Biography
dau. of Jehiel Sherwood.
Sources
- May, Samuel. The Descendants of Richard Sares (Sears) of Yarmouth, Mass., 1638-1888 (Joel Munsell's Sons, 1890) Page 178
- S P May, p 178, thought that Abigail Sherwood, dau of Jehiel Sherwood m. James Sears and listed seven children of that marriage. There was confusion by May - he confused That James with his nephew James, son of his brother Thomas, who married Mehitable "Mable" Sherwood - younger sister of Abigail. It appears Abigail m. Ntahaniel Hebbard. Questionable about listing a son James Sears -909 with this profile??
- Abigail Sherwood - the daughter of Jehiel Sherwood, was born 17 Feb 1777, and married Nathaniel Hibbard. Ida Fitchard completed a DAR application with Abigail's info and is a direct descendant of Abigail.
- Research of Diane Sears Brigode- email, 8 Jul 1996 James is also the ancestor of Vivian West Broberg and Richard E Sears and lived in Lenox, MA was in Capt Oliver Beldings Co, Maj Caleb Hyde's Regt, 8 Jul to 26 Jul 1778, in Northern Dept. He removed to the "Lake Region" of Canada. Diane's research indicates that this man is the father of the nine children listed here. Many Quebec land petitions prove that James moved his family up from Bennington, VT about 1786 - took land in Caldwell Manor, Quebec, at first, petitioned for land in a couple of other townships, and finally was accepted as an original grantee at Sutton.

There are many doubts whether Abigail Sherwood married James Sears-867 and had these children. The information came from S P May's book but he must have made an error here. One of the few mistakes May made. Abigail's sister, Mabel (Mehitable) Sherwood m. James Sears (1777-1857) who was the son of James's (1747-1814) brother Thomas. i.e. James Sears (1747-1814) nephew. Abigail Sherwood actually married Nathaniel Hebbard which was proven in DAR application in 1909. https://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_member/?Action=full&National_Number=74380 or https://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_member/?Action=full&National_Number=131665
