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:
7 March 1638 One of the signatories of the Portsmith Compact as a founder of the settlement of Portsmith
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. His will was proved 22 March 1687, so I have marked his death as 1687, unless someone else has more exact date.
