Notes:
There have been many variations of his middle name,Brookway, Blockman, several other spellings. In reserching various Shermans/Stebbins for Richard's family, there was a collateral family named Brockway. I'm betting this was the source of his name. There was also a Lothrop family marrying into the Brockway family - in fact, there was a Lathrop Brockway. This is same Lothrop/Lathrop family of Jane Lothrop who married Samuel Fuller whose daughter married Nicholas Bonham, who we believe is our Catharine Bonham Madden's ancestor. It may turn out we're doubly related to Samuel Fuller if we could find Richard Sherman's exact connection.
Civil War - Lothrop enlisted August 7, 1863 in Captain Thomas A. Wooten's Company B, Texas State Troops Cavalry. He was 38 years old at the time he entered the company as a private.

"Jacob Haven Sherman Sr.'s seventh child was Lothrop Blookway Sherman. Lothrop arrived in present day Chambers County in 1854 and married Mary in 1855. Since she was a widow, she had separate funds. On 28 October 1856, Mary paid $30 for the purchase of 1/4 of a league of the Shadrack Burney survey from Tabitha Jane Shelton Jones. This became their home place. By 1860, Lothrop had cleared and improved 131 acres, with 93 acres left to clear. That year it was reported he owned one horse, one mule, one milk cow, eight working oxen, twenty cows, five sheep and twenty head of swine. He harvested one hundred and fifty bushel of Indian corn, eleven bales of cotton, fifty pounds of wool, three hundred bushels of sweet potatoes, and three hundred gallons of wine. After farming their homestead for seven years, Lothrop heard the patriotic call of the Civil War at the age of 38. He left Mary, who was seven months pregnant (with Amanda) and their three small children, and enlisted on 7 August 1863 in Captain Thomas A. Wooten's Company B, Texas State Troops Cavalry. He entered the company as a private. Lothrop returned safely home from the war to once again farm his land and to live another twenty-five years with his loving supportive wife."
Name:
Name: Lothrop -- apparently named for the Lothrop family who married into the Fuller family -- i.e. Mayflower descendants.
Brockway -- seen many spellings of this name - Blockway, Brookway, Blookway -- and others. Blockway is a family name that married into the Stebbins line beginning back 4 generations from Rebecca, a Bridget Blockway. Quite reasonably the source of the name.

Lothrop b 1825 would be 15 in 1840.
