now stand elected." It also provided that "the Judges of the Superior Court shall hereafter hold their Offices during the Pleasure of the Gen- eral Assembly." He was then Assistant, Delegate in Congress and Judge of the Superior Court as well as Mayor of New Haven. He preferred to retain the office of Judge and was not again elected Assistant or Delegate. He was elected or appointed Judge of the Superior Court by the General Assembly each year beginning May, 1766, and after May, 1784, continued to hold of- fice "during the pleasure of the General Assembly" until in Feb., 1789, he resigned to become Representative in Congress. While upon the bench he was noted for the brevity, clearness and soundness of his opinions. When New Haven became a City in 1784, and while he was absent in Congress, he was elected its first Mayor on Feb. 10, 1784, on the first ballot, receiving 125 votes, a majority of one over Thomas Howell, 102 votes, and Thomas Darling, 22 votes. President Stiles, in his diary Vol. HI page 110, says the thermometer registered 10 degrees below zero on this day. He continued in the office until his death, the charter enacted Jan. 8, 1784, providing that the City should choose a Mayor "who shall hold his office during the pleasure of the Gen- eral Assembly." One of his official acts as Mayor was the laying of the foundation stone of a bridge over the Quinnipiack River on June 2, 1791. The stone was marked "Erected May 3pt A.D. M.DCC. XCI and XV of Amer. Independ. Hon Roger Sherman Mayor" He also officiated as Mayor on Apr. 15, 1793, at the laying of the corner stone of South College, with President Ezra Stiles. This was the seventh College building erected and was always a favorite dormitory because of its position next to Chapel Street. It was torn down in 1893. This occasion was about the last of his public appearances as his final illness began a few weeks later. Sherman Genealogy 167 In May, 1766, he was one of a Committee of the Connecticut General Assembly to assist the Governor in preparing an ad- dress to the King expressing satisfaction and thanks for the re- peal of the Stamp Act. In Aug., 1774, the Committee of Cor- respondence of the House of Representatives of Connecticut, pur- suant to power given to it by the House, appointed him a delegate from Connecticut to the first Continental Congress, which met at Philadelphia, on Sept. 5, 1774. The following is a copy of his credentials : "In the House of Representatives of the Colony of Connecticut Nov. 3'^ Dom. 1774. This House proceeded to nominate choose and appoint Delegates to attend the General Congress to be holden at Philadelphia on the 10*^ day of May next * * * And made Choice of the Hon.b'^ Eliphalet Dyer & Roger Sherman Esq''^ Silas Deane, Titus Hosmer & Jonathan Sturgess, Esq''* to be their Delegates — any Three of Whom, are authorized and empowered to Attend said Congress in behalf of this Colony, to join, consult & advise with the Delegates of the other Colonies in British America on proper Measures for advancing the best good of the Colonies. W"^ Williams, Speaker. A true Copy extracted from the Journal of the House Attested Rich^ Law, Qerk" He was present on the first day and attended its sessions which ended on Oct. 26, 1774. On Sept. 6, 1774, the Congress "Resolved Unan : That a Committee be appointed to State the rights of the Colonies in general, the several instances in which these rights are violated or infringed, and the means most proper to be pursued for obtaining a restoration of them." On Sept. 7, 1774, this Committee, consisting of two delegates from each of the eleven colonies represented, including Roger Sherman, was appointed. This Congress, among other things, adopted the Articles of Association or non importation agreement, dated Oct. 20, 1774, and The Address to the King dated Oct. 26, 1774, each of which was signed by the delegates, including Mr. Sherman. The address to the King was in duplicate. One duplicate is in the Museum of the Public Record Office in London. Among his papers is a board bill of 1774 as follows: 168 Sherman Genealogy "Mr. Roger Sherman to Sarah Chesman, Dr. To your board eight weeks @ 30/pr week is £12 — — To your part of the wine 2 — 12 — 6 To your servant's board @ 12/ Ditto A — 16 il9— 8—8 Phila octb-- y^ 26 = 1774 Recvd the above account in full Sarah Chesman" He was delegate in The Continental Congress continuously by annual appointment of the General Assembly from Sept., 1774, to and including Nov., 1781. He was not appointed for 1782 when there were 12 candidates for the office, but was appointed on Oct. 13, 1783, for another year, thus serving eight years. His credentials for 1776 read as follows : "At a General Assembly of the Governor and Company, of the English Colony of Connecticut, in New England in America, holden at New Haven (in said Colony) on the second Thursday of October Anno Dom.*^° 1775.

They want information, and are constantly liable to be misled." Favored election by the State legislatures. Opposed giving the general government legislative power in all cases where the States are not competent. Legislature should appoint Executive, who should be dependent on it. Independence of the Executive on Legislature was very essence of tyranny. Executive should be eligible for reelection. Legislature should have power to remove Executive at pleasure. Executive should not have absolute veto. Popular ratification of the Constitution unnecessary. Opposed inferior federal courts. Senators should be appointed by State legislatures. Proposed and successfully advocated the proposi- tion that the proportion of suffrage in the first branch should be according to the respective numbers of free inhabitants and that in the second branch or Senate each state should have one vote and no more, otherwise a few large states will rule the rest. Fre- quent elections are necessary to preserve the good behavior of rulers. Favored term of four or six years for Senators. Sec- onded Franklin's motion to have prayer each morning. The num- ber of people the best rule for measuring wealth as well as rep- resentation. Favored election of judges by the Senate. Disap- proved of judges meddling in politics and parties. Thought it wrong to tax exports. The government should not be trusted with the power of regulating trade in general. Disapproved of slave trade. Thought good sense of the several states would by degrees complete the abolition of slavery. Objected to taxing slaves as acknowledging man to be property. Favored removal of judges by the Executive on application of the Senate and House of Representatives. Wished to crush paper money. To require more than a majority to decide a question is always em- barrassing. Liked a reasonable restriction on the number and continuance of an Army in time of peace. Proposed the choice of President by the House of Representatives, if no choice by Electors. Regarded the Supreme Court as improper to try the 178 Sherman Genealogy President, because the Judges would be appointed by him. Pro- posed provision that Congress may propose amendments to the Constitution to be approved by the States. Thought an address to the people about the Constitution unnecessary and improper. The power of the United States to regulate trade being supreme, can control interference of the State regulations. Proposed that no State shall, without its consent, be deprived of its equal suf- frage in the Senate. The Constitution was signed Sept. 17, 1787. He was one of the two members from New Haven (elected Nov. 12, 1787) of the Convention of Connecticut at Hartford, which ratified the Constitution on Jan. 9, 1788, and earnestly ad- vocated the ratification. His colleague was Pierpont Edwards. In Jan., 1789, the Connecticut Assembly chose Mr. Sherman a Representative in the first Congress, and in Feb., 1789, he re- signed as Judge of the Superior Court which office he had held continuously since May, 1766. He served as Representative dur- ing the first Congress from Mar., 1789, to Mar., 1791. Congress assembled in New York on Mar. 4, 1789. Mr. Sherman attended as a Representative from Connecticut on Mar. 5, 1789, and was very faithful in his attendance through all the sessions until Mar., 1791. While in New York he lodged at No. 59 Water Street. He was present at the inauguration of Washington as President on Apr. 30, 1789, and stood by him when at Federal Hall he took the oath of office. The well-known painting of this scene by Chappel shows him with others standing about the President. He had a very important part in all the proceedings. The first act of the House after organizing, was on Apr. 3. 