The "Introduction" explains the generation numbering system which begins with the American Lineage and how the records have been logically organized and printed.

We the "Seneca County Ohio Shermans" are indebted to our cousin Alonzo Sherman of Oscoda Michigan whose efforts and computer have stored all of our family records for this publication and future updates. Alonzo's great-great grandfather is Alden Sherman (1802-1881) shown above, and the others are his siblings.

We are also indebted to all the cousins who have furnished input, but especially those descendants of Zephaniah's daughter Rachel.

For those of you who are interested in more of your Sherman family history you may order any of the various sections as shown below in the Introduction. Order directly from Alonzo at the address show in the introduction.

We hope you will enjoy this family history and after reading about your cousins you will decide to attend the annual Sherman reunion at the Hedges-Boyer Park in Tiffin, Ohio at noon on the fourth Sunday of August. The 1995 reunion will be the 75th and should be a big one.

Very truly yours

Eldon E Sherman

INTRODUCTION

The Seneca Co OH Shermans - Part II is jointly compiled by Eldon and Alonzo Sherman, and is was last published January 23 1995 by Eldon Sherman, 86 Wentz St, Tiffin OH 44883. The Seneca Co OH Shermans - Part I included Howland Sherman and his descendants, was last published October 10 2000.

The Seneca Co OH Shermans - Part I & II are part of the overall Sherman Genealogy 1433-2000s, compiled by Alonzo Joseph Sherman 308 W Dwight St, Oscoda MI 48750.

The system used for numbering our American ancestors starts with Philip Sherman the first "Sherman" in our family who came to America in 1633. The generation number is shown in superscript as Philip1 Sherman. Each following generation is given the next higher number: Philip's sons and daughters are shown as John2 Sherman and Sarah2 Sherman etc.

The generation numbers show the order of the generations, and are not intended to show direct lineage.

All "allied names", for the purpose of organizing this manuscript, are given the generation number of the "Sherman" they are associated with.

The six "English Sherman" ancestors preceding Philip1 Sherman are shown as Thomas1E Sherman (1433-1492) thru Samuel6E Sherman (1574-1615): Samuel6E Sherman is the father of Philip1 Sherman.

Within a family branch each family group is shown in generation sequence, with the oldest generation first and the youngest generation last.

The information for each family group is divided into three parts. The first part is some summary information. The second part is detailed information about the parents presented in an dated event sequence: Which contains where they were born, lived, died and buried; their occupation; their marriage; and other items of interest. The third part is detailed information about the children: Which immediately follows the parents' information and is in the same format as the parents. Children are shown in order from the oldest to the youngest.

For women, when both the maiden and married surnames are used together, the married name is shown last and is in parenthesis.

References used infrequently are spelled out and shown in parenthesis following the normal text. References used frequently are abbreviated to conserve space and are also shown in parenthesis following the text. The abbreviations explained in the Reference at the end of this paper.

This genealogy is an on going project and is being updated continuously. We have done a large amount of original research on the newer generations of Shermans, starting at generation 6 (Elihu Sherman 1777-1841), much of which has not been published before. Most information for the older generations have been previously published.

The basic identification of ancestors is complete, to our knowledge. The textual information about the ancestors is quite extensive (about 500 pages) and it is always being added to.

The Sherman Genealogy: 1433-2000s is prepared for our family. It is not intended to be published in book form. However, it was made available on microfilm in 1995 from the Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in their Family History Center's. The information is currently kept on an IBM compatible computer in MS-Word format, in a manuscript format. This is because it is easier to update, and also it is possible to easily produce current extracts any time one is requested.

We gladly furnish copies of the genealogy at cost, or any part of it, to those requesting it. The genealogy is organized so selected parts can be printed for other people, as generally only our family would find all of it applicable. The parts of the Sherman Genealogical: 1433-2000s that are applicable to the Seneca Co OH Shermans are:

Sec 2B England (English Ancestors), 8 pages
