Biography. 296

Mr. White shows (New England
Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. 51, p. 310) that John [3] Sherman (Henry [2], Henry [1]), the father of Capt. John Sherman, married Grace Makin prior to 14 May 1610, the date of the will of her father Tobias Makin of Fingrinhoe, Esses (Resgister, vol. 50. p. 286), who mentions Grace
Sherman, his daughter; that she had two sons John and Richard Sherman;
that prior to 2 Sept. 1625, the date of the will of her cousin Ann
(Sherman) Anger (Resgister, vol. 50, p. 402), Grace (Makin) Sherman had
married Thomas Rogers; and that she had a daughter Elizabeth by Thomas
Rogers. The Dedham Parish Register gives the baptism of Elizabeth,
daughter of Thomas Rogers, on 16 Nov. 1617. This shows that Grace
(Makin) Sherman, whose first husband, John Sherman, was buried at Great
Horkesley on 24 Jan. 1616, as shown above, must have married Thomas
Rogers within about a year thereafter, and that they were probably
living at or near Dedham when their first daughter Elizabeth was
baptized.