1789, to appoint a Committee of eleven of which Mr. Sherman was one, to prepare ^nd report standing rules and orders of procedure for the House. He was also a member of the second Committee appointed by the House, of five members, to confer with a Committee of the Senate to prepare rules to govern the two houses in cases of conference. His other Committees were : To prepare bills to regulate the col- lection of imposts and tonnage ; On what style or titles it would be proper to annex to the office of President and Vice-President, if any, other than those given in the Constitution, which Com- mittee reported that it was not proper to annex any other titles ; On time and place of administering oath to the President and the person by whom it should be administered ; To prepare an ad- Sherman Genealogy 179 dress of congratulation to President Washington after delivery of his inaugural speech ; On bill to regulate collection of duties ; Of one from each state to consider and prepare proposed amend- ments to the Constitution ; Of three, to prepare a proper arrange- ment of and introduction to the articles of amendment as agreed to by the House; Of three managers of conference with Senate on proposed constitutional amendments ; Of three to request Presi- dent to recommend to the people a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording an opportunity peaceably to establish a Constitution of Government for their safety and happiness. At the beginning of the second session on Jan. 7, 1790: On Committee of three to report on dis- position of matters pending and undetermined in last session ; On actual enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States; Chairman of committee of four to confer with Committee of Senate on unfinished business of last session ; On Jan. 24, he re- ported that such business should be regarded as not having been passed upon and report was agreed to by both houses ; Standing Committee of seven on elections ; Of three on copyright ; On uni- form Rule of naturalization ; On Robert Morris's conduct and accounts as Superintendent of Finances; On prohibiting for- eigners from carrying commodities of this Continent to any port where citizens of the United States are prohibited from carrying them; On funding debt and supporting public credit; On rules for House and regulations between two houses ; On plan for pay- ment of interest of the debts of the United States ; On duties on goods imported in domestic and foreign vessels ; On establishing a Post Office and Post Roads ; On amendment of act to promote the progress of the useful arts ; On further encouragement of navigation; On manner of renewing lost evidences of debt of the United States; On Loan Office certificates; On repeal of act rat- ing Rix dollars of Denmark at one hundred cents ; On continuing temporary establishment of the Post Office. Mr. Sherman was present practically continuously in the House during each of the three sessions of the First Congress except when absent on leave for two short intervals. The journal of the House records 110 roll calls during the three sessions and Mr. Sherman is rec- orded as voting on all but three of these calls. Two of them were 180 Sherman Genealogy while he was absent on leave. In May, 1791, The General As- sembly appointed him United States Senator in place of William Samuel Johnson, who was also President of Columbia College and resigned as Senator from Connecticut because Congress was to sit in Philadelphia. Mr. Sherman held the office of Senator as well as that of Mayor of New Haven, until his death. The fol- lowing is a copy of his credentials as Senator: "STATE OF CONNECTICUT At a General Assembly of the State of Connecticut holden at Hartford on the second Thursday of May A Dom 1791 This Assembly appoint the Honorable Roger Sherman Esquire Senator for this State in the Congress of the United State in room of the Honorable William Samuel Johnson Esquire resigned.

Congress, June 13tM791 Recorded Fol : 41" He returned to New Haven on Mar. 9, 1793. (Literary Diary of Ezra Stiles, Vol. HI, p. 487.) Apr. 15, 1793, the foundation or corner stone of South Col- lege was laid, Mr. Sherman, as Mayor, taking part in the cere- monies which were conducted by President Ezra Stiles. The stone was inscribed as follows : EZRA STILES COLL. YAL. PR^S : PRIMVM LAPIDEM POSVIT ACAD^ COND^ 93^^° APR. 15, 1793. This was probably his last public appearance. He was taken ill about the middle of May and at 6:40 p. m. on Tuesday, July 23, 1793, died at his house on Chapel Street. President Stiles, in his diary, says of him: "He was exemplary for piety and serious religion * * * f^r from all enthusiasm calm sedate and ever discerning and judicious. He went thro' all the grades of public life and grew in them all and filled every office with propriety, ability and tho' not with showy brilliancy, yet with that dignity which arises from doing everything perfectly right. * * * He was an extraordinary man. A venerable uncorrupted patriot." His funeral was on Thursday, July 25, 1793. President Stiles prayed at the house before the funeral. A procession was formed with the students and tutors of Yale at its head, then two City Sheriffs, City officers, the Common Council, Aldermen, two Jus- tices, two members of Congress, a Judge of the Superior Court, the Clergy eight ministers, bearers of the body (no pall bearers), mourners and a large concourse of citizens. It proceeded to the North Church where Dr. Jonathan Edwards preached a sermon from the text Psalm 46-1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very 182 Sherman Genealogy present help in trouble." The procession then moved to the grave on the Green in the old cemetery then in the rear of Center Church. Dr. James Dana spoke at the grave. His remains were removed to the Grove Street Cemetery about 1821, when the old cemetery was abandoned. It is well to repeat what his friend and contemporary Dr. Ed- wards, in his sermon said of Mr. Sherman : "He was not favored with a public education, or even with a private tutor. His su- perior improvements arose from his superior genius, from his thirst for knowledge and from his personal exertions and inde- fatigable industry in the pursuit of it. By these he attained to a very considerable share of knowledge in general, particularly in his own native language, in logic, geography, mathematics, the general principles of philosophy, history, theology and above all in law and politics. These last were his favorite studies and in these he excelled." "His person was tall, unusually erect and well proportioned, and his countenance agreeable and manly. His abilities were remarkable, not briliant, but solid, penetrating and capable of deep and long investigation. In such investigation he was greatly assisted by his patient and unremitting application and perseverance." "But his proper lien was politics. For use- fulness and excellence in this line, he was qualified, not only by his acute discernment and sound judgment, but especially by his knowledge of human nature. He had a happy talent of judging what was feasible and what was not feasible, or what men would bear and what they would not bear in government. And he had a rare talent of prudence or of timing and adapting his measures to the attainment of his end. By this talent, by his perseverance and his indefatigable application, together with his general good sense and known integrity, he seldom failed of carrying any point in government which he undertook and which he esteemed im- portant to the public good." "To have sustained so many and so important public offices, and to have uniformly sustained them with honor and reputation ; to have maintained an amiable charac- ter in every private relation ; to have been an ornament to Chris- tianity and to have died in a good old age, in the full possession of all his honors and of his powers both of body and mind, is a very rare attainment and a very happy juncture of circum- stances." Sherman Genealogy 183 "The Connecticut Gazette" of New London, issued August 8, 1793, has an obituary notice of Mr. Sherman in which appears a brief mention of his life and the offices he held. It said: "It is worthy of remark, that though he sustained so many offices in the civil government both of the State and of the United States, to all which he was promoted by the free suffrages of his fellow citizens, and in most of which he could not, without a new election, continue longer than a year, and in the rest not longer than two, three or four years ; and although for all those offices there were, as there always are in popular governments, many competitors at every election, yet Mr. Sherman was never re- moved from any of them, but by promotion or by act of legisla- ture requiring rotation, or rendering the offices incompatible with each other. Nor with the restriction just mentioned, did he ever lose his election to any office to which he had once been elected, excepting his election as a representative of the town in the Gen- eral Assembly; which office we all know is almost constantly shifting. This shows, to how great a degree, and how invariably he possessed the confidence of his fellow citizens. They found by long experience, that both his abilities and his integrity merited their confidence. To have been constantly employed in the public service for forty-eight years, to have sustained so many and so important public offices, and to have sustained them all with honor and reputation ; to have maintained an amiable character in every private relation ; to have been from early youth an ornament to Christianity, and to have died in a good old age, in the full posses- sion of all his honours, and of his powers both of body and mind, is a rare attainment, and as to him at least, an happy juncture of circumstances." He was very temperate in his habits and always vigorous and active. Professor Denison Olmsted of Yale College, said of him : "He had enjoyed almost uninterrupted health through life, and at the age of seventy was able to mount his horse with the agility of youth, and to ride thirty or forty miles without fatigue." (Boutell's Life of Roger Sherman, p. 281.) In a letter dated Hartford, Aug. 13, 1793, from Mrs. Chaun- cey Goodrich, to her brother, Frederick Wolcott, she says : "It is supposed that Mr. Sherman and Gen. Wolcott brought on their 184 Sherman Genealogy disorders by too great Temperance in living." ("Memorial of Henry Wolcott," 1881, p. 331.) The sketch of him in Sanderson's "Biography of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence," ed. 1831, says: "Roger Sher- man may be classed among those extraordinary men, who sur- mounting the disadvantages of education, have risen to eminence through the superiority of their genius." (Vol. 2, page 3.) Upon his tombstone is this inscription, probably written by Simeon Baldwin aided by Jeremiah Evarts : In Memory of The Hon. ROGER SHERMAN, Efq^ mayor of the city of New Haven and fenator of the United States He was born at Newtown* in Maffachufetts April 19th 1721 and died at New-Haven July 23^ A D 1793 aged LXXII Poffeffed of a ftrong clear penetrating Mind and fingular perfeverance he became the felf-taught Scholar, eminent for Jurifprudence and Policy.

