In 1836, Elizabeth Hoppock Sherman (widow of Thomas Sherman), married Elijah Rittenhouse and they along with her two Sherman offspring, Cornelius and Rachel Sherman migrated to Columbia Township (corrected to Congress Twp), Lorain Co., Ohio. The last I know of Rachel is that at the age of 34 she was still living in the household of her mother, step-father and a half-sister. Cornelius married a native of Ohio Ruth [---?--] and fathered at least eleven children.

Kay: I haven't seen your postings for quite awhile. I was hoping you weren't sick or had given up on the Shermans, or some other terrible thing!!
Did you ever find any earlier ancestors to Edward (b.1719). I have a tentative note that his father may have been Edward, married to Sara Alcock.
I'm still not back into the Shermans, just curious.
Best wishes...............Larry

Dear Larry,
I am still very much into the Shermans.
I, too, have that that note that Edward Sherman(Shearman) was married to Sarah Alcock. That would be the father of the Edward Shearman that migrated from Philadelphia (Byberry Township) to Bucks County and then to Hunterdon County.
But lately, I have been working on filling in the descendants of Thomas Shearman (son of the younger Edward) and his wives (2, both named Mary) and children and grandchildren.
It is amazing how very interelated these Hunterdon County families are. I am discovering family connections to people that I have known all my life and never realized that I was at least distantly related to.
It is also somewhat of a shock to find that I know more about people who lived in the early to mid 1800's than I do about people in the family who lived in the early 1900's. So I am working on later Sherman's right now. Later on, I will pursue The Edward--Sarah connection.
It is good to hear from you---I do wish you were back into the Sherman's, but I think the bug will bite again one of these days.
Happy New Year, Larry. Hope that all is well with you and yours.
Kay
