  Notes	from Bonnie Weber file-Mar07: " There are several other interesting events concerning this family that are derived from the town council records of South Kingstown. On 11 Mar 1727/8, George Sherman and Benjamin Sherman ages 17 and 15 respectively appeared before the town council and requested that a man by the name of John Sheldon be appointed their guardian. This was approved and John Sheldon accepted his responsibility. This action is a little strange inasmuch as these two boys had apparently been living with their step father, Thomas Potter, and their mother, Lydia Wilcox Sherman Potter for the past eight years." =================== "Lydia again appeared before the town council probably some time in Feb 1729/30 and requested that someone be appointed to lay out the 1/3 of her first husband's (Thomas Sherman) estate to which she was entitled. (It appears that things moved pretty slowly in those days. Her husband had only been dead ten years now, and this was the second time that the town council ordered this to be done). On this same day, Lydia's two sons, George and Benjamin Sherman, who had previously requested that John Sheldon be their guardian, now requested of the town council that Lydia be re-instated as their guardian. The council allowed this." http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=artcohan&id=I04217
