Samuel Sherman1

b. 12 July 1618, d. 5 April 1700
Family
Father*Edmund Sherman1 b. s 1572, d. bt 29 Oct 1640 - May 1641
Mother*Grace Makin1 b. s 1578
Baptism*12 July 1618Samuel Sherman was baptized on 12 July 1618 at Dedham, Essex County, England.1,2,3 
(Son) ReligionAlthough Samuel's father had sent his brother John to Immanuel College in Cambridge for his religious training, his father was a Puritan. He finally felt so persecuted by the established Church of England that he left everything and fled with his family and some townsmen to New England, where he could worship according to the dictates of his conscience.1 
(Son) ImmigrationApril 1634According to the Sherman Genealogy source, Samuel sailed with his parents and siblings from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, in the ship Elizabeth during " the last of April 1634" for New England. Their daughter Hester and her husband Andrew Ward had immigrated with their children the previous year. Only the Sherman Genealogy source reported a name of the Sherman's ship and a date of the family's embarkation and immigration to New England. A John Sherman, age 20, is the only passenger with a Sherman surname who appears on the ship Elizabeth's April 1634 passenger list. Whether he was Edmund and Grace's son John or Edmund's cousin John, or another John Sherman altogether is not known. The Sherman Genealogy also stated, incorrectly, that because Edmund's wife was not mentioned it was therefore probable she had died at Dedham, England before 1634 and that the couple's oldest child Edmund, who was 34 years of age in 1634, had immigrated with the family. Additional research showed us that son Edmund remained in England, and his mother Grace, who was alive, immigrated. All of the passengers listed who signed an oath of allegiance in preparation for their immigration signed at Ipswich, County Suffolk , which is also the embarkation place noted in the Sherman Genealogy source.1,4,5,6,7 
(Son) ResidenceJune 1634The family arrived at Watertown, Massachusetts Bay Colony (New England), in June 1634 where, "under a tree," Samuel's brother John preached his first sermon as an assistant to the pastor.8,1 
(Son) Relocation29 May 1635When his brother John was dismissed with others from the church at Watertown on 29 May 1635 to go and form a new church in Wethersfield, New Haven Colony, Connecticut, Samuel and his parents and siblings went with him.8,1,9 
Marriage*circa 1640He married Sarah Mitchell, daughter of Matthew Mitchell, circa 1640.3 
Death*5 April 1700He died on 5 April 1700 in Stratford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, at age 81.3

Mother*Elizabeth Everett Bolton b. 30 May 1806, d. 21 Jan 1864
Birth*25 August 1837Clarence Vinton Shove was born on 25 August 1837 in Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island. 
(Son) Residence1847About the year of 1847, Clarence Vinton Shove moved with his parents to Pope Creek, Knox County, Illinois, where his father Samuel continued to work a small piece of land and kept a stock of goods, enjoying the variety to be found in running a country store. Their two youngest children were with them in Pope Creek, and Elizabeth's daughter, Elizabeth Brown, age 21, had married Lucien Conger in 1845 and lived in Galesburg. Samuel's daughter, Nancy, had died in 1844 and his daughter, Hannah, had possibly already married Gershom Redway before her family moved from Providence. The whereabouts of the four older boys, all old enough to be on their own, William Shove at age 33, Josiah Shove at 23, James Brown, also 23 and George Brown at 19, remains a mystery to this researcher. William and Josiah Shove were still living in 1874, but James and George Brown have not yet been found.2 
(Son) Residence1849Around 1849, Clarence Vinton Shove moved with his parents, Samuel Shove and Elizabeth E. Shove from Mount Hope to Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois.1 
(Son) Census US 185024 September 1850Clarence Vinton Shove appeared on the 1850 census taken on 24 September 1850 in the household of his parents Samuel Shove and Elizabeth E. Shove in Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois. Samuel's occupation was recorded as Merchant. The household was made up of Samuel, age 63, Elizabeth, 43, son Clarence Vinton, 13, and daughter, Louisa, age 9.3 
(Brother) Census US 18607 June 1860Clarence Shove appeared on the 1860 census taken on 7 June 1860 in the household of his half-brother, George W. Brown and his wife Eleanor (Kenyon) Brown, in Mount Hope, McLean County, Illinois. Clarence was helping George with the farm's labor. George and Eleanor had four young sons also living with them in the household. Cassius was 7, Harold 5, Frank 4, and Lucien 2.

