RE: Father of Charles Sherman ...

Page 1179: "Henry Sherman, was a native of Shippensburg, Franklin Co., Pa...was the eldest of six children, and early in life learned the trade of a blacksmith as well as that of toolmaker. In 1827 he journeyed overland to the young State of Ohio by means of teams, and settled among the pioneers of Richland County. He purchased land near the present site of Ontario, and six miles west of Mansfield, where he first cleared a spot large enough to erect a log cabin and establish a blacksmith-shop in the latter of which, by means of a charcoal furnace, he made himself remarkably useful to his neighbors for miles around. He was prospered in his labors of farming and blacksmithing combined, and cleared quite a large tract of land. The log cabin in time gave place to an imposing two-story log house, which was weather-boarded outside, and was the admiration of the country around.

The elder Sherman was injured while shoeing a refractory horse, and died Nov. 30, 1844, in his prime, when forty-two years of age."

UPDATE 21 February 2024 by profile manager.

HENRY SHERMAN: BURIAL LOCATION UNKNOWN

Recently re-evaluating burial records, it is more likely that Henry Sherman (the father, this profiles) is buried in Richland County, Ohio, where the family was living at the time and where his Probate Records are recorded with "Ohio, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1786-1998;" source Ancestry.com database online.

EXTRACT: After Nov 1844/early 1845, Henry's wife, Mary Sherman is relinquishing her right to administer her deceased husband's estate in favor of the court appointing "John Shiffler."

Source: Refer to attached Probate Records.

Ancestry.com database: Administration Records, 1813-1885; Administration Index,1837-1890; Probate Place: Richland, Ohio. Description Notes: "Administration Records, Vol 5-6, 1844-1847."

A court recording closing out the records for the Estate of Deceased Henry Sherman.

The INDEX shows:

Name: Henry Sherman

Probate Date: Apr 1845

Probate Place: Richland, Ohio, USA

Inferred Death Date: 1845

Inferred Death Place: Ohio, USA

Case Number: 709

Item Description: Administration Index, Vol 1-2, 1837-1878

~~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~

It is therefore this descendant's conclusions:

1) Henry Sherman's birth and death dates ARE NOT on the Block 1/Lot 48, Reaver & Sherman PLOT for people buried at Graceland Cemetery, Knoxville, Marion County, Ohio. The individuals were related family members, but his information was not included.

2) The tombstone inscribed merely "Henry" at Graceland Cemetery is likely the burial location of the SON who died in the Civil War, 1861. Then his name may have been later added to the SHERMAN MEMORIAL HEADSTONE that is inscribed with the mother Mary (Nazor) Sherman and brother Jacob Sherman.

*** At this time the "Henry" headstone will remain on this memorial in remembrance of the father who died in Ohio, 1844. ***

3) The father, Henry Sherman, is probably buried in Richland County, Ohio which will be investigated for a LOCATION at a later date.

Ship MAYFLOWER LINEAGE TO: GEORGE SOULE, 1620

4) It is recently discovered, and believed that Henry Sherman has a direct lineal descent from the Mayflower passenger GEORGE SOULE, 1620. Proving it with official records is the next course of business.
