SHERMAN The name Sherman is a syn- onym for intellectual power, political honors, glory in war,
high achievement in constructive statesman- ship, and unquestionably bears the mark of hereditary genius like the Washburne family in Maine, the Adams in Massachusetts, the Blairs in Missouri, and the Davis family in Maryland. The line can hoast of such men as Roger Sherman, signer of the Declaration of Independence, John Sherman, General Sher- man, William M. Evarts, the brothers, Hoar E. and George F. Rockwood, and James Schoolcraft Sherman, of New York. From shearman, a shearer of the shcep, the name comes, and it was a case where the calling furnished the man his name. "Villain! thy father was a plasterer and thyself a shearman.' -- Shakespeare. Essexshire was the home of the family.
(I) William (1) Sherman was in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1632, but probably came in 1629, and died there October 25, 1679. The governor and company of London gave him liberty to bring his kin from Northampton, and he embarked in the fleet with Higginson. At Green Harbor ( Marshfield) land was granted him in 1640. He was honorable and upright and secured a comfortable competency to hand down to his children. He married Prudence Hill, at Marshfield, and there he con- tinued to reside and reared up a family, among whom were John and William.
(II) William (2), son of William (I) and Prudence (Hill) Sherman, was born in 1645, and buried November 17, 1680. He served in King Phillip's war in 1676, and there received injuries for which he obtained twenty pounds from the colony. He was made prisoner by the red men and witnessed the horrid atroci- ties visited upon some of his companions, but from which he in a measure escaped. At one time he held the office of constable. He mar- ried Desire, daughter of Edwin and Faith (Clarke) Doty, a "Mayflower" passenger who landed on forefather's rock and was one of the forty-four who signed the cabin compact.

This line has the double honor of Pilgrim de- scent on both sides of the house. Chiklren : Eleazer, Ebenezer, Hannah, William, Patience and Experience. His widow married Israel Holmes and, after his decease, Alexander Standish, eldest son and heir of Myles Stand- ish.
( III) Eleazer, son of William (2) and De- sire ( Doty ) Sherman, was a native of Marsh- field. and took up his local habitation at Booth- bay, Maine, his death occurring in March, 1826. He married ( first) Elizabeth Lapham, ( second) Susan Wylie, ( third) Martha Reed ; children of first wife: Eleazer, Aaron, Elisha, Roger, Elizabeth, Joseph, William, Lydia, Rob- ert, John, Abiel, Daniel and George; Susan was by second wife.
(IV) Aaron, second son of Eleazer and Elizabeth (Lapham) Sherman, was born at Boothbay, July 10, 1772, died September 4, 1845. He joined the settlement at Newcastle, Maine, in 1799, and was in the war of 1812. The history of Newcastle goes back to 1625, five years later than the Pilgrims at fore- father's rock. Newcastle was bought of the Indians for fifty beaver-skins. Aaron married Polly Tarbell, of Dedham, Massachusetts, May IO, 1796; she was born June 29, 1777: chil- dren : Eleazer and Aaron.
(V) Aaron (2), youngest son of Aaron (1) and Polly ( Tarbell) Sherman, was born March 27, 1799, the very year his father took up his abode in the ancient settlement. He selected Newcastle, Maine, for a home, and married Maria, daughter of Peter Patterson, of Newcastle. Children : Albion A., Joshua P .. Maria Patterson, Adeline S., Sophronia, Charlotte, Lorenda. Edward F. and Alden E.
(VI) Albion A., eldest son of Aaron (2) and Maria (Patterson) Sherman, was born in Newcastle, where the waters of the Damaris- cotta and the Sheepscot meet. He removed to Sullivan, Hancock county, on the easterly bank of the Taunton river. an inlet of French- man's bay. The town was once named New Bristol, the Indian title of which was Waukeag. He was a stone-cutter by trade and foreman of a gang. He believed the people were best served in civil polity when democratically gov- erned and the highest administrative re- sults were attained in the rules of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland. He married Phoebe, daughter of John French, of Franklin, Maine.
