  • Notes 
    • From FindaGrave:

      From "Early Records of the Town of Portsmouth" it is learned what positions Philip Sherman held including being the first Secretary of the Colony of Rhode Island, or Recorder of the Colony 1648, and a representative in 1656. He was also a member of Court of Commoners and Council and King Philip's War.
      In addition he was:

      1644-1657 Town Clerk
      1650 & 1651 - Town Recorder
      1651-1684 - Tax Assessor
      1656 - Town Magistrate
      1656 - 1673 Member of Town Council
      1656 - 1657 Deputy to General Court Assembly of the Colony
      1660 - General Courts of Trials

      I have also seen the last name written as Shearman.
