• Property: 20 Apr 1837, Columbia, Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA

Notes:

Arrives:
The first family settled Savoy in Sep 1777. Within ten years there were 35 families, including Joseph Williams Jr (husband of Nathan Sherman's sister, Experience) of Taunton. And Peleg Hathaway, Nathan Sherman, and William Reed of Middleborough. The town of Savoy does not start showing up on maps until 1825.

Arrives:
Year of arrival based on birth of daughter Rebeckah. Nathan resided in Colrain until at least 1830 but probably until 1837 when Danforth Whiting (Rebeckah's husband) deeds him property in PA.

Died:
I cannot find Nathan in the 1840 Census. He may have been living with his daughter Rebecca Whiting. The 1840 census shows a male between 60 and 69 living in the Whiting household) and Nathan's wife was living with Rebecca in the 1850 census.

Nathan married Rebeckah Williams on 19 Apr 1788 in Adams, Berkshire, Massachusetts, USA. Rebeckah was born about 1771 in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, USA; died on 29 Oct 1864 in Covington, Tioga, Pennsylvania, USA; was buried in Fries Cemetery. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1850, Columbia, Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA; Living with daughter Rebecca (Sherman) Whiting and her husband Danforth Whiting
• Residence: 1860, Covington, Tioga, Pennsylvania, USA; Living with daughter Rebecca (Sherman) Whiting and her husband Danforth Whiting

Notes:

Birth:
Who are Rebeckah's parents? The source "Some of the Descendants of Philip Sherman" states she is the daughter of Abigail Williams. Father's name is not mentioned. There are trees that have her father's name as Lemuel. Where the heck does that even come from? No sources were given nor have any been found so it's all speculation.

Many trees have her parents as Abigail Briggs (1742-1815) and Lemuel Williams (1742-1833). The problem is Abigail did not marry Lemuel until 4 years after Rebeckah was born, a date we only think is abt 1771. If we change that to say 1776 so she is shown as born after the marriage, it would make her too young to have married Nathan Sherman in 1787. Now, Lemuel was married prior to Abigail to Molly Jones in 1769. Possible that Rebeckah was their child.

Other trees have her parents as Rebecca Otis and a different Lemuel Williams. There WAS a Rebecca born of this marriage born 5 Apr 1778 BUT that date would make her too young to have married Nathan Sherman in 1787. So this would not be Rebeckah's parents.

In the end, though, we know nothing of her parents, and definitely not her father's name.
