Henry Sherman

  General Notes:

I've seen Edmund's second son, Edmund, in place of Henry in many genealogies. I used Henry, which I found reading about the Sherman family in NEHGR vol 24 pages 63-157.

In the Ancestry of Rev. John Shermand and Capt. John Sherman the linage is given as the father of Rev. John Sherman is Edmund Sherman (son of Edmund, son of Henry) and Anne Pellatte.
