  • Notes 
    • Some sources (e.g., the Ancestral File) incorrectly list Edmund's wife as Judith Angier or Angiers or Anger. However, as shown in "Ancestry of Rev. John Sherman and Capt. John Sherman", the Edmund who married her was his cousin Edmund of Colchester and there is no evidence that he came to New England