Mother*Lydia Buffum1 b. 17 Oct 1787, d. 8 Sep 1833
Birth*1818Hannah Baxter Shove was born in 1818 in Woonsocket, Providence County, Rhode Island.2 
Birth1819Hannah Baxter Shove was born in 1819. 
(Daughter) Residencebetween 1820 and 1825About the year 1820, Samuel Shove and Lydia (Buffum) Shove purchased what, in 1874, had become known as the "Ephraim Coe farm" in Woonsocket, Providence County, Rhode Island. Hannah Baxter Shove lived there with her parents until 1825 when they moved to Providence.2 
(Daughter) Residencebetween 1825 and 1840Hannah Baxter Shove moved with her parents in between 1825 and 1840 to Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island, where the family lived for the next sixteen years. Where Lydia died in 1835 and the rest of the family continued to live for the next six years. Most of their sixteen years in Providence, they lived in a double brick house on Benefit Street between College and Waterman streets, and Samuel was a charming host to all who visited, extending his hospitalities largely to visiting members of the Society of Friends and his many business associates. All who came under his roof were welcomed heartily and entertained liberally.

In Providence, Samuel was very active within the community. He was one of the first directors of the Globe Bank, organized in 1831, with William Sprague as President, and John R. Bartlett as cashier, and also for some years was a director in the American Insurance Company.

In politics, Samuel was an active and devoted member of the Whig Party, which was formed in 1832 to oppose the policies of President Andrew Jackson and the Democratic Party. In particular, the Whigs supported the supremacy of Congress over the Executive Branch and favored a program of modernization and economic development.

The Party's name was chosen to echo the American Whigs of the 1770s who fought for independence, and the Whig Party included among its members such national political personalities as Daniel Webster, William Henry Harrison, and their greatest leader, Henry Clay of Kentucky. In addition to Harrison, the Whig Party also counted four war heroes among its ranks, including Generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott. Its Illinois leader was Abraham Lincoln.

In its 26-year existence, the Whig Party saw two of its candidates elected President of the United States -- Harrison and Taylor -- and saw both of them die in office. Four months after succeeding Harrison, Whig President John Tyler was expelled from the Party, and Millard Fillmore, Taylor's Vice President, was the last Whig to hold the nation's highest office.

The party was ultimately destroyed by the question of whether to allow the expansion of slavery to the territories. Deep fissures in the membership on this question led the party to run Winfield Scott over its own incumbent President Fillmore in the presidential election of 1852. The Whig Party never elected another President. Its leaders quit politics (as Lincoln did temporarily) or changed parties. By 1856 the Party had ceased operations and the voter base defected in a variety of different directions. Samuel, in Illinois, followed Lincoln, and gave his hearty allegiance to the Republican Party at its first formation. He retained an intelligent interest in, and supported its activities, up to the last moment of his life. He believed strongly in the value of homeland business and "made in the USA" merchandise, and throughout his entire career lost no opportunity to defend that principle whenever and wherever he found the opportunity.