Former Ambassador James Bryce, now Viscount Bryce, wrote of him as follows : "British Embassy, Washington, March 6, 1913. Dear Mr. Sherman: I am just starting for Canada and fear I have not time to answer your letter properly, but I may say that I am very inter- ested to hear of what you are doing about your distinguished ancestor, Roger Sherman. I have always looked upon him as one of the most remarkable characters in the great Convention of 1787-8. He was one of those men who showed that fine quality which the New England people of the 18th century had, strong mother wit, which was able to overcome the disadvantages of want of an academic literary education, and a thorough familiar- 186 Sherman Genealogy ity with the principles and practice of self-government, as well as an active public spirit and a powerful legal intellect. Your an- cestor's part in the Convention was a very useful and honourable one and more than once he contributed eminently opportune and penetrating observations which were of great value in the dis- cussions. Believe me, Very truly yours, James Bryce. P. S. I am very glad to hear that you are writing an account of your ancestor and shall look forward with great interest to its appearance in order that I may extend my knowledge of his character and career. T. T. Sherman, Esq." The following are some of his ideas and views on public questions. In a letter dated Apr. 30, 1772, he expressed the opinion that "It was a fundamental principle in the British Con- stitution, and I think must be in every free State, that no laws bind the people but such as they consent to be governed by, there- fore so far as the people of the Colonies are bound by laws made without their consent, they must be in a state of slavery or abso- lute subjection to the will of others : if this right belongs to the people of the Colonies, why should they not claim it and enjoy it? * * * Have not each Colony distinct and complete powers of legislation for all the purposes of public government, and are they in any proper sense subordinate to the Legislature of Great Britain tho' subject to the same King?" John Adams, in his diary on Aug. 17, 1774, records Mr. Sherman as saying that "the Par- liament of Great Britain had authority to make laws for Amer- ica in no case whatever" and Mr. Adams, on Sept. 8, 1774, re- ports Mr. Sherman as having said in a speech in Congress : "The Colonies not bound to the King or country by the act of settle- ment, but by their consent to it. There is no other legislature over the Colonies but their respective assemblies." He was op- posed to appointment of a Bishop of the Church of England for America unless by act of Parliament such Bishop be divested of the judicial and other civil powers annexed to that office by the common law of England, and have no authority over or power to Sherman Genealogy 187 affect the civil or religious interests of other denominations. On Aug. 1, 1776, in Congress, debating on the Articles of Confedera- tion, he stated that they ought not to vote according to numbers, that they were representatives of States, not individuals, that the votes should be taken two ways, by Colonies and by individuals, and there should be a majority of both. This proposition was similar to the compromise plan he proposed and carried through in the Constitutional Convention eleven years later in 1787. He advocated a tariff or impost on foreign importations, saying in 1784: "Raising money by imposts takes it at the fountain and the consumer pays it insensibly and without murmuring." In a letter to Oliver Wolcott, dated May 21, 1777, he said: "I think it dangerous to admit citizens not connected with the army to be tried by a Court Martial." In Congress he opposed a proposition to amend the Constitution so as to authorize the people to in- struct their representatives, saying: "I think, when the people have chosen a representative, it is his duty to meet others from the different parts of the union, and consult and agree with them to such acts as are for the general benefit of the whole commun- ity. If they were to be guided by instructions, there would be no use in deliberation, all that a man would have to do would be to produce his instructions and lay them on the table, and let them speak for him." If his instructions "were contrary to the con- viction of his own mind, he must be bound by every principle of justice to disregard them." From its beginning, he had firm confidence in the success and durability of the Government. In the first Congress, he proposed in the House of Representatives, and secured the insertion in the tenth proposed amendment to the Constitution of the final words "or to the people." This amendment as adopted is: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states, respectively, or to the people." In this Congress he also caused the cent to be brought into use in the financial system in place of ninetieths of a dollar. He proposed that in filling in the blanks in the tariff bill which had been reported, they should begin with rum and tax it fifteen cents a gallon. He said he preferred to use the term cent for its convenience, as ten made a dime and ten dimes a dollar. (S. E. Baldwin's New Milford Conn, bi-centennial address. Annals of 188 Sherman Genealogy Congress 1, p. 125.) He had deep religious convictions and liked to discuss and write about theological doctrines. Some of his correspondence with the Rev. Justus Mitchell and other divines on matters of religious belief is still extant. This includes a long carefully written letter dated at New York, June 28, 1790, while he was attending Congress, to the Rev. Samuel Hopkins, in which Mr. Sherman says he has read a book of Mr. Hopkins on the nature of true holiness and approves of the sentiments except in two points of which he does not approve, namely : "the nature of 'self love' and 'that it is the duty of a person to be willing to give up his eternal interest for the glory of God." He defines self love "to be a desire of one's own happiness or a regard to one's own in- terest" which may be exercised consistently with disinterested love to others. As to the other point, he thinks it is not re- quired in the Divine law or in the Gospel. The most important official services of Mr. Sherman were: 1745-1752 — Surveyor New Haven County. 1752-1758 — Surveyor Litchfield County. 1754, February — Admitted to the Bar of Litchfield County. 1755-1759 — Justice of the Peace Litchfield County. 1755-1756; 1758-1761— Deputy for New Milford to General As- sembly. 1759-1761 — Justice of Quorum (County Court) for Litchfield County. 1759 — Commisary of Supplies for Connecticut at Albany, N. Y. 1760-1772 — In mercantile business in New Haven. 1765-1776 — Treasurer of Yale College. 1764-1766 — Deputy for New Haven to General Assembly. 1765, May — Justice of the Peace New Haven County. 1765, October — Justice of the Quorum New Haven County. 1766-1785 — Assistant of Connecticut. 1766-1789 — Judge of Superior Court of Connecticut. 1768 — Received degree of Master of Arts from Yale College. 1774-1781 and 178^1 — Delegate to Continental Congress. 1774 — Signed Articles of Association, 1774 — Signed Address to the King. 1776 — Signed Declaration of Independence.

