She 1st married John Sherman, who died in England before 1617. Their son, John Sherman, also came to Watertown in 1634. Another son, Richard Sherman, may also have come to New England, and may have been living in England in 1662.

notes

From http://www.skives.net/genealogy/tng/getperson.php?personID=I19667&t...

One Sherman genealogy gives Grace's maiden name as "Makin", daughter of Tobias Makin; 'The Ancestry of James Morgan Sherman' states that Grace was "possibly" a daughter of Tobias Makin. It also states: "It has long been stated that Grace (Sherman) Rogers married for her third husband, William Palmer, of Hampton, Mass., the father-in-law of Capt. John Sherman. This is incorrect. (Vide, page 32)". Her third husband was Roger Porter.

More recent research reveals her maiden name was RAVENS - and article in the Apr 1987 issue of The American Genealogist titled "The English Origin of Grace (Ravens) (Sherman) (Rogers) Porter and Mary (Ravens) Coolidge of Watertown, Mass." by Michael Wood. Grace's ancestry is from that article.

Essex," 62 [Apr-Jul 1987] : 65-77; 161-170., in The American Genealogist (TAG). (Donald Lines Jacobus, et.al.), (at 62:76-77). “GRACE(1) RAVENS (Rev. Richard(A), William(B)) was probably born at East Bergholt, co. Suffolk, ca. 1591 and died at Watertown, Mass., on 3 June 1662. She married first at Wattisfield, co. Suffolk, on 26 Sept. 1611 JOHN SHERMAN, who was baptized at Dedham, co. Essex, on 17 Aug. 1585, son of Henry and Susan (Lawrence) Sherman and nephew of the Edmund Sherman whose tenant Grace's father had been. He was buried at Great Horkesley, co. Essex, on 24 Jan. 1615[/6]. Grace married secondly THOMAS ROGERS of Dedham, co. Essex, with whom she emigrated to New England ca. 1634. He was a proprietor of Watertown, Mass., 1636-37, admitted freeman 17 May 1637, and died there on 12 Nov. 1638, aged 50 (Bond p. 412). Grace married thirdly, as his second wife, ROGER PORTER of Watertown, who as a husbandman from Long Sutton, Hampshire, had emigrated in September 1638, aged 55, with four daughters. He was admitted freeman of Watertown 22 May 1639 and was made a selectman of Watertown in 1648, where he died on 3 April 1654 (Bond pp. 406-7, 910). (Bond [p. 865] is the source of the erroneous statement that Grace also married William(1) Palmer of Newbury; Grace's son John Sherman was a son-in-law of Palmer, not because Palmer was his stepfather but because John Sherman had married William Palmer's daughter Martha.) The undated will of Grace Porter was proved 17 June 1662 (Middlesex Co. PR File 12652), and has been printed in full in NEHGR 51 (1897) : 314. She named her son John Sherman, her daughter Elizabeth Smith, several grandchildren, and "my brother John Cooledge."”