(VII) William Henry, son of Albion A. and Phoebe (French) Sherman, was born in Sul- livan, October 4. 1865. He was graduated from the little old red schoolhouse, but he was an omniverous reader and he supplemented
the curriculum of the district school with post- graduate reading. Schooling received in this primitive fashion is practical, hard-earned, and is appreciated. From school he went to the printing office and this is a university in it- self. He learned his trade on the Mount Des- ert Herald, and arose in the profession to man- ager of the Bar Harbor Record. He was as- sistant postmaster of Bar Harbor during the Cleveland regime. He is of Democratic pro- clivities and has been town clerk of Bar Har- bor since 1899, a candidate of his party for representative in 1896 and for register of probate in 1908, which is reflective of the con- fidence placed in him by his townspeople. He is at present and for a number of years has been conducting a book and stationery store and a book and job printing office. His fra- ternal affiliations embrace membership in the Bar Harbor Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Island Lodge, Independent Order Odd Fellows, Porcupine Lodge, Knights of Pyth- ias, and Bay View Grange. He is an Episco- palian, and president of Bar Harbor Savings Bank. He married, October 23, 1889, Annie E. Smith, of his old native place, Sullivan. Children : Dorothy, Helen, Gladys, Hilda, Roger and Ruth.
SPOFFORD Among the beautiful hills of Chesterfield, New Hamp- shire, lies Spofford Lake, so dear to the hearts of the many who have looked out upon its silvery waters. It was named for one of the early settlers of the town, and is in many ways a fine type of the life of this grand old family. Only in the time of heavy rains can a stream be found flowing into the lake, and then the grasses and mosses hush the sound of tumult in the waters. The declaration of all the old settlers that the lake has a hidden spring of great strength and purity for its supply seems to be true. Quietly the bright waters have given health and inspiration to thousands since God's hand set it among the hills. The Indians loved it, the earliest settlers stood entranced on its shores, and now many tourists take of its joy and strength, while those who dwelt in the old town have gone far and wide to carry its blessed influences. By its shores played the boy who grew into the famous sculptor, Larkin G. Meade. Here roamed Edwin D. Meade. famous for his work in the Peace Society. Hither came often Rudyard Kipling when he wrote among the Vermont hills. So the Spof- ford family have ever been taking in the things of God's own strength, and giving them

out to the world without tumult or babbling, through the long years since "John Spoffod, Ye true man of God and His Worde," settled in old Rowley, Massachusetts. All old deeds and wills of the family give praise to "Him, the only One from whence we have strength and life." Of the grand success of the others of later generations it might well be written : "This was not of the world's noise and tumult. The secret is in the hidden springs of God's love, and generously have they given in all towns where they have dwelt of worldly goods, time, strength, genius like that of the wonder- ful Spofford so long librarian of congress ; and withal without a trumpet sounding." Truly Spofford Lake speaks their worth !
(I) John Spofford came from England to America in 1638 with a company of choice Christian men and women, which were led by the wise and worthy Rev. Ezekiel Rogers. John Spofford became one of the most ener- getic founders of the town of Rowley, Massa- chusetts. It seems most probable that this Spofford ancestor in America who came thither with the sturdy band of Dissenters, was son to him of the same name and faith who was made vicar of Selkirk in England in 1642. The American ancestor left the home country during the civil wars which preceded the de- thronement of Charles I. The name of John Spofford appears in the record of the first division of land at Rowley, and the homestead lots were near the center of the present town of Rowley. He had a house lot of one and a half acres on Bradford street. Lots were also assigned to him in "the fresh meadows, the salt meadows, the village lands, the Merrimack lands, and others in the ox pasture, the cow pasture and in the calf pasture." This, and the many other things which appear in the early records, clearly indicate how worthily John Spofford was regarded in that colony of most worthy people. After living in Rowley for some thirty years, Mr. Spofford removed to "Spofford Hill," in the west part of the town, and he was without doubt the first settler in Georgetown, and also the progenitor of all who bear the Spofford name in the United States and Canada. He married Elizabeth Scott. of Ipswich, Massachusetts.
