Place of birth not entirely certain. His death notice says he was bornin Cuyahoga County near Cleveland, while "Sherman genealogy" says'Ricefield'. There is no municipality by that name in the state of Ohio,so I presume it to be a misprint for 'Richfield', which is located inSummit County, just across the boundary from Cuyahoga County. Richfieldtoday is one of the suburbs comprising the greater Cleveland area, and itis possible that the author of his death notice made a faulty assumption.

Charles married Frances Beecher SHERMAN on 9 May 1855 in Mansfield, Richland, Ohio. Frances was born on 5 May 1829 in Lancaster, Fairfield, Ohio; died on 21 Feb 1889 in New York, New York, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Dan was a carpenter and bridge contractor and built many of these structures in the early days of Ohio's statehood.

He was a great admirer of Clay and Webster and later, as an abolitionist, he voted for Abraham Lincoln and against the Fugitive Slave Law.
