Stephen was the son of Eber and Mary Sherman of Kingstowne, Rhode Island. He is known to have been married three times: (1) c. 1721 Sarah Freeman. b. say 1700, d. c. 1728; (2) at his home in N. Kingstown 18 Oct 1730 Margaret Hackstone, b. say 1695, d. 17 Nov 1748 and buried in Sherman Burial Yard on 18 Nov (per St. Paul's Episcopal Church Records as abstracted in the Gen Dict RI, v. 10); (3) Exeter 15 July 1749 Giffie Sweet. b. c. 1705, living in 1772 when mentioned in her husband's will. Stephen's will, dated 29 Feb 1772, was proved at N. Kingstown 3 Sep 1773. Stephen had four children with his first wife, born 1722 to 1727 and five more with his second wife, born 1731 to c. 1739.
Though there is no burial record for Stephen, he is likely buried here with his second wife, who was the mother of five of his nine children (his first wife may be here as well). The St. Paul's Episcopal Church records say that his second wife was buried in the "Sherman Burial Yard" which is likely this particular Sherman Cemetery where Stephen's brother William is buried.
