GEDCOM Note

"8. Benjamin Sherman, youngest son of Phillip, was born at Portsmouth, R. I., in 1650; died there Sept 12, 1719; married, Dec 3, 1674, Hannah Mowry, who was born at Providence, R. I., Sept. 28, 1656 and died at Portsmouth in 1718. They had four sons and eight daughters. Amie, second daughter and fifth child, is mentioned in her fathers will: "I give and bequeath to my daughter Amie, the wife of Stephen Gardner, one cow." This genealogy gives the date of Amie's marriage to Stephen Gardner as 1700. Some Gardnier genealogies have made the date 1701, but according to the birth of their first child, it must have been 1700." p. 43 Gardiner-Gardner Genealogy
