Biography

Jacob Albrecht "J A" Sherman was born on 16 October 1821 at Lancaster, Pennsylvania.[1].[2] He was the son of Amaziah Sherman (abt.1798-1842) and wife Eliza (last name unknown).[3]

He married Maria Brown on 11 February 1848 at Baltimore, Maryland, United States.[4]

By 1850 he was living in New Orleans and was a physician, inventor, and owner of a truss (hernia) manufacturing business located at 70 St. Charles Street. His first wife Josephine "Maria" Brown Sherman died in 1855 approximately 2 months after the birth of her daughter Eliza, aka Lililian Sherman. By 1860, he married Margareth Hayes and had 2 additional children while living in New Orleans: Stonewall Jackson Sherman, born 25 July 1862, and Mary Teresa Sherman (abt.1865-aft.1915) “Mamie” born June 1865.

January 1861, Louisiana voted to secede from the Union and in 1862 New Orleans was captured by Union forces. Jacob and family remained in New Orleans thru the Civil War. In 1866, J A Sherman sailed on the mail steamship "Morning Star" from Havana, Cuba to New Orleans, Louisiana, with his wife and 3 children.

On 8 December 1862, Jacob A Sherman sold unidentified property in Orleans County, Louisiana to Thomas White.[5]

During a lawsuit brought before the Supreme Court of Louisiana, January 1867, Case No.552, Valentine St Ceran vs J. A. Sherman, Sherman was determined to have been insolvent as of June 1864 and, thus, was not held accountable for a bet on a horse race in which he did not produce a horse. The judgement states "that his horses had been seized and sold, and it was not known what he was doing for his living; two or three years before the trial below (1864), he was keeping a truss store, and one witness thinks that store was sold out by the sheriff. ...$3,000 would be very little for a wealthy man, but it was an eccessive (sic) and large amount for Sherman, who could not pay his debts, having judgments and executions hanging over his head without apparent means wherewith to pay them."[6]

Jacob and Margareth had three more children while living in New York: George W Sherman born about 1866; Alexander Hamilton Sherman born 11 September 1868; and Levenia F. E. Sherman born July 1875.

The 19 July 1867 Passenger Manifest of the Steamship Raleigh from Havana (Cuba) & New Orleans arriving New York, listed J A Sherman, Artistic Surgeon, US Citizen, "intent to become inhabitant of U.S." (no other Shermans listed).[7]

The Army Medical Library held a copy of "Rupture and its Radical Cure by Dr. J. A. Sherman's Method, with an extract from an article on the radical cure of inguinal hernia by W. T. Leonard, M.D." The book contains a photograph of Dr. Jacob A. Sherman, letters from patients describing their cures, and the results of a Supreme Court case where he was found not guilty of publishing inappropriate photographs (of hernia patients) in the supplement to his book. The referenced supplement is missing from the book since it was published as a separate document. (source: Google books public domain; originally held by the National Library of Medicine). A copy of the supplement titled “Illustrated cases of bad ruptures radically cured, by the application and use of Dr. J. A. Sherman’s patent appliances and currative coumpound (New York, 1867?)” was located in the Library of Congress archives. Dr. Sherman’s nonsurgical treatment of hernia was graphically illustrated in the pages of this extremely rare pamphlet which was published through 1880 (at least). A copy of “Illustrated Supplement to Dr. J. A. Sherman’s Pamphlet on Hernia and Its Cure (New York, 1880)” was gifted to the Library Company of Philadelphia in 2011. According to the Annual Report of the Library Company of Philadelphia for 2011 (page 31): “Over a period of eleven years, Dr. Sherman was three times the target of Anthony Comstock, who considered the distribution of this pamphlet through the mail a violation of the Comstock Act of 1873. Comstock argued that the illustrations were obscene and that the pamphlet was being sent to girls and women. The illustrations certainly are striking in their detailed depictions of (supposedly) actual named men, standing with their pants around their ankles, before, during, and after treatment with Sherman’s equipment. Though the courts did not consider the pamphlet obscene the first two times that Comstock brought it before them, he would not give up and was finally able to see Sherman convicted after his third arrest and trial.”

  • 1885: Dr. Jacob A Sherman was arrested at New York on a bench warrant issued by Judge Butler, of the United States Court at Philadelphia, charging him with sending objectionable matter thought the mails. Dr. Sherman gave $2,500 bail to appear at the next term of court in Philadelphia."[8]

Dr. Sherman's principal office in 1878 was at 251 Broadway, New York City, New York with another office at 43 Milk Street, Boston, MA.[9]

By 1880, he moved with his family to Freehold, Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA, where he bought and equipped a large farm, and “stocked it with a rather high class of animals [trotting horses]. His most prominent stallions were Hambletonian’s Last, 2.25-1/4, by Hambletonian, dam Lady Russell, by American Star, bred by Dr Sherman, and Alexander H Sherman, by Blackman’s Idol, dam Mattie by Hambletonian. He had shoals of brood mares oat one time. The blood of Alexander H Sherman bred on quite successfully, but Hambletonian’s Last was only moderately successful in the stud. Between this horse and Ultimus, owned by M T Waine, there was a bitter controversary as to which was the younger male son of the old horse.”[10]

Dr. Jacob A Sherman and Benjamin La Bree were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought by Charles S Stearns Plaintif concerning assets of the Sherman Publishing Company of 294 Broadway, New York City, New York (subsequently located at 251 Broadway). The suit was heard by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, held at the County Court House in the City of New York during 1884-1886. Publications of the Sherman Publishing Company include “Pictorial Battles of the Civil War, volues I and II”, Admiral Porter’s “Naval History of the Civil War”, “The Second Admiral: A Life of David Dixon Porter, 1813-1891.” Included in the Supreme Court records is a statement that “J. A. Sherman is a manufacturer of trusses, and has an office corner Broadway & Murray street, where he has been for several years: he also owns a large stock farm, near Freehold, NJ, where he raises fancy horses, etc; is considered responsible, but we get no definite estimate of him; pays his billls promptly here.” Another statement says that “Jacob A Sherman was a non-resident of the State [of New York], engaged in a professional business, which required him to travel; that from October 1, 1885 to April 1, 1886, Sherman has been traveling through the United States, Mexico, and Central America; that he has no property or means outside of the business in which he is engaged;….”[11]

On 10 April 1890, the Sherman Stock Farm of Lexington, Kentucky, listed 150 colts and fillies for sale. "Sired by Sherman's Hambletonian 5884, sire of Sadie D, the fastest yearling ever foaled in Kentucky...also some very promising stallions..."[12] According to the New York Times, the Sherman stock farm of about 70 trotters and a number of ponies, representing an outlay of $209,000 fetched the low price of $3,703.73 at sale.[13]

Beginning 1890, J. A. Sherman is listed on the Electoral Registers for Finsbury, Holborn division, London England. During the 1890s, J. A. Sherman traveled between the U.S. and London, England numerous times.

The 1868 Will of his younger brother, Sylvester J Sherman, specifies that his brother Jacob “shall in no event be entitled to receive any oportion of my Estate or have any control thereof or of any of my children or descendants.” Since their mother Eliza lived with Sylvester or on property owned by Sylvester for the remainder of her life, it can be assumed that Jacob provided no support for his mother or younger siblings and was, thus, specifically written out of Sylvester’s will. No mention is made of the other adult brother Edwin W Sherman not any of the sisters who were minors at the time of their father’s death.

I believe Jacob’s middle name is Albrecht vice Albright. He was named after a German evangelist. He was my wife’s great great grandfather.
