Sherman. The Sherman family has been connected with the County of Kent for about one hundred years. The first of the family concerning whom there is definite record is Lemuel Sherman, Sr., the grandfather of William and Lemuel Sherman of Thamesville. He was born in England, and settled in the County of Kent, in Ontario, near the present site of Thamesville, prior to the war of 1812... His wife's maiden name was Sarah Camp, and she became the mother of the following children: David, Sally, Mary Ann and Polly. For his second wife he married a Miss Reynolds, by whom he had one son, Edward.
     David Sherman, son of Lemuel, was born on the Sherman homestead at Thamesville and he passed his entire life in that locality, engaged in farming. He laid out a part of the village of Thamesville and his son, Lemuel (2), the remainder, the town being located on a part of the original Sherman homestead... David Sherman married Ann Call, daughter of Lemuel Call, by which union he became the father of the following children: Lemuel (2), Sarah, Elsie, Priscilla, Elizabeth, Jane, Mary, William and Lomila. The father died in 1865...
     William Sherman, son of David, was born Aug. 30, 1843, on the old Sherman home. Here he grew to manhood, and on the old farm a portion of which he now owns, he has devoted his life to agricultural pursuits and stock raising. In 1878 he married Agnes McFarlen, daughter of John McFarlen, by whom he has seven children: George, John, Edgar, Margaret Elizabeth, William, James and Agnes.
