Bernie..
Your Beulah Eunice Sherman and mine are one and the same
person.Are you also descended from William Curtis of
CT?Roger Sherman who signed the Declaration of
Independence was not my direct ancestor, but he was
related to Edmund Sherman who was descended from
Henry Sherman and Agnes Butter of Yaxley, England.
Actually I am descended from their son Edmund and his
son Edmund Jr while Winston Churchill was descended
from Henry's son Henry, Jr and so was George W. Bush.
My great-grandmother was a cousin of Wm T. Sherman,
and they were both from Ohio but the family came
originally from Stratford, Fairfield, CT.
I am leaving for a week but would very much like to discuss
this further when I return.
Thanks for writing.Beulah's father, by the way, was
named Nathaniel.Some of our family names were Phippen
or Phippeny, Mitchell, Butter, etc.
Regards,
Marilyn