He had a clear head and sound judgment and never failed to give good counsel to all who sought it of him. His son, Josiah, wrote that Samuel Shove "led a very active life mentally and physically, and his ruling aim seemed to be to do whatsoever came to his hand with all his might, deeming all honest work honorable, and only scorning to eat the bread of idleness or of dishonesty."2,3 
(Daughter) Census US 18301 June 1830Hannah Baxter Shove likely appeared on the 1830 census taken on 1 June 1830 in the household of her father Samuel Shove in East Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island. There were seven members of the household, including one male aged 5-10 (Josiah), one male aged 15-20 (William), one male aged 40-50 (Samuel), one female aged 5-10 (Nancy), one female aged 10-15 (Hannah), one female aged 20-30 (likely a servant) and one female aged 40-50 (Lydia.)4

Birth*24 June 1841Louisa Agnes Shove was born on 24 June 1841 near Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois.4,3 
(Daughter) Residence1847About the year of 1847, Louisa Agnes Shove moved with her parents to Pope Creek, Knox County, Illinois, where her father Samuel continued to work a small piece of land and kept a stock of goods, enjoying the variety to be found in running a country store. Their two youngest children were with them in Pope Creek, and Elizabeth's daughter, Elizabeth Brown, age 21, had married Lucien Conger in 1845 and lived in Galesburg. Samuel's daughter, Nancy, had died in 1844 and his daughter, Hannah, had possibly already married Gershom Redway before her family moved from Providence. The whereabouts of the four older boys, all old enough to be on their own, William Shove at age 33, Josiah Shove at 23, James Brown, also 23 and George Brown at 19, remains a mystery to this researcher. William and Josiah Shove were still living in 1874, but James and George Brown have not yet been found.5 
(Daughter) Residence1849Around 1849, Louisa Agnes Shove moved with her parents, Samuel Shove and Elizabeth E. Shove from Mount Hope to Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois.2 
(Daughter) Underground Railroadcirca 1850One night the Shove's young daughter, Louisa, was awakened in the night in her upstairs bedroom in their Galesburg, Illinois house. She told her grandchildren, years later, of going sleepily downstairs as nine year olds will, and opening the door on a room filled with people -- her parents, some neighbors and some black strangers. She was hushed back to bed. And for a long time she did not know whether it was dream or memory. When she was older she realized that her parents' home had been a station on the Underground Railway.

In the 1850s the Underground Railroad existed in every State from Maine to Iowa, but mainly in Ohio and Illinois. It functioned without formal organization, officers, rules or maps. It was altogether spontaneous. The slaves fled across the border, appealed for help, found it, sent back word; others found the way, and soon scores of men were helping them, how many no one knows. Galesburg was the most important station in Illinois. The galleries of its Old First Church afforded hiding places for slaves. There were houses in the village and farms on the prairie whose occupants, like the Shoves, were ready to receive fugitives at any hour of the night. Each group worked in ignorance of the size of the movement or its ramifications. All they knew were the stations nearest and the men who went to and fro. There were no records, no statistics. The less they knew the better when it came to testifying in court. Passwords were arranged between those dealing with each other. The routes were frequently changed. It was the simplest organization imaginable and in its simplicity lay its success.6,7 
(Daughter) Census US 185024 September 1850Louisa Agnes Shove appeared on the 1850 census taken on 24 September 1850 in the household of her parents Samuel Shove and Elizabeth E. Shove in Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois. Samuel's occupation was recorded as Merchant. The household was made up of Samuel, age 63, Elizabeth, 43, son Clarence Vinton, 13, and daughter, Louisa, age 9.8 
(Daughter) Residence13 December 1853In 1853 the family moved to Mercer County and Louisa's father, by Warrant, purchased federal land on 13 December 1853 in Mercer County, Illinois. The land, consisting of 40 acres, was located in Section Number 32, Township 14N, Range 2W of the 4th Principal Meridian of the County of Mercer, and had the legal description SESE.2,9 
(Daughter) Residencebetween 1854 and 1864Samuel Shove and Elizabeth E. Shove made several moves between 1854 and 1864 and their actual pattern of relocation has not yet been determined accurately. Their daughter, Louisa Agnes Shove moved with her parents Samuel, on a journey he made to New England in 1853, contracted an infection of his eyes which resulted within a year or two in a total loss of sight in one eye, and such impaired vision of the remaining one, he became no longer able to continue the work of his business. He was a much disciplined man however, with a very strong work ethic, and continued to make himself as useful as he possibly could. In 1857, following the loss of his sight, he and Elizabeth removed to Oneida, Knox County, Illinois.5 
Marriage*2 May 1866She married, as his second wife, Crayton Hall Conger, son of Uzziah Conger and Hannah West, on 2 May 1866 in Henry County, Illinois.2,1,10,11
Census US 1870*9 July 1870Louisa and Crayton Hall Conger appeared on the 1870 census taken on 9 July 1870 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Crayton was 44 and worked as a Lumber Dealer. His real estate was valued at $15,000 and his personal estate at $20,000. Louisa was 29 and was keeping house. Crayton's three children from his first marriage, Arthur at 19, Irene at 16 and Lillie, at 14, lived with the couple whose first child, Alice, had just been born the day before and was not enumerated. Irene and Lillie were both at school and Arthur, who had attended school within the last year, was working as a bookkeeper. Emily Anderson, age 19 and born in Sweden, also lived with the family as a domestic servant.

