From The History of Lake County, Illinois - 1891:
Lewis C. Dorsett was married in Waukegan on the 27th of May,1880, Miss Harriet A. Sherman becoming his wife. She was born in Chicago and is a daughter of Nathaniel and Nancy (Pettengill) Sherman, both of whom were natives of Barre, Washington County, Vt. Her father was descended from one branch of the Sherman family which is so prominently identified with the civil and military history of the United States.
His parents were Nathaniel and Deborah (Webster) Sherman, and his grandfather was Jonathan Sherman who was born in Barre, Mass., June 1, 1868, and was the son of Aseph Sherman who was born in Dedhara, England, and emigrated to America in 1632. He settled in Waterloo, Mass., and to this branch of the family Roger Sherman belongs. About 1791 Jonathan Sherman removed from Barre, Mass., to Vermont and was one of the founders of the town of Barre in that State, which he had the honor of naming after his old home in the Bay State.
The Websters, the family of Mrs. Dorsett's paternal grandmother, were also a prominent family of New England and were the first settlers of Berlin, a town adjacent to Barre, Vt. Nathaniel and Nancy Sherman emigrated Westward in 1843 and located in Chicago where the husband died ten years later. His widow survives him and is still a resident of that city. For fourteen years prior to her marriage
Mrs. Dorsett was engaged in teaching in the Waukegan city schools where she was held in high esteem for her superior ability as an educator and many excellencies of character. Both Mr. Dorsett and his wife are members of Christ Episcopal Church, of Waukegan. They have three children, two daughters and a son, all born in Waukegan. Belle is the eldest, Gertie the second and Sherman Lewis the youngest.
