(Odding) Porter [RChR 78-79; TAG 73:176-80].
CHILDREN:
i EBER, b. say 1634; m. Mary _____. (She has been called Mary
Wilcoxwas the daughter of Edward [Transatlantic Shermans 114; Philip Sherman
28], but there is no room for her in the family of Edward Wilcox [NEHGR
147:190-91].)
ii SARAH, b. say 1636; m. by about 1656 Thomas Mumford [Austin
136].
iii PELEG, b. say 1637; m. Portsmouth 26 July 1657 Elizabeth
Lawtonwas the daughter of Thomas Lawton [RIVR 4:Portsmouth:37].
iv EDMUND, b. 1641; m. by 1674 Dorcas Hickswas the daughter of Samuel

says she married Samuel Wilborewas the son of Shadrach, but this Samuel was

ASSOCIATIONS: Thomas Townsend Sherman has elaborated the large Sherman
family of Dedham, Essex, and vicinity [Sherman Genealogy (New York
1920)], cited above as Sherman Gen]. Philip Sherman was followed to New
England by his brother Samuel Sherman of Boston, his first cousin John
Sherman of Watertown, and his first cousins once-removed Edmund Sherman
and Richard Sherman.

COMMENTS: One of the Wheelwright supporters ordered disarmed [MBCR
1:212]. He signed the Portsmouth Covenant 7 March 1637/8 [RICR 52].
Accounts of this family in secondary sources, beginning with Austin,
supply incomplete dates of birth for all the children, including a son
William and an earlier daughter Mary [Austin 178-79]. None of these
dates is found in any contemporary records, and so all these dates and
the two additional children are omitted in the arrangement given above.
If there is any basis for these data, it would probably be a surviving
family record, but no mention of such a document is made.

Name: Philip SHERMAN
Prefix: Hon.
Given Name: Philip
Surname: Sherman
Sex: M
Note:
Philip Shearman (bapt 5 Feb 1610/1611 in Dedham, Co. Essex, England -
Mar 1687 Portsmouth, RI) came to MA as a single man in 1633. Soon
after arriving, he married in 1633 in Roxbury, MA, Sarah ODDING (b.
about 1615 England - alive in 1681) , dau of George and Margaret
(____) ODDING of England. Sarah had come to MA with her remarried
mother and her stepfather, John Porter. Phillip returned to England,
but was back by 1637, when he took part in an objection to the
practices of the established church. He apparently sympathized with
the Quakers in their beliefs. He was ordered to disarm and was
banished from the Bay colony in 1637 when he supported Ann Hutchinson
when she was persecuted as a Quaker in Boston. By 1638, he had joined
others in moving to Rhode Island, where they purchased the Island
Aquidnech in the Narragansett Bay. Philip Shearman became the
Secretary of the Rhode Island colony when it was formed in 1639. He
served s town clerk for Portsmouth for many years, and was generally
prominent in civic affairs.

FROM: http://www.tde.com/~jhowery/d0001/g0000050.htm#I4733
Philip Sherman emigrated to America about 1632/33, about the same time
as his father's cousin Edmund Sherman and Edmund's son Hon. Samuel
Sherman. Philip was admitted as a Freeman at Roxbury, Massachusetts on
14 May 1634. His name appears on the list immediately following Gov.
Haynes'. Philip Sherman and his cousins were followed to America by
Philip's second cousin Rev. John Sherman (in 1634was the son of Edmund and
brother of Hon. Samuel), by Philip's first cousin Capt. John Sherman
(admitted a Freeman in 1637), and by Philip's brother Samuel Sherman
(circa 1636/37). Philip Sherman was disarmed in November 1637 and
banished from Roxbury in 1638 because of his religious convictions.
The order to disarm was based on fears of insurrection: Order to
Disarm, 20 Nov. 1637. "Whereas the opinions and revelations of Mr.
Wheelwright and Mrs. Hutchinson have seduced and led into dangerous
errors many of the people here in New England, insomuch as there is
just cause of suspition that they, as other in Germany in former times
[the 1525 Peasants' Rebellion], may upon some revelations make
suddaine irruption upon those that differ from them in judgment, for
prevention whereof it is ordered . . ." On 1 July 1639, those banished
from Massachusetts purchased the island of Aquidnech in Narragansett
Bay from the Indians (Caunonicus and Mianantomu, a sachem), on the
advice of Roger Williams of Providence. They incorporated a government
on 7 March 1638: "We whose name are under written do here solemnly, in
the presence of Jehovah, incorporate ourselves into a Bodie Politick,
and as He shall help, will submit our persons, lives and estates unto
our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, and to
all those perfect and most absolute laws of His given in His Holy word
of Truth, to be guided and judged thereby." These articles were signed
by Wm. Coddington, John Clarke, Wm. Hutchinson, J., John Coggeshall,
Wm. Aspinwall, Samuel Willbore*, John Porter*, John Sanford, Edward
Hutchinson, Junr. Esq., Thomas Savage, Wm. Dyer, Wm. Freeborne,
Phillip Shearman*, John Walker, Richard Carder, Wm. Baulston, Edward
Hutchinson, Senr., Hennery Bulle, and Randall Howldon.

