Parentage for Hannah Sherman

Question

Hello!

I've hit a road block trying to find the parentage for Hannah Sherman Sherman-5457

I know her parents are John Sherman and Mary. According to the Find A Grave, site, her mother is Mary Batchelder, but I can't find any record of a John Sherman and Mary Batchelder. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 2

There were lots of Shermans in early New England, and I've run across some other Batchelders in Worcester County.

In Grafton during that same time period I find https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sherman-2526 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sherman-2524. Earlier generations in their family had lots of children, only a few of whom have WikiTree profiles. If you delve into the sources for these men's family, you have a good chance of finding John Sherman who married Mary Batchelder.
