Biography

Mary Sherman was born 5 March 1656/7 in Watertown, Province of Massachusetts Bay to parents John Sherman and Mary Launce.[1][2]

She married on 26 May 1679 at Watertown, to Ellis Barron III, who was born at Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony on 22 Sep 1655.[3][4][5]

Their children (as listed by Jacobus) were:[4]

Mary, born about 1681 or 1682, d. 16 Apr 1747, married Samuel Billings
Samuel, b. 22 Apr 1685, d. 9 Jun 1771, married Abigail (Woods) Pierce, widow of Daniel Pierce Benjamin, b. about 1685, d. 13 Jul 1754, married Elizabeth Parris Elizabeth, b. 26 Oct 1687, married Nathaniel Graves Grace, b. about 1690, d. 13 Feb 1783, married Daniel Fowler Elias, b. about 1693, died in Lovewill's Fight in 1725, married Priscilla Wilson Mehitable, b. about 1697, d. 23 Jul 1744, married Ebenezer Staples Research Notes

The marriage record cited for Mary Sherman and Ellis Barron incorrectly states Ellis had a second wife named "Sarah Ingersoll". See New England Marriages Prior to 1700, Clarence Almon Torrey, Baltimore Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore 1985, 7th printing, 2004, p. 46.

This error was corrected by Donald Lines Jacobus in a paper published by The American Genealogist.[4] This research proved that Mary Sherman survived long enough to be the mother of all the children of Ellis Barron III.
