Notes:
1810 Census - Orford, Grafton Co, New Hampshire.
1810. The chief event this year was "Cold Friday," which occurred Jan. 19. The early part of the preceding day the weather was mild, but later a cold wind sprang up and the thermometer began to drop. The next morning the wind blew a gale and the thermometer had fallen fifty degrees. At Sanbornton the record was made of twenty-five degrees below zero and several lives were lost. The gale did much damage to timber, and the intense cold caused much suffering, but there were no fatalities in this town. The great wind increased the severity of the weather, piercing the heaviest clothing, and finding a ready entrance to the rude homes of the people. (History of Bristol, Grafton Co, NH, Vol I Annals of the Town - note: Bristol was only about 20 mi from Orford)
1811 - Mar 14 - living in Orford, Grafton Co, NH; certified that he "embraces a belief in the Religious tenets of the denomination of Christians called Methodists and does pay for the support the gospel in that order."

1814. Monday, Dec. 6, heavy shock of earthquake, continuing forty-five seconds.
1815. Spotted fever prevailed to considerable extent this year and there were many fatalities. People stricken with this disease were frequently carried off within twenty-four hours. Among the fatal cases were four children of John Favor.
1815. The great gale of Sept. 23, which did great damage in the central portion of the state, appears to have visited New Chester and Bridgewater more lightly, though much damage was done to fruit trees and buildings.
1816. Spotted fever again raged. In January, Ephraim Quimby lost six children in five days. All were buried in two graves.
1816. The first months of this year were remarkable for the small amount of snow that fell and the warm weather that prevailed, the summer months as the coldest on record in this state. Snow fell and ice formed every month of the year. June 11, two inches of snow came.{1} So great was the damage done and suffering caused that the year was called "Poverty year." Farmers made heroic efforts to save their crops, and whole nights were spent in feeding huge bonfires near the corn to keep the frost from at least a part; but on the night of Aug. 19, there came a frost that bonfires could not drive away and all the corn in town was killed. There was not enough raised for seed the next year, and provisions of all kinds went to fabulous prices. The next March hay was worth from $25 to $30 per ton; corn, $2 per bushel, and other articles in proportion. Many had no hay at all the latter part of the winter, and could not obtain any, and many cattle died. (History of the Town of Bristol)
1817. This season the crops were plenteous and farmers prospered. The weather was propitious and no frost came till the 29th of September. Sunday morning, Oct. 5, while the people were at church, a heavy earthquake shock was felt. (History of the Town of Bristol)
1818 - aft Mar, moved to New York. The family fell onto hard times, and Jacob was put in debtor's prison in Madison Co, NY during 1818. To occupy his time in prison, he carved a beautiful wooden box, which is still in the family today. During their sojurn in NY, the family embraced the Catholic faith. (Desc of Jacob Haven Sherman - Linda Stewart)
1820 Census - Sherburne, Chenango County, New York. 1st four children baptized here: Lucinda, William Smith, Rebecca, and Leverett. Sherburne, New York, is about 15 miles from Lebanon, New York, where Mary stayed until her death. Lebanon is in Madison Co.
Late 1820s - family left New York
1830 Census - Mentor Township, Geauga County, Ohio.
Possibly went to Chardon, Geauge Co, Ohio with Aaron Stebbins, brother to Rebecca, or joined him there.
1840 - Lee County, Ohio. Willis and Rebecca Sherman Barnes are shown to be living next door.
1842 - in Springfield, Illinois
1850 St Louis Co, Missouri, St. Ferdinands Township, 17 September.
Died 18 November 1850.
Family still in Missouri in December 1853 when Jacob, Jr., married Magdelena Summers there. 1853 Leverett R & his wife Margaret had gone ahead of the family to Chambers Co (then Liberty Co) He received 160 acres of preempted land on Turtle Bay.
1854 Richard & Lothrop and their families arrived by ox-drawn wagons and settled on Turtle Bay.
1855 Rebecca, Jacob Jr, John, William Barnes and their families had joined the others on Turtle Bay. The Turtle Bay community was located near the town of Wallisville. Leverett sold land to his brothers and sister so they could establish themselves in their new home.

Thinking that perhaps there is a family in this location related, I've looked at several and found nothing concrete. What few relationships there are seem to be more related to the Stebbins family, with the exception of the Tillotson family. Their connection is to the three Shermans who are living in a nearby township of Concord, Grafton County - so not immediate neighbors enough to say for sure they are in the same immediate family as Jacob -- but could be.
