This writer is loathe to add burial unknown entries, but there is ongoing confusion between this Urial Sherman and another man by the same name, who reportedly died in 1866 and was buried in Genesee Cemetery, Potter County, Pennsylvania. That Urial Sherman was married to Cornelia Easton. In 1850 he was counted with Cornelia's family in Genesee Township, Potter County, Pennsylvania, and in 1860 was counted with Cornelia and four children (all born between 1850 and 1860 in Pennsylvania) in Bingham Township, Potter County, Pennsylvania.~Urial Sherman was born approximately between 1820 and 1828, the son of Honestus Sherman and Candace Smith. His given name is found variously as Urial, Uriel, Uriah and Euriah.
