Born in Middleboro, Massachusetts, on 5 Jan. 1768, Lucy was one of the children of Edward Sherman and his wife Lucy Peterson. On 5 Jan. 1788 in Middleboro, Massachusetts, she married Job Shaw, son of Benjamin Shaw and Mary Atwood. After their marriage, they moved "up country" to Bridgewater, Vermont, where most of their children were born. By the time of the 1810 U.S. Census, Lucy and her family settled in Bloomfield, Ontario County, New York. In 1812, the town of Victor was formed from land that originally had been a part of Bloomfield, but it's not known if Job and Lucy's home thus became a part of Victor or rather that they moved to Victor.
The known children of Job and Lucy are John, Lucy, Experience ("Spede"), William E., Job Jr., Laura, Keziah, Benoni, and Manly Sherman. In addition, Shaw family tradition states that Job and Lucy also had children named Joshua, Patience, Welcome, and Sarah ("Sally").
It was in Victor where Lucy died on 18 May 1813, as mentioned in the 18 May 1813 edition of "The Western Repository," page 3, column 4, which briefly reports the death of "Mrs. Job Shaw" in Victor, New York.
The burial place of Lucy and her husband Job is unknown. It is possible that both Job and Lucy are buried in Victor Village Cemetery in graves that no longer have headstones or grave markers, but more likely they are buried in the burial ground that was adjacent to the old Proprietors Church of Victor.
