Elizabeth's marriage record is where the spelling of her maiden name comes from. I believe it was written in German style by the Rev. Shellhammer since her husband's name was written as Petrus instead of Peter. A more common spelling of Elizabeth's maiden name would be Sheaman and there are many with that surname that lived in the same region and there are quite a few Sheaman's who are also buried in Saint John's cemetery.