The State of Connecticut had two statues of Roger Sherman executed by C. B. Ives about 1870. One of them was given to the United States and stands in Statuary Hall in the Capitol, and the other is in the State Capitol at Hartford. An oil portrait of him was painted by Ralph Earle in 1775. It is life-size and represents him seated in a chair. This portrait is interesting and valuable because it was painted the year before the signing of The Declaration of Independence, when he was 54 years old. It is probably the one listed in the inventory of his estate at a value of il-4 shillings. During his life and until after the death of his son Roger in 1856, it was kept in the Sherman house on Chapel Street, New Haven. It became the property of his grand-daughter Martha, Mrs. Henry White. About 1868 it was repaired in Boston and transferred to a new canvas. After this it was kept in Mrs. White's residence, 258 Church Street, New Haven, until after her death in 1888. She bequeathed it to her son Roger Sherman White, and it was removed to Number 87 Trumbull Street, New Haven, the residence then of Charles A. White and now of Roger Sherman White, where it remained un- til in January, 1918, he presented it to Yale University. The President and Fellows of Yale University on Jan. 21, 1918, 190 Sherman Genealogy adopted a resolution as follows : "Voted to extend the thanks of the University to Roger Sherman White for the gift of a portrait of his great-grand- father, Roger Sherman, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and Treasurer of Yale College from 1766 to 1776, painted by Ralph Earle." In Apr.- May, 1918, it was taken to New York City and restored and renovated by Mr. H. A. Hammond Smith, expert restorer, and now hangs in the Yale University Memorial Dining Hall. Sev- eral copies of it have been painted, one of them by William Hicks, for the Hon. William M. Evarts, who presented it to Inde- pendence Hall in Philadelphia. It has also been etched and pho- tographed. Col. John Trumbull also painted Mr. Sherman later in life, about 1791, for his painting "The Declaration of Inde- pendence" which is in the Yale University Art Gallery, an en- largement of which by Trumbull is in the rotunda of the Capitol at W^ashington, and a later replica is in The Wadsworth Athe- naeum at Hartford, Conn. These are the only portraits of Mr. Sherman now known to have been painted from life. In the life of John Trumbull by Prof. John Ferguson Weir, N.A. ; M.A., Yale, 1871, for many years Director of the Yale School of Fine Arts, the author says of the picture of The Declaration of Independence — "The small picture now in Yale University is a priceless possession. Historically it is a unique pictorial record of that great event in the sense of its being the original picture from which the larger reproductions were copied, and was executed when Trumbull was at the height of his powers. The large picture in the Capitol at Washington, and the later replica in the Wadsworth Athenaeum at Hartford, are as if executed by another hand." Trumbull began studies for this pic- ture in 1791, and 36 of the portraits in it were painted from life. Trumbull says of it that he "made the whole committee of five [who drafted the Declaration] advance to the table of the presi- dent to make their report, instead of having the chairman rise in his place for the purpose." Prof. Weir quotes John Durand, the translator of Taine's works on art, as saying: "The portraits of Richard Henry Lee, George Clinton, Samuel Adams, Robert Mor- ris, George Clymer (the smallest and an inimitable head) with those of the group standing before Hancock — John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert R. Livingston, Jefferson and Franklin — are Sherman Genealogy 191 comparable to the finest limning of Meissonier." Mrs. George Dupont Pratt, of New York, who was Helen Deming Sherman, a great-great-grand-daughter of Hon. Roger, has an ambrotype of a painting or drawing of him which may have been the portrait which belonged to her grand-father Major Charles Sherman and was bequeathed by him to his son Charles. It is very like and may have been a copy of his portrait in The Declaration of In- dependence picture or it may have been an original by Trumbull. A photograph of a similar portrait in an oval frame belonged to his grandson, the late Frederick R. Sherman. This portrait may have been the one bequeathed by the will of Major Charles Sherman. In the Historical Society of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, is a painting called "The Congress Voting Independence." It is a canvas 26>< x 19 inches, and wa* painted in 1788 in part by Rob- ert Edge Pine, an accomplished English artist, who died in 1788 before completing it, and was finished by Edward Savage, a noted painter and engraver. An account of this picture by the late Charles Henry Hart, the great expert on paintings, is in Vol. 29 (1905) of "The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biog- raphy." The painting was in the old Boston Museum for many years until 1892, when Mr. Hart bought it. He was of opinion that the composition and details of the picture are by Pine "painted in the very room in which the event sought to be commemorated was enacted which in Pine's time had not been changed or altered from what it was in 1776, and giving its lines with the exactness of an architectural drawing. * * * This painting was made use of in the recent restoration of Independence Hall to its origi- nal condition." Apparently, Mr. Hart thought that the central group includ- ing Jefiferson, Sherman, John Adams and Franklin was the work of Pine and said "it is beautiful and most artistic." See also an article by Mr. Hart on Edward Savage in "Proceedings of Massachusetts Historical Society," January, 1905, 2nd Series, Vol. 19. Mrs. Timothy Dwight, of New Haven, has an oil por- trait of Mr. Sherman made for her by Professor Weir from the Trumbull painting of The Declaration of Independence. It shows him with a quill pen in his right hand. Mr. Sherman at his death had an emblazonment of Arms of the Sherman family, the same 192 Sherman Genealogy as the Arms of the Yaxley Shermans. This is now owned by his great-grand-son Thomas T. Sherman. A reproduction of it with- out the colors is the frontispiece of this book. His sword is now owned by his great-great-grand-daghter, Mrs. William H. L. Edwards, of New York City. The following is a copy of the will of Hon. Roger Sherman, dated Augst 6, 1792: 'T, Roger Sherman of the City and County of New Haven in the State of Connecticut being in health of body and of sound mind and memory do make this my last will and testament in the following manner and form viz First I give and bequeath to Rebekah my well beloved wife three hun- dred pounds lawful money to be paid in Gold or Silver or the value there- of in any estate real or personal that I shall be possessed of in my own right at the time of my decease not herein otherwise especially disposed of, at her election.

