Notes:

needs more research. The following statement, found at
http://nefamilies.com/fam/groupsheetI100006825.aspx

"Shermand Genealogy lists Edmunds wife as Joan Makin. This book seems to be trustworthy because of the thorough research that was accomplished in order to publish the History. Previously, I have the wife of Edmund Sherman listed as Judith Angiers which I now believe is incorrect; It was Edmund Sherman (son of Henry, who is son of our Henry) of Colchester who married Judith Angers! (See pg: 104 of Sherman Genealogy);"

However,Judith Angiers b 1587. Edmond, son of Henry, is father of Edmond Jr.; b 1548, probably too old for Judith. His wives were Anne Clere and Anne Pellette.

Matthew's undated will was proved Jun. 16, 1646, and his inventory was taken May 19, 1646.

A dissenter of the Church of England, his ancestors three generations earlier moved from Scotland to Yorkshire.

The family departed Bristol, England on May 23, 1635 aboard the 'James', arriving at Boston, MA on Aug. 17, 1635. Most of their belongings were lost in a shipwreck upon arrival in America, and they lived at Charleston, Concord, and Springfield, MA, and at Saybrook and Wethersfield, CT before finally settling at Stamford, CT.