The Lucien Conger family also lived in Chicago Ward 5 in 1870, probably fairly near, since both families were enumerated by the same person only two days apart. In the other Conger household, Lucien was Crayton's brother and Samuel Shove and Elizabeth (Brown) Conger were Louisa's father and half-sister.12 
Great Chicago Fire8 October 1871 No one knows how the fire started in the cow barn at the rear of the Patrick O'Leary cottage at 137 DeKoven Street on Chicago's West Side. The blaze began about 9 p.m. that Sunday night, and by midnight the fire had jumped the river's south branch and by 1:30 a.m., the business district was in flames. Shortly thereafter the fire raced northward across the main river.

The waterworks were evacuated although the tower was not badly damaged and still stands. During Monday, the fire burned as far as Fullerton Avenue and rainfall, which started about midnight, helped put out the last of the flames. 300 Chicagoans were dead, 90,000 homeless, and the property loss was $200 million.

Chicago quickly rebuilt and by 1875 little evidence of the disaster remained.13 
Residence*Around the time of the Great Chicago Fire, which occurred 8 Oct 1871, Louisa and Crayton Hall Conger moved with their baby daughter to a farm near Oneida, Knox County, Illinois. Their daughter Alice's two letters contradict each other regarding the timing of the family's move. Her "c1935" source said the move was just prior to the fire and her "c1950" notes stated it was shortly after.13,14,15,5
Relocation*12 April 1878 Within a few years of moving his family to the farm in Oneida, Crayton's health began to fail. Thinking that a change in climate might help, he and Louisa moved their family to New Mexico in 1877. Their daughter, Alice, was 7 years old and wrote that she had only a dim recollection of the long journey. Son Roy was 4, Elizabeth 2, and Hazel was an infant. Crayton's older son, Arthur, and his family made the trip also. Arthur was 26, his wife Ella was 21, and their young daughter Lucy was 3.

At that time, Trinidad, Colorado was the end of the railroad line and the family made the remainder of the trip to New Mexico on the Santa Fe Trail by stagecoach. It was a tiring and dusty trip, and would have been especially so for the young children. Crayton and his son, Arthur, invested together in the purchase of what was commonly known then as a "Post Traders" store at Fort Union, Mora County, New Mexico. Crayton was appointed as the post trader and they bought the Sutler's store on 12 April 1878.16,14,15
(Wife) Death22 May 1880Louisa became a widow when Crayton Hall Conger died on 22 May 1880.14,17
Census US 1900*15 June 1900Louisa was enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 15 June 1900 at 565 6th Street, Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa. She was 58 years of age, a widow, and lived with three of her daughters, Elizabeth, Hazel and Emma in a house she rented. Elizabeth was 25 years of age and worked as a stenographer, Hazel was 22 and worked as a bill clerk, and Emma was 20 years of age.18 
(Participant) Family Photo19 January 1903 On 19 Jan 1903 several photos of the extended Heaton family were taken at a family gathering, probably at William and Lucy Heaton's home in Des Moines, Iowa. Multiple shots of primarily the same individuals in different groupings are spread across the country among the Heaton descendants.19
(Mother-in-Law) Census US 191015 April 1910Louisa (Shove) Conger appeared on the 1910 census taken on 15 April 1910 in the household of her daughter and son-in-law, Hazel and Roy Henry Heaton, in Dalhart, Dallam County, Texas. She was 68 years of age and worked as a librarian in a library.20 
Biographical Info* Louisa enjoyed celebrating her birthday. The Des Moines, Iowa Tribune wrote quite a long article about her when she turned 100 -- with the headline "Mrs. Louisa Conger 100 YEARS OLD". The story said she was "a child of the depression" of 1841 and that she was born two years before the first telegraph line linked Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland. "Mrs. Conger is enjoying the fruit of progress" and was planning to have her first airplane ride to celebrate her birthday.