(II) Samuel ( I), son of John and Elizabeth (Scott) Spofford, married Sarah Bisbee.
(III) Samuel (2), son of Samuel ( 1) and Sarah ( Bisbee) Spofford. settled in Boxford, Massachusetts, where he became one of the leading citizens ; he married Mary Stickney.
(IV) Amos, son of Samuel (2) and Mary (Stickney) Spofford, was born in Boxford,
and was a man of great worth. He married Abigail Pearl.
(V) Daniel, son of Amos and Abigail ( Pearl) Spofford, was born February 18, 1766, and was a man of very enterprising char- acter. He early removed to Maine, and after his marriage settled in Bucksport, and he and his children were among the most highly es- teemed people of that fine old town. He mar- ried Phoebe Peters, of the sturdy old family of that name at Blue Hill, Maine; children : I. Parker, born September 23, 1796. 2. Fred- erick, February 28, 1798. 3. Franklin, No- vember 16, 1799. 4. Ruby, March 28, 1802. 5. Fisher A., June 26, 1808. 6. Charlotte, July 7, 1812. 7. Emeline, October 7, 1816.
(VI) Frederick, son of Daniel and Phoebe (Peters) Spofford, was born February 28, 1798, died November 20, 1885. The most of his life was spent in Bucksport. He was a man of sterling worth, of a retiring disposi- tion, and avoided notoriety in every form. His wife, Augusta ( Parker) Spofford, was born in Billerica, Massachusetts, in 1814, died Septen- ber 25, 1885. She was of one of the strongest of the old Bay State families. Children : Phebe Ann, born September 29, 1840, died in Denver, Colorado, March 6, 1905 : married, in February, 1876, William B. Lawson, a civil engineer of distinction, who died in January, 1901, in Denver, where they made their home subsequent to 1886. Parker (q. v.).
(VII) Hon. Parker, son of Frederick and Augusta ( Parker) Spofford, was born in Bucksport, July 12, 1842. His elementary education was acquired in the town schools. He prepared for college at the famous East Maine Conference Seminary at Bucksport, and graduated from Dartmouth College in the class of 1865. In the autumn of the year of his graduation he went west and engaged in civil engineering, and for seven years was employed by railroad companies, four years of that peri- od being spent in locating and constructing the Burlington and Missouri River line, which is a part of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy system. Returning to Maine in 1872, Mr. Spofford was engaged to survey and con- struct the Bangor and Bucksport, Maine, rail- road, which was completed in 1874. He has also done much engineering work on other railway lines, among them the Katahdin Iron Works railway, the Lime Rock railway, in Knox county, Maine, and the Portland and Rumford Falls railway. In 1893 he constructed a bridge at Rumford Falls over the Andros- coggin river. At the present time, 1908, Mr. Spofford is one of the railroad commissioners

of the state of Maine. He is one of the most energetic and public-spirited business men of castern Maine, and is philanthropic and hon- orable in word and deed. He is beloved by the hundreds among whom lie is so well known. He has been a very active and help- ful member of the Bucksport school board for many years. Ile was a representative to the Maine legislature in 1883-89, and was a mem- ber of the council of Governor Burleigh in 1891-92. Ile is a staunch Republican in poli- tics. He is connected with several fraternal organizations, including the Ancient Order of United Workmen, which he served in 1889 in the capacity of grand master workman of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. In 1870 Mr. Spofford married Mary E. Spofford, of Dixon, Illinois, a descendant of John Spofford, the pioneer ancestor, of Rowley, Massachusetts. She died November 13, 1903.
