About Alden Sherman
He was the first blacksmith in the township.
The Sherman Family Burying Ground, Bennington Township, Morrow County, Ohio contains several family graves: "This has been a small family burial plot and is almost gone. Two legible stones remain, one broken and fallen, and the bases for three others still remain, but the stones themselves gone. What might be the base of a fourth stone - a block of heavy sandstone - looks as if it had been removed from its original position. This spot is on the east side of SR61 and perhaps a mile north of Fargo. It is a mile south of the old Vining Cemetery. The present Delaware-Morrow County line is 1 or 1-1/2 miles south of this Sherman Cemetery. At the time of the first burials it was part of Delaware County. The cemetery is in a field directly opposite the site of the old Sherman homestead, now torn away and replaced by the recently built home of Bob Richeson. The house was built about 1825-1827 of brick. Mr. Sherman at that time owned 3,000 acres which he got from the government on Revolutionary Service. Copied March 17, 1952 (which is when the preceding was written) .25 acre."
The stones that remain are:
SHERMAN, Peleg T. died Sept. 23, 1865 - Ae 70y 8m __d. Stone broken and fallen, old sandstone slab
SHERMAN, Harriet L., w/o John F., died May 18, 1849 - Ae 21y 9m. This is the only stone standing and can be seen from the highway in winter, but likely hidden by vegetation later in year. Harriet probably a daughter-in-law.
The name Peleg Sherman in 1790 census in Albany Co., New York and this Peleg T. Sherman might have been a son. Peleg Thomas also in that county, three of the name together.
