Bio about Nathaniel's daughter, Harriet. Excerpt from The History of Lake County, Illinois - 1891:
Miss Harriet A. Sherman became the wife of Lewis C. Dorsett on 27 of May, 1880 in Waukegan, Illinois. 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.
