Notes:

Thomas Sherman was possibly descended from Richard le Sherman, merchant, of Hythe - located not far from nearby Colchester- who in the reign of Edward I, on July 8, 1274 at Westminister was granted a license to trade in wool; and he was almost certainly descended from John Sherman who paid twelve pence in taxes in Yaxley in 1327 and from Henry, John's son, who was receiver of money for the Prior of Eye in County Suffolk near Yaxley. He lived in both Diss and Yaxley, and he had two children named John and Agnes. It is recorded that he was a lawyer, that he served as church warden of the Yaxley Parish and that he was a "man forceful and interesting". His will was written in Latin, and gave his son John his property in Diss and Yaxley. Diss is a small village in the English county of Norfolk on the North bank of the Waveney River about seventy-five miles northeast of London. The Waveney marks the boundary between the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk and the village of Yaxley is close to Diss on the south side of the river. (This is "Constable Country" for it was in Dedham - only thirty miles to the south - that John Constable grew up and from many of his landscapes you can visualize the countryside familiar to generations of our Sherman ancestors.)