All of these entries are in Hon. Roger Sherman's handwriting. He left very few writings including some letters many of which have been published. Unfortunately he left nothing of an autobiographical nature. He was so much absorbed in the af- fairs of the public and of other persons that he had no thought of himself or possible posthumous fame. As his grandson Senator George F. Hoar said, "He was content to cause great things to be done for his country and cared nothing for the pride and glory of hiving done them" (Autobiography of Seventy Years, Vol. 1, p. 8). It would be interesting to learn from him about his early years and education, his parents and relatives and other 198 Sherman Genealogy details of his active and important life. It is wonderful how he held so many offices, attended to all their duties and brought up his large family besides carrying on a mercantile business for several years. In one of his ledgers he began "An account of the family of Sherman." In this he wrote briefly only about the family of Rev. John Sherman of Watertown and his brother Sam- uel and Samuel's children. Few of his letters to his family exist. The following are copies of two of them written to his son Roger, now in possession of Mr. Roger S. Warner. "Philadelphia December 29, 1791. Roger Sherman, Jimior, New Haven Dear Son I want to be informed what Supplies of provisions you have received from the Farm and from Barnabas Baldwin, and whether you want any money Sent home for family supplies — Whether Mr. Williams has paid any or what prospect there is of receiving any money from him — Whether you have been to Hartford and took out the funded Securities. Have you paid any Money to Deacon Bishop? I expect to pay £40 New York money to T. Pearsall & Son & 24i to J. Glover Next week and can Send a bank bill home if necessary. I want to know how Cloe and the rest of the family do, & whether Minot continued his school & how much it yields him per Quarter. I am in health. Yours &c Roger Sherman" "New Haven, Sept. 13th, 1792 Mr. Roger Sherman, Junior Litchfield Dear Son I received your letter of the 7th Instant, and shall send the Plorse and money as you requested. Mr. Edwards will set out on Saturday or Monday Next. We had a good season for Com- mencement and a Numerous Assembly — Young Mr. Emerson whom you saw at Concord was here. He is now a Settled Min- ister at Harvard about 14 miles from Concord — Chloe is come < Sherman Genealogy 199 home well — I this day received a letter from Isaac who is also well — John has taken a part of the Farm and resides there, has taken a Chamber & boards with Mr. Smith — and they are all well suited — Minot made a good oration on the Stages — He has got a good School at Windsor — where he can receive his pay quarterly — Josiah Sherman was at Commencement. He has been to New York and is doing well in trade at Northampton. Yours &c Roger Sherman" No comprehensive or adequate biography of him has been written. "The life of Roger Sherman," by Hon. Lewis Henry Boutell, 1896, is the most complete. This incorrectly states his early ancestry. Senator George Frisbie Hoar gathered material with the intention of preparing a biography, but finding himself unable to do so, induced Mr. Boutell to write his book largely from Senator Hoar's material. In Senator Hoar's "Autobiog- raphy of Seventy Years" is a chapter on "Roger Sherman and His Family" containing a brief sketch of Mr. Sherman's charac- ter and services. In Sanderson's "Biography of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence," 1823, there is a short biography of Roger Sherman written by Robert Wain, Jr., of Philadelphia aided by Gov. Roger S. Baldwin, Judge John Trumbull and Jere- miah Evarts. In the "New Haven Morning Courier," of July, 1843, appeared a series of articles on Roger Sherman of a bio- graphical and eulogistic nature. In a letter written in 1875, Mr. Henry White states that these articles were written by Henry Stevens, B.A., Yale, 1843, M.A., afterwards of London, Eng- land, for many years a bookseller and a Fellow of the London Society of Antiquaries, who died in 1886. There are also articles on Roger Sherman in biographical dictionaries. On June 17, 1907, at New Milford, Conn., at the bi-centennial celebration of the founding of the town, his great-grandson Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin, then Chief Justice of The Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut, delivered an address on Roger Sherman, most in- teresting, able and instructive. He said of him, among other things : "A plain country lad, a hard-working journeyman at his trade, a busy surveyor, a sagacious selectman, a shrewd store- keeper, a hard-headed lawyer, an industrious judge, he had quali- 200 Sherman Genealogy ties not of a kind that shine in polite society, but of a kind never- theless that count in life, in every position which a man may be called to fill. * * * * j^g stood for justice and truth ; he stood for duty, quietly, daily, untiringly done, in whatever sta- tion, high or low, God may see fit to place us."

I was appointed by the Mass"^ Province. Business of almost every kind was entirely stagnated in this Prov- ince by reason of the Publick difficulties which rendered it al- most impossible to obtain, any employment sufficient to procure a maintenance, was an inducement for me to enter the Army; but far from being the only one. The goodness of the cause a desire of being an useful Member of society and of serving my Country — a thirst for Glory, real glory, were the grand incentives. I hope by the assistance of the Deity I shall be enabled to serve every useful End, never to reflect dishonor upon the Family or myself. The distance being so great the necessity of being ex- peditious in recruiting rendered it almost impossible to have con- sulted with you on the affair. I am so far from thinking the advice of the experienced disadvantageous to youth, that I ap- prehend it to be the incumbent duty of young Men to consult and advise with those who are acquainted with the various manovres of Mankind, and especially with a kind indulgent Parent, who always consults the good of his Children. The Questions you proposed I shall answer with Pleasure. I am stationed at Brook- line Fort at Sewalls Point, situated between Cambridge and Rox- bury — on Charles River. We have no great prospect of a Battle at present. They will never presume without a very considerable Reinforcement to attempt to force our lines which are very strong; nor we theirs. The Army is very healthy, in fine spirits, resolute in the cause. We have no certain News from the British Troops — a few deserters now and then, but their relations are to be but little depended on. The people in Boston have been and are still in a very disagreeable situation. They have liberty to come out but they come out very slow, for a few Boats pass a day and those over Winipinet Ferry only. The Generals are well. We have various accounts from England but no Intelligence to be depended on. Nothing remarkable has happened here of late. Judges nor Justices are appointed. But the Assembly in their next Session I understand are a going to appoint them. The Council at present are settling the Militia of the Province. I should esteem it a great favor to be informed as soon as possible of the Plan preferred by the Continental Congress for raising troops for the ensuing Campaign — Whether I could obtain the command of a regiment if I could raise one. There are a Num- 202 Sherman Genealogy ber of things I stand in great need of which cannot easily be pro- cured here but at a very extravagant price — should be glad you v^ould furnish me with a genteel Hanger, a yard an half of super- fine scarlet Broad cloth, with suitable Trimmings — for a Coat of Uniform & a Piece Holland. I am in good health, very much pleased with a Military Life, tho' attended with many inconveni- ences. I shall for the future take every opportunity of writing and when anything of importance occurs, shall endeavour to give the earliest intelligence I am Sir Your most dutiful Son Isaac Sherman N. B. I should be glad to know what number of Men a Regi- ment will consist of the ensuing Campaign. Mr. Seevar the Bearer of this will tarry some days in Philadelphia he is after Goods. You may if agreeable have an opportunity of sending the Things I wrote for with his and they will be conveyed with safety to me. Mr. Sevar will purchase the quantity of Goods he pro- poses at N York, these things may be obtained there and sent with his if equally agreeable to you. To the Honble Roger Sherman Esqr. at Philadelphia favored by Mr. Sevar" Near the end of his life he wrote as follows : "I entered the army immediately after the battle of Lex- ington, and continued therein till sometime after the pre- liminary articles of treaty were announced in the United States. I was at the siege of Boston — with General Wash- ington at the taking of the Germans at Trenton — com- manded the advance guard into Princeton on the third of January 1777, — at the battle of Monmouth with Gen- eral Wayne in the taking of Stony Point, — and many other actions and skirmishes in my power to enumerate. I underwent great hardships, privations and dangers. At White Marsh in the close of the year 1777, I was placed in front of the American Army for 17 days, and was twice in Sherman Genealogy 203 action, in which nearly 120 brave Americans lost their lives under my command." Took part in many important engagements; commended to "Congress by General Wayne. An original member of The So- ciety of the Cincinnati of Connecticut. In 1785 elected by Con- gress Surveyor of Western lands. July 18, 1785 "Congress pro- ceeded to the election of a surveyor from Connecticut, and the ballots being taken, Mr. Isaac Sherman was elected, having been previously nominated by the delegates of that state." (Proceed- ings of Continental Congress.) Resided in Philadelphia in 1795, in New York in 1796. Later lived in New Jersey. Never