    Notes:

    Birth:

    "New Light on Henry Sherman" by Mrs. B. L. Stratton conclusively proved that Henry the elder is NOT the son of Thomas Sherman of Yaxley, Suffolk. The names of Henry's parents are unknown. See also NEHGR source by Michael J. Wood for further info.

    Henry married Agnes Perpoynt in 1539 in Dedham, Essex, England. Agnes was born about 1524 in Dedham, Essex, England; died before 14 Oct 1580 in Dedham, Essex, England; was buried in St. Mary the Virgin Churchyard, Dedham, Colchester, Essex, England . [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Married:
    Per new research in the NEGR article (Vol. 166, 2012) by Michael Wood, he shows the probability that Henry's wife was not Agnes Butter (or Butler) but probably Agnes Perypoynt.
