Gary, last night I was searching VAGenWeb and found the following:
Russell Co., VA Law Order Book 2[1792-1799]
P 306--Motion of Thomas Sherman, Milly Sherman is appointed his guardian, securities: Wm. Dollarhide and John Bunch [Burch].
P 309--Milley Sherman appointed guardian for Lucrecic [Lucretia] Sherman, Catherine Sherman, Charles Sherman and Nancy Sherman, infants and orphans of John Sherman deceased securities: Wm Dollarhide and John Burch.
[According to this John b. 1750 and Milley also had a child named Nancy which I do not have listed]
P 372--Power of attorney from Meredith Sherman to Wm. Dollarhide.
[This must be Milley]
Russell Co., VA Deed Book 3 Grantor Index
February 24, 1804
Ewing, Samuel attorney for Smith, Richard to Sherman, Thomas of London______ 21 acres on the waters of Clinch River in the New Garden ______ beginning adjoining Jacksons improvement ____ in a gap of the ridge _____
P 287--Indenture from Samuel Ewing attorney to Thomas Sherman, recorded.
Russell Co., VA Deed Book 4[1806-1814]
P 426--Sep 3, 1811 between John Thompson, Sr. and Thomas Sherman and John Thompson, Jr. ___on the head waters of Three Sinking Branches, the waters of Clinch River _____ beginning line between Thomas Sherman and John Burch.
P 517--Commonwealth vs. Eli Jackson, Jury: Thomas Sherman.
P 609--3 indentures from John Thompson, Sr., 1 to John Thompson, Jr., 1 to John Burch, 1 to Thomas Sherman.
P 701--Return of John Ferrall, Wm. Fletcher and Thomas Sherman viewed the proposed turn in the road by Wm. Thompson, Jr. between John Thompsons and John Brumleys, ordered to be established.
This seems to indicate that John b. 1750 died in Russell Co., VA. and before 1803 as Thomas would still be under the age of 21. And that Thomas was still there in Sep 1811 as stated in Deed Book 4. Appreciate any input you may have.
