b. 18 June 1616, d. 14 June 1691
Father* | Edmund Sherman1 b. s 1572, d. bt 29 Oct 1640 - May 1641 | |
Mother* | Grace Makin1 b. s 1578 |
Baptism* | 18 June 1616 | Grace Sherman was baptized on 18 June 1616 at Dedham, Essex County, England.1,2 |
(Daughter) Religion | Although Grace's father had sent her brother John to Immanuel College in Cambridge for his religious training, her 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 | |
(Daughter) Immigration | April 1634 | According to the Sherman Genealogy source, Grace sailed with her 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.1,3,4,5,6 |
(Daughter) Residence | June 1634 | The family arrived at Watertown, Massachusetts Bay Colony (New England), in June 1634 where, "under a tree," Grace's brother John preached his first sermon as an assistant to the pastor.7,1 |
Marriage* | say 1635 | She married John Livermore, son of Daniel Livermore and Elizabeth Hammond, say 1635.2 |
(Daughter) Relocation | 29 May 1635 | Grace and her husband John were among the group of members from the church at Watertown who were dismissed on 29 May 1635 to go and form a new church in Wethersfield, New Haven Colony, Connecticut, with Grace's brother John Sherman as their first minister. Grace's parents and many others in their extended family also made the move.7,1,8 |
Relocation* | 1640 | Following their minister and others from the church, Grace and John Livermore moved again in 1640 to New Haven, New Haven Colony.9 |
Residence* | 1650 | They returned to settle in Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony (New England), in 1650.9 |
(Wife) Death | 14 April 1684 | Grace became a widow when John Livermore died on 14 April 1684.2 |
Death* | 14 June 1691 | She died on 14 June 1691 in Chelmsford, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony (New England), at age 74.2 |

(Cousin) Immigration | April 1634 | According to the Sherman Genealogy source, John immigrated to New England with the family of his father's cousin Edmund Sherman, sailing from Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, in the ship Elizabeth during " the last of April 1634". 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.2,3,4,5,6 |

Baptism | 4 January 1613/14 | and was baptized on 4 January 1613/14 in Dedham.3 |
Education* | John was educated at Immanuel College, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. Being a Puritan like his father, however, he realized he couldn't conform to the requirements of the Established Church and refused to graduate.4,2 | |
(Son) Religion | Although his father had sent him 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.2 | |
(Son) Immigration | April 1634 | According to the Sherman Genealogy source, John 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.

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.2,5,6,7,8 |
Residence* | June 1634 | The family arrived at Watertown, Massachusetts Bay Colony (New England), in June 1634 where, "under a tree," John preached his first sermon as an assistant to the pastor, Mr. George Phillips. John's sister Hester and her husband Andrew Ward had immigrated and settled in Watertown the previous year.4,2 |
Relocation* | 29 May 1635 | When 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, his parents and many others in their extended family also made the move.4,2,9 |
Marriage* | He married first Mary Gibbs. They probably married in New Haven Colony, Connecticut.10,11,12 | |
Occupation* | 8 November 1640 | He remained in Wethersfield until 7 May 1640, and was next called to the church at Milford, New Haven Colony, where he was installed on 8 November 1640. The General Court of New Haven Colony, on 24 November 1640, designated him as one of five men chosen by it to be Magistrates of the Colony.4 |
(Husband) Death | 8 September 1644 | John became a widower when Mary (Gibbs) Sherman died on 8 September 1644.4,3 |
Marriage* | He married second Mary Launce, daughter of John Launce and Susan Darcy, probably in Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut.1,4,13 | |
Occupation | 8 November 1647 | He was dismissed from the church at Milford on 8 November 1647 and was called back to his original New England church at Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony (New England). The Reverend Mr. George Phillips had died in 1644, and John became Watertown's third pastor. He was admitted Freeman of that town on 19 May 1669.4 |
Death* | 8 August 1685 | He died on 8 August 1685 in Watertown at age 71.1,4,3 |

Mother* | Grace Makin1 b. s 1578 |
Baptism* | 12 July 1618 | Samuel Sherman was baptized on 12 July 1618 at Dedham, Essex County, England.1,2,3 |
(Son) Religion | Although 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) Immigration | April 1634 | According 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) Residence | June 1634 | The 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) Relocation | 29 May 1635 | When 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 1640 | He married Sarah Mitchell, daughter of Matthew Mitchell, circa 1640.3 |
Death* | 5 April 1700 | He died on 5 April 1700 in Stratford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, at age 81.3 |
