His great-grandfather was the younger brother of judge John Sherman, the writer of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman. His grandmother, Bertha Bartlett Sherman, was a descendant of Josiah Bartlett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
He was born John Sherman 17 April 1934 in Maracaibo, Municipio Maracaibo, Zulia, Venezuela,
to Hoyt Sherman, an oil and gas company president, and Katherine Floyd-Jones, who was born in Montana just one year after the state entered the union. While his two older sisters were born in Newport, Rhode Island, Sherman was born in Venezuela when his father was a vice president of the Mene Grande Oil Company (100 percent of the shares were owned by Gulf).
He grew up in both the United States and Venezuela, and frequently made trips abroad as a young man. He relocated to Europe and became a resident of the United Kingdom.
On 26 March 1969 he married Alexandra Susan Anne Carnegie, daughter of Raymond Alexander Carnegie and Patricia Elinor Trevor Dawson. They had three sons: Charles Alexander Hoyt Sherman, Ian Andrew Henry Sherman (1972-2009), and Peter Anthony Carnegie Sherman.
