1817
SHERMAN
Ephraim Sherman, Jr., and his family came to town in 1817. His father, Ephraim Sherman, Sr., accompanied them, but his mother Mary Sherman remained east, expecting to join the family when it was well established in the new home. The Shermans were originally from Grafton, Mass., but in 1803 removed to Walpole, N. H., where they resided 14 years and again sold out and came to OH. The family were descendants of Roger Sherman, and were very proud of the fact. Mrs. Sherman, Remember Cooke, was born in Rhode Island, but married in Grafton, Mass.
Ephraim Sherman, Sr., and his son settled on Broadway, but seemed to be disappointed or dissatisfied with the conditions they encountered and the two men and older grandsons went to Vermilion, and built a large cabin of hewn logs, intending to make it the family home. The women, left alone, were in constant fear of Indians and wild animals which abounded in the vicinity. The former would frequently ask to stay all night by the Sherman fire-place, rolling themselves in their blankets and lying with their heads nearest the fire. At such times Mrs. Sherman and her daughters were too timid to sleep and kept vigil until dawn. The weird howling of wolves close to the cabin also was a sleep-destroyer. The early settlers kept a big bonfire going near by their homes in order to intimidate wild animals.
Once, Clarissa Sherman went to a spring for water, when an Indian sprang up from the thicket, and she ran for her life, screaming all the way home. But the red men meant no harm and doubtless understood that the Sherman household of women were afraid of them, and took advantage of it to have some fun with them.
Mary Sherman never came to OH, for her husband died in Vermilion in 1818. The following year, the whole family, who, meanwhile had moved to that town, were all very ill with malaria, and Ephraim, Jr., also died. He was buried in a cemetery that eventually was washed into the lake, and the bones of both father and son were carried away by the waves.
Mrs. Remember Cook Sherman, and all but three of her large family of children returned to Walpole. One of her daughters, Harriet Sherman Staffard, married and lived in a beautiful home in Lowell, Mass. Here the mother was tenderly cared for in her old age, and in every way possible, encouraged to forget the long years of change, trial and sore bereavement. She died in 1841, aged 78.
The three Sherman children remaining in Cleveland were Nancy, Clarissa and Remember. Nancy had become the second wife of Capt W. W. Williams, Jr., of Newburgh. Clarissa and Remember lived with her a year or two, then Clarissa married Arial Harris, son of Calvin and Susannah Bullock Harris, and Remember married Frederick Onstine of Amherst, OH.