In describing Louisa, the article said "her sight is failing some; she requires earphones for conversation; she uses a cane and a crutch to walk -- but her mind and memory are clear, and she hasn't lost her sense of humor."21
Death*circa 1943 Her granddaughter, Mary Lou Heaton Skinner Ross, estimated the year of her grandmother's death as between 1942 and 1944.22

Mother*Lydia Buffum1 b. 17 Oct 1787, d. 8 Sep 1833
Birth*1821Nancy Hacker Shove was born in 1821. 
(Daughter) Residencebetween 1825 and 1840Nancy Hacker Shove moved with her parents in between 1825 and 1840 to Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island, where the family lived for the next sixteen years. Where Lydia died in 1835 and the rest of the family continued to live for the next six years. Most of their sixteen years in Providence, they lived in a double brick house on Benefit Street between College and Waterman streets, and Samuel was a charming host to all who visited, extending his hospitalities largely to visiting members of the Society of Friends and his many business associates. All who came under his roof were welcomed heartily and entertained liberally.

In Providence, Samuel was very active within the community. He was one of the first directors of the Globe Bank, organized in 1831, with William Sprague as President, and John R. Bartlett as cashier, and also for some years was a director in the American Insurance Company.

In politics, Samuel was an active and devoted member of the Whig Party, which was formed in 1832 to oppose the policies of President Andrew Jackson and the Democratic Party. In particular, the Whigs supported the supremacy of Congress over the Executive Branch and favored a program of modernization and economic development.

The Party's name was chosen to echo the American Whigs of the 1770s who fought for independence, and the Whig Party included among its members such national political personalities as Daniel Webster, William Henry Harrison, and their greatest leader, Henry Clay of Kentucky. In addition to Harrison, the Whig Party also counted four war heroes among its ranks, including Generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott. Its Illinois leader was Abraham Lincoln.

In its 26-year existence, the Whig Party saw two of its candidates elected President of the United States -- Harrison and Taylor -- and saw both of them die in office. Four months after succeeding Harrison, Whig President John Tyler was expelled from the Party, and Millard Fillmore, Taylor's Vice President, was the last Whig to hold the nation's highest office.

The party was ultimately destroyed by the question of whether to allow the expansion of slavery to the territories. Deep fissures in the membership on this question led the party to run Winfield Scott over its own incumbent President Fillmore in the presidential election of 1852. The Whig Party never elected another President. Its leaders quit politics (as Lincoln did temporarily) or changed parties. By 1856 the Party had ceased operations and the voter base defected in a variety of different directions. Samuel, in Illinois, followed Lincoln, and gave his hearty allegiance to the Republican Party at its first formation. He retained an intelligent interest in, and supported its activities, up to the last moment of his life. He believed strongly in the value of homeland business and "made in the USA" merchandise, and throughout his entire career lost no opportunity to defend that principle whenever and wherever he found the opportunity.

He had a clear head and sound judgment and never failed to give good counsel to all who sought it of him. His son, Josiah, wrote that Samuel Shove "led a very active life mentally and physically, and his ruling aim seemed to be to do whatsoever came to his hand with all his might, deeming all honest work honorable, and only scorning to eat the bread of idleness or of dishonesty."2,3
