THE SHERMAN FAMILY.
The Shermans of Brimfield trace their ancestry from Rev. John Sherman, who came from England to Watertown in 1634. He was a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, which bestowed upon him the degrees of A. B. at 16 years of age, and A. M. at 20. At Water- town, at the age of 21, he preached a Thanksgiving sermon before many other divines, Mather says, who wondered exceedingly at the ability he displayed : Removing to the New Haven colony he was chosen one of its magistrates, but returned again to Watertown. He was struck with delirium and fever while preaching for his son at Sud- bury, 1685, and died aged 72. His grandson, John Sherman, son of Rev. James, removed to Springfield by invitation of the town to be- come grammar school teacher, but resigned that position and became a physician. He was especially active in the early history of Brim- field, bringing to the town his family of seven sons and a daughter, the eldest son, Bezaleel, being with himself a proprietor at the origi- nal distribution of lands. The abilities of the ex-schoolmaster seem to have been utilized in the new town, as " Capt. " John Sherman was for a long time " Proprietor's Clerk," and the town clerk of Brimfield from 1732 to 1761.