mar- ried. The following are copies of his letters : "New York 20th NoV 1788. Sir, I have been unsuccessful with the commissioners of the treas- ury board. I have had encouragement of employment from sev- eral gentlemen in this city, in an enterprise to the westward ; but the length of time already elapsed and the uncertainty when their object will be matured, induce me to retire from New York to some town in its vicinity, where I propose to enter into a line of business sufficient for a support, till a more favorable time shall offer, for entering into public employ. The unfortunate failure of my brother has been exceedingly injurious to me; but persever- ance, I am persuaded, will enable me to rise superior to the sur- rounding difficulties. It is with reluctance that I call upon you for assistance to retire from this city ; but I hope this will be the last time that my circumstances shall render a similar application necessary. To descend into the vale of obscurity, for one who has acted no inconsiderable part in effecting the great revolution, which gave the United States of America a name among the na- tions of the earth, is hard ; but when I consider, that too great a reliance on public justice to be in some measure the cause, and not owing altogether to my own misconduct, the task becomes more easy. After once having taken the station, which my present circumstances render necessary, my mind will be more composed ; and I shall have time and leisure to make the proper arrangements for a reintroduction into public employ. From the consideration of the numerous family you have to support, it is 2 30/90 3 60/90 11 1 45/90 204 Sherman Genealogy painful to solicit any assistance ; and were this not the case, a man of my years and experience in life ought to depend upon himself. I have borrowed eleven dollars since my being in New York, and have, engaged to pay them the ensuing week, I there- fore most earnestly request that sum, at least, may be remited me. The following is a statement of the money I owe. To Colonel Richard Piatt, borrowed last Spring 25 Dollars Mr. David Osborn for board 17 Cap*. Forbes East Haven 1 Mr. Wm. Baldwin — Branford Mr. Jacob Brown — New Haven Borrowed in New York Thomas & Samuel Green 60 45/90 1^ I hope to be able to pay Colonel Piatt before he will want it — he is willing to wait three months The eleven dollars bor- rowed ; and the 17 due to Mr. Osborn are necessary to enable me to retire from this city. I am, Sir, with filial affection, Your obed'. Serv^ Isaac Sherman. The Honorable Roger Sherman Esq*"." "New York 19th Nov. 1796. Sir, I expected before this to have heard from you ; and that you would have transmitted a certificate from the Secretary of the Cincinnati Society of Connecticut, as I requested in my former letter, as it would be of great advantage to my family. I also ex- pected to have seen you here before this, though I suppose your business has prevented your coming. You are well acquainted with my situation and the circumstances of my family ; and there- fore if you have any regard for me, I should apprehend that you would have written. I told you when here that I did not wish you to involve yourself to extricate me from my present difficulties, though I think you and the other parts of the family might afford me some assistance ; as I have no doubt, but that we shall be able Sherman Genealogy 205 in a short time to return the favor. If anything can be done, the urgency of the case admits of no delay, or the least possible, I do not know when I shall be liberated. It may not be till the coming spring. But this is not the present point. Provision for my family is the primary object, which had I the certificate I wrote for, might in part answer the object. I write in haste. My respects to the family. If you do not come yourself, send me some money, as early as you can. I am. Your Affectionate Brother Isaac Sherman. Mr. Roger Sherman P. S. I wish you to come as early as your business will permit. If you was here three or four days, I have no doubt, but some- thing could be done of utility to me, and without any injury to yourself.

She obtained a divorce from him in Jan., 1793, in the Superior Court, New Haven County. She d. at Suffolk, Conn., Mar. 12, 1830, and is buried in the Charles Sherman burial lot in the Suffield Cemetery. Her tombstone inscription is: "Mrs. Rebecca A. Sherman of New Haven, died March 12, 1830, aged 7(i. Professing the religion of Christ, her life evinced love to His cause." Her will, dated June 28, 1828, was proved at New Haven, Apr. 16, 1830. He m. (2) at Stoughton, Mass., Sept. 4, 1794, by Rev. Zacharied Howard, Nancy Tucker, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Dana) Tucker, b. at Milton, Mass., Sept. 27, 1762. In or about 1784, he formed a partnership with David Austin, Jr., and Ilez Wetmore, of New Haven. The partnership agree- ment still extant, is not dated. By it they formed "themselves into a company for the prosecution of trade under the firm of Austin, Wetmore & Sherman" ; the partners to be equal pro- prietors in the capital stock of £1800; the profits to be equally divided and the partnership to continue until dissolved by agree- ment of the partners. In 1784 and 1785 the firm name was Wet- more & Sherman, and the place of busines was on Chapel Street. Advertisements of the firm in "The Connecticut Journal," of New Haven, in 1784, and in 1785, showed that they had for sale hay, oxen, horses, water hogsheads, hides, rum. sugar and an as- sortment of dry goods and other goods "For which they will re- ceive in Payment all kinds of Public Securities, Lumber and all kinds of Country Produce." He apparently gave up business and intended to go to Charleston or Savannah, as appears by the following letter from him to his father : "New Haven Decem 8th, 1788 Most respected Parent, My departure from' this is absolutely necessary on Account of my entering into business; the Trade of this City at present is not an Object of Importance, & scarcely of Support, I am now Sherman Genealogy 223 in the prime of life, I hope my Friends will not think me lost, my determinations are Just, that is to pay all their dues and owe no one anything-, in consequence of which I shall advise you & Esq. Austin, likewise Mrs. Sherman the place of my residence, the Set- tlement of my Public Accounts will be attended to by me as soon as the Public are ready to make me Payment for my Services, otherwise I should have left the United States for a few years, & this is only what prevents. I most probably shall fix my resi- dence at Charles Town, or Savannah, unhappy it is the past, I did not take your advice, it would not have obliged me to take the present measure (I think that the most unfeeling Heart would not wish to distress Mrs. Sherman & the Children in my absence) (I leave them to your care you will please to assert their rights & be their Just protector, & may the most Cordial Friendship ever subsist betwixt you & Esq. Austin. I wish each of you length of days & that your usefulness may be preserved to the last & that each of your Families may be happy (my own unhappiness pro- ceeds from myself only. I am with every respect Your son John Sherman Roger Sherman Esq." He served as paymaster in the Revolutionary War and had trouble with the settlement of his accounts with the United States Government, as shown by the following letter to his father: "New Etaven July 23^ 1790 Honer*^ Sir I transmit to you the ultimate Statement of my concerns with the United States in order to lay them before Congress for their consideration. I wish to compleat the whole as soon as possible in order to git into business which will support a large Family, and do that Justice to the public which is the best I possibly can, four applications, one to Congress, three to the General Assembly when the Acct^ were stated and the whole of the Securities in my hands, I found them daily falling and no general government established, which Induced me to take the measure I did, and by advice not from my friends who always held up an Idea of their being funded, but from other Gentlemen which prompted me to the Action (It is done I cannot help it) having no resources at 224 Sherman Genealogy Command, I await the decision of Congress on the Subject, my person is subject to an Arrest tho they cannot command Gold nor Silver from me having none nor any property, I will not attempt to Involve my friends as I never consulted them — my Acct^ are fully prepared for a Settlement I wish you to advise with Doc' Johnson who knows the circumstances of my first Application to Congress likewise Colo. Wadsworth as to the State, and no fur- their intefere on my Acc^ than you shall Judge necessary, I have stated plain facts — & expect personally to be answerable — I am your Son with every sentiments of respect John Sherman Roger Sherman Esq." (Written on back in his father's handwriting) "John Sherman's letter respecting his public accounts" There are in existence several letters from John Sherman to his father, relating to the divorce suit brought against him by his wife, in which he speaks of efforts to settle the matter and com- plains of his wife and his father-in-law. In a letter to his father, dated January 10, 1793, he says the divorce case has been tried and a decision is expected that day. In another letter, dated January 16, 1793, he says : "A bill of divorce is granted to Mrs. Sherman & all connec- tion on my part with the Family ceases forever. * * * * i am disposed to render them every assistance so far as it respects the children that Humanity & reason can demand." At this time he was living on his father's farm and managing it. The following letter from his daughters to their grandfather Sherman, refers to the separation of their parents and also to portraits and arms of the family : "New Haven, Jan. 21, 1793. Honored, and much respected Grandfather. We sincerely lament the unhappy necessity, which has sepe- rated our Parents.

