My GGGGF Moses Sherman was not a son of David Sherman. I know he (Moses) came to Herkimer Co. NY with Samuel Sherman, son of David, and it is written in "Norway Tidings" they are probably related tho not brothers. I think Moses descends from a brother of David, most likely Ebenezer b.@1737. In the 1800 US census Moses and an Ebenezer Sherman are neighbors in Norway twp.,NY...in 1805 Ebenezer sold his land to Samuel Sherman of Norway...when Moses sold his land in 1814 he sold out to Joshua Benjamin whose wife Priscilla was a daughter of Samuel Sherman. Moses is possibly a grandson of Ebenezer Shearman b.1701 of RI via either Ebenezer [1737] or another son as Moses is closley associated with many members of Ebenezer [1701] sons and grandchildren in NY.

Happy to disconnect if you'd feel more comfortable. My personal opinion is that the article in Norway Tidings is a bit fast and loose with the conclusions.

Moses came to Herkimer County before 1796, and probably with Samuel Sherman who came in 1793 from Cambridge in Washington Co. Moses was Samuel Sherman's nearest neighbor on the west. Moses' wife was the first person buried in the Samuel Sherman graveyard. The 1800 census of Herkimer county shows six Shermans, living in three groups. Ebenezer, Samuel, and Moses are in one group (pp. 597-98), then Abel Sherman (p. 434), and Lemuel and another Samuel (p. 473). I identify this Ebenezer as Samuel's brother Ebenezer (1764) rather than his uncle Ebenezer (1737), so we'd be looking at three brothers rather than a man, his uncle, and some kind of cousin. An 1810 tax list for Herkimer County shows four Shermans (Moses, Umphrey, Wright, and Samuel). This Humphrey and Wright were sons of Samuel.

I think it's a good first approximation Moses and Samuel were brothers, so I've been interested in evidence for and against. Here's where the Norway Tidings article falls short, in my opinion. It's been a good 30 years since I read it, and my copy is now in storage, but if I remember correctly it just throws out the idea they aren't brothers as a conclusion without any actual analysis. I could be wrong. If you have a copy, maybe you could attach it to Moses' profile here for future reference.

What I see when I look for concrete info is that Moses' birthdate is derived from the age at death on his tombstone. I think we all know to treat such birthdates with caution. Then too, back when I was researching this line, the popular theory was that this Moses was son of another Moses (born 1732), of Brimfield, Mass., so was probably born there, although there is no record of his birth. The problem with this theory has always been that it is difficult to account for the close association of Moses (1769) to Samuel Sherman, if Moses (1769) was a son of Moses (1732).

None of this establishes Moses as a brother of Samuel, of course, but I think it remains the leading theory.