He has likewise taken the Desk, Tea Urn, Silver Handled Knives & Forks, best Bed & Bedding, Chairs, Tables, &c., which Mama is very willing he should have. He has been here, & with Roger taken an account of all the Provisions, & Stores we have in the House, which are very considerable, and threatened taking them away, he has also given orders to Mr. Baldwin, to receive all the Money due to us from our Boarders, when they return at the close of Vacation. We intreat you Sir, to interpose in our afifair, & not suffer him to add affliction, to his already afflicted Children.

Nathaniel Taylor (New Milford Church Records, Vol. I, p. 77) ; B.A. Yale 1770, M.A. m. at New Haven, Nov., 1773, Sarah Law, daughter of Jonathan and Eunice (Andrew) Law and granddaughter of Governor Jonathan and his second wife Abigail (Arnold) Law. Abigail was daughter of Captain Josiah Arnold, son of Benedict Arnold, first governor of Rhode Island. Sarah Law was born at Milford, Conn., about 1753. Her father, Jonathan Law, of Milford, was b. Dec. 5, 1705; d. Sept. 24, 1790. His will, dated at Milford, Apr. 10, 1780, was proved at New Haven, Mar. 7, 1791. In it he mentions his only son Benedict Arnold Law and his daughters Eunice, Mary, Sarah, Abigail and Comfort, and he gives his daughters Abigail and Comfort the use of part of the house while they remain unmarried. His wife d. at Milford, May 2, 1762, and was buried there. His original will is on file but is not recorded. It was wit- nessed and proved by Richard Law, Anna Law and Jonathan Sherman Genealogy 235 Law, all of New London, Conn. Sarah (Law) Sherman claimed that William deserted her in Nov., 1779. They were divorced by the Legislature in Sept. 1781, and she m. (2) at New Haven, Sept. 23, 1781, Mark Leavenworth, son of Rev. Mark and Sarah (Hull) Leavenworth, b. at Water- bury, Conn., May 26, 1752. B.A. Yale, 1771 ; d. at Paris, France, Nov. 2, 1812. She died intestate at Paris, Jan. 22, 1826. They had a son who d. in 1825, aged about 25. (Dex- ter's Biographies of Yale Graduates.) At the U. S. Con- sulate General in Paris, is record that Mr. James Thayer, formerly of Providence, R. L, called at the Consulate, Sun- day, Jan. 22, 1826, to inform the Consul Mr. L Cox Barnet, of the death of Madame Leavenworth. On Jan. 23, 1826, Charles Bernet, son of the Consul, attended the funeral of Mrs. Leavenworth, Relict of the late Mark Leavenworth. Her body was taken from the house No. 22 Rue Hauteville Faubourg Poissonniere and was interred in the Cemetery of Montmartre, where Mark Leavenworth was buried. (Reg. ister of Consulate Apr. 11, 1825— May 29, 1834, p. 19.) At a Surrogates Court of Ontario County, New York, held at Canandaigua, June 6, 1832, an application was made by Oliver Phelps to establish the heirship and succession to the personal property of Sarah Leavenworth, widow of Mark Leavenworth, formerly of New Haven, Connecticut, and later of Paris, France, deceased, intestate. In this proceeding evidence was given that Mr. and Mrs. Leavenworth after their marriage lived in Paris; that after his death his widow Sarah visited Canandaigua in 1818 and returned to Paris where she died and that her next of kin were the six sur- viving children of Betsey L. (Sherman) Phelps, widow of Oliver Leicester Phelps, namely : Oliver Phelps, Leicester Phelps, Eliza M. (Phelps) Hubbell, wife of Walter Hubbell. Francis Mark Leavenworth Phelps, Seymour Law Phelps and William H. Phelps, Jennett Phelps, another child having died. John Greig, a lawyer, of Canandaigua, testified that he saw Mrs. Leavenworth in Paris on October 23, 1817, at her house No. 16 Rue du Mont-Thabor, and that he was in Paris in 1825 and 1830, and did not then see her, but was informed she was dead. 236 Sherman Genealogy It was adjudged that the six persons above named then living were the heirs and next of kin of Sarah Leavenworth, deceased. The following is a copy of an interesting letter of Sarah (Law) (Sherman) Leavenworth to her grandson, Oliver Phelps III: "Paris 6th Sepr 1815 Mr Oliver Phelps My Dear Grandson I wrote to you & also to your sister Eliza your Brother Leices- ter in the Month of June last & to Francis & Henry in the Month of July. I hope my Letters have been received — Before you re- ceive this Letter you will have heard of the several revolutions which have taken place in different parts of Europe within the last six months — It is wonderful to have so many extraordinary events in a Century and more particularly so in so short a length of time — the invasion of Napoleon his Victories & total defeat — the establishment of Louis eighteenth on the Throne of his an- cestors — the restoration of the king of Saxony on his throne — Ferdinand seventh proclaimed King of Naples & the two Sicilies — all this has taken place with inconceivable rapidity, no preced- ing Century can compare with the present. It will furnish his- tory with more extraordinary events than any other period since the annals of time — Peace ! will be the recompence of so much bloodshed & destruction — The great battle which took place on the eighteenth of June last, at Waterloo — ^between the French & allied armies, & which decided the contest. Is said to be the great- est that was ever known. The slaughter was so great that they could not bury the dead ! They were obliged to bum the bodies of those unfortunate victims who fell a sacrifice to the obedience of their sovereign — Alas ! who can console the bereaved Parents — wives & Children ; Brothers & sisters for the loss of those un- fortunate Victims ! ! The allied sovereigns are still in Paris with their troops, which are no small expense to France. Nayoleon rendered himself prisoner to the English who in concert with the allied sovereigns, have sent him to the Island of St. Helain where he is to be guarded, even, with more precaution, than any other prisoner with only the title of General — Thus has the great Goliah fallen! who only three weeks before, at the great fete de Champs Sherman Genealogy 237 de May — was drawn in his Imperial Gold Coach ; by Eight Arabian white Horses whose heads were covered with elegant white plumes and every other mark of Luxury. I hope there will be no new obstacle present to detain me here longer, than until next spring — when I hope to return to our pro- pitious & happy Country; where I doubt not I shall meet har- mony & affection, united in your innocent amusements & domestic concerns — I beg you to particularly take care of your dear sister Eliza who, is burthened with many cares & fatigues — a delicate young Lady cannot support too great a portion of trouble. I have the satisfaction to tell you that I have not suffered otherways by the revolution, than by delay to return to America — I request you to give my respects to your Grandmother Phelps & my Love to your Brother & sisters — I remain my dear Grand- son your affectionate Grand Mother Leavenworth" William was usually known as and signed his name William Sherman, Junior, to distinguish him from another William Sher- man of New Haven. After graduation he was employed in his father's store in New Haven, and in Dec, 1772, he succeeded his father in business but was not successful. By instrument dated Aug. 7, 1776, William. Sherman, Jr., of New Haven, for £20. made over and conveyed unto Abraham Augur, all his right and title in a shop that he used to occupy, standing on land belonging to Roger Sherman, Esq. One of the witnesses to this was John Sherman, Jr. By endorsement on this, dated Feb. 9, 1778, Abra- ham Augur, for £13/11/10 assigned "the within writing & the estate thereby conveyed to me unto Roger Sherman of the town of New Haven." By instrument dated Mar. 23, 1775, William Butler, Thomas Pearsall, Samuel Delaplaine, Hallett & Hazard, Frederick Rhine- lander and others, New York creditors of William Sherman, of New Haven, requested him on receipt thereof, to assign all his effects (his wearing apparel and necessary household furniture ex- cepted) under oath to his father, Roger Sherman, Esq., for the use and benefit of all his creditors in proportion to their respective de- mands, and they requested said Roger Sherman to accept the 238 Sherman Genealogy assignment and effects and make the best of the same as soon as may be, for the benefit of said creditors, and stated that they hoped the sum would be sufficient to pay them in full, but if it should fall short and pay no more than 15 shillings in the pound, they nevertheless agreed to receive the same respectively and give him full discharge. He served as paymaster with rank of lieu- tenant, in Col. Seth Warner's Connecticut Regiment from Jan., 1777, to Jan., 1781. In Feb., 1778, application was made to the General Assembly of Connecticut to grant him exemption from arrest after having assigned his property for the benefit of his creditors. "Saturday, July 6 1776. The Board of War brought in a re- port which was taken into consideration ; Whereupon, RE- SOLVED * * * That William Sherman Junr be ap- pointed pay master of Colonel Warner's regiment" (Pro- ceedings of Continental Congress, Vol. V, p. 523). July 16, 1779.

"Daniel Barnes and Mehitabel Sherman (daughter of the hon^'^ Roger & Rebecca Sherman) were joined in marriage in the month of March A. D. 1793" (N.H.V.R.). The following is a copy of a let- ter written by her brother to her father about her intended marriage to Mr. Barnes : "New Haven Feby 25th 1793 Dear Sir — I am requested by Mr. Daniel Barnes to inform you of his wishing to form a Connection in our Family which you doubtless have long since descovered by his Conduct & if he has your Con- sent & approbation there can be no obstacle to the Union which both the Parties are desirous should take place — he is anxious to settle & proposes to marry soon after your return — His affairs are so circumstanced that he is obliged to go to St. Croix the en- suing Spring, his Uncle who has been his Guardian since the Death of his Father who is a man upwards of Eighty years old is anxious to have all matters relative to the estate adjusted & set- tled while he is living, he has had the whole care of the Educa- tion & property of Mr. Barnes & is therefore better able to settle his affairs than any other person — he told him when at St. Croix that his Estate was free from every incumbrance & that he had property more than sufficient to sit him up in Business — he told his Uncle & Brother of his intention to enter into Trade & settle in this Country & they both approved of the plan — he expects to procure at least £2000 before his return & enter upon Business in partnership with me next fall — he will be 21 years old in June Sherman Genealogy 251 next, at which period minors according to the Danish Law may choose a Curator to take care of their Estate as according to that Law they do not arrive to years of Legal discretion until 25 — he expects to sell all his property in St. Croix, tho he is not certain than he can command the whole at present — he says he has for a long time been deprived of Parents & far distant from; any Rela- tions, but that he hopes soon to make up for the loss of Parents & the absence of those Relations by those Connections & those Par- ents who will feel an affection for him & aid him by their assis- tance & advice — Brother John continues steady Yours with respect & affection Roger Sherman Ju"" Honl Roger Sherman Esq*"" President Stiles in his diary under date of March 9, 1793, says that Judge Sherman returned that day. It is therefore probable that his daughter Mehetabel's marriage to Daniel Barnes took place later in the month, m.

D. 1775, and died at Canandaigua the 11th day of March 1813, aged V? years, 6 months and 9 days. He was a husband ardent in his aflfections, a father indulgent to his children, a friend glowing and sincere in his Sherman Genealogy 285 attachments, and from principle he was allied to the spirits, in- stitutions and interests of our Republic. In the meridian of his days he was suddenly removed from his afflicted family and the land of the living, and the history of his life affords a striking illustration of the truth that earthly prospects and the smiles of fortune do often deceive, and that wealth, talents and distinction, afford no protection against the approach of death" "Erected to the memory of BETSEY LAW PHELPS, Con- sort of the late OLIVER LEICESTER PHELPS, who was born at New Haven Connecticut on the 31 of July 1775 and died at Canandaigua on the 9th day of October 1813, aged 38 years, 2 months and 9 days. This monument is the last poor tribute of affection to a mother deeply lamented and much beloved.

SENATOR HOAR In Memoriam You of the Spirit fresh with Mayflower dew, A Pilgrim Father faithful to the end, Stout-hearted foe and truest-hearted friend Who never trimmed your sails to winds that blew With breath of popular favor — but fore-knew Storm followed sun, and knowing, did depend On One behind all storm high aid to lend, And from Heaven's fount alone your wisdom drew, Farewell; in these illiterate later days We ill can spare the good gray head that wore The honors of a nation. Fare you well ! When love and justice climb the starry ways And freedom wins the height where angels dwell, They there shall find your presence gone before. Canon Rawnsley, 79. HON.

He was killed in action Sept. 12, 1918, at the battle of St. Mihiel salient, in front of his men, leading them against a machine gun battery. A fellow officer w^rote : "Bob had charged with his platoon, not fol- lowing, but leading them — just the kind of action every one admires in an officer. I saw it myself and heard his men speak of it afterwards. It was in an attack on a boche machine-gun nest that he fell, fighting for his God and country, a true sol- dier to the last. He was the most popular officer in his regiment. He was buried in the Soldiers' Cemetery, near Bois St. Claude, a short distance southeast of the village of Vieville-en-Haye." An- other officer of his regiment wrote, "I saw numer- ous evidences of Yankee pluck and valor — one in particular which I never shall forget — Lieutenant Robert Gamble of our A Company (who lives on the Main Line). Well, he died with his boots on, clutching his automatic revolver as he fell dead. He took a machine gun nest — and just beyond him were two of the crew of the machine gun that got him across the chest." On Sept. 15, 1918, after the drive in which Lieut. Gamble was killed. Gen. Pershing congratulated the officers and men of the Third Corps, saying: "The courageous dash and vigor of our troops have thrilled our countrymen and evoked the enthusiasm of our allies." Col. John B. Bennet, who commanded the 11th In- fantry, in an account of the battle in which Lieut. Gamble was killed, dated at Headquarters at Havre, France, Feb. 7, 1919, after stating that he 352 Sherman Genealogy was killed on the morning of Sept. 12, 1918, says ; "I have written the above in belief that details, such as they are, may be of some comfort to Lieut. Gamble's parents, who may well be proud of a son who gave his life on the field of battle, in the greatest struggle of history and in the first opera- tion of the American Army that was soon to free the world from the German menace. Lieut. Gam- ble was a brave, courageous and efficient officer. He was an honor to his regiment. By his death the regiment suffered a loss of one of its most promising lieutenants." He was buried near Vie- ville. 3. Eleanor Standish^'^ Gamble, b. at Bryn Mawr, Penn., Jan. 8, 1895. Unm. 4. Charles White^^ Gamble, b. at Bryn Mawr, Nov. 3, 1897; Yale, 1920. 2nd Lieut. U. S. A.