The Rev. John Eliot, of the 1st Church of Roxbury, wrote: Philip
Sherman came into the land in 1633 a single man and afterward married
Sarah Odding, a daughter of the wife of
John Porter by a former husband. This man was of a melancholy temper.
He lived honestly and comfortably among us several years. Upon a just
calling he went for England & returned again with a blessing. But
after his father in law John Porter, was so carryd away with the
opionions of familism and scism he followed them and removed with them
to [Rhode] Island. He behaved himself sinfully in these matters (as
may appear in the story) and was cast out of the church." In June 1649
Philip Sherman was "Chosen Towne Clerke for this next yeare
insewinge". He held this office every year through 1656, and is so
considered the first Secretary of Rhode Island. During his incumbancy,
on
16 May 1651, it was "Ordered that Philip Shearman shall have 5 pounds
for five years service of his Clarkship." and "Also ordered that 15s.
is due Philip Shearman from the Towne for writing out the General
Court Orders for the Towne." In June 1656 he was appointed "Towne
Magistrate". From 1656 through 1673 he was a member of the "Towne
Council". In 1676, at the time of King Philip's War, he was among
those appointed to an advisory committee: "At the General Assembly of
the Collony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, held at
Newport, April the 4th 1676, it was noted that in these troublesome
time and straites in this Collony, this Assembly desiringe to have the
advice and concurrance of the most juditious inhabitants, if it may be
had for the good of the whole, doe desire at their next sittinge the
company and council of Mr. Benedict Arnold, Mr. John Clarke, Mr. James
Barker, Mr. Obadiah Holmes, Mr. William Vaughn, Mr. William Hiscocke,
Mr. Christopher Holder, Mr. Phillip Shearman*, Capt'n John Albro, Mr.
William Wodell, Mr. George Lawton*, Mr. Robert Hodgson, Mr. William
Carpenter, Mr. Gregory Dexler, Capt. Randall Houldon and Capt. John
Greene; and the General Sargeant to inform the severall person the
Assembly's desire herein." On 23 April 1679 he was appointed Tax
Assessor. On 4 April 1683 he was chosen to lay out a highway. On 12
October 1684 he was a member of the Committee of Adjudication, and
reappointed on 1 April 1685 and 9 April 1686.

Sarah Odding

quote from "The Great Mirgration begins"

SARAH ODDING

In the list of admissions to Roxbury church, member #95 was "Sarah
Odding. She was daughter-in-law to John Porter & came with her parents &
was after married to Philip Sharman of this church" [RChR 79]

COMMENTS: This admission was late in 1633, but her parents were much
earlier in the list, and the family probably came to New England on one
of the ships that arrived during the early summer. JOHN PORTER and
PHILIP SHERMAN.
In 1998 Patricia Law Hatcher discovered that Sarah Odding was born
by 1612was the daughter of "William Oddyn" of Braintree, Essex [TAG 73:176-80]
***********************************

Re Sarah Odding: The American Genealogist, Vol. 73, No. 3, July,
1998, pages 176-180. In an article entitled
"Reconstructing Sarah (Odding)Sherman, Wife of Philip Sherman........" by
Patricia Law Hatcher, C.G., this noted professional genealogist states
"The parish registers for Madron, Cornwall, have been pubished. Sarah was
not born (that is, baptized) there on any of the dates listed. In fact,
there is no Odding family (in any varian spelling)in Madron. She
continues by citing the will of William Oddyn of Braintree, in which he
mentions, twice, his daughter Sarah, and appoints his wife, Margaret,
executrix. Will proved 3 Dec 1612. Her conclusion is that Sarah (Odding)
Sherman was the daughter of William Oddyn, webster, of Braintree, and his
wife Margaret_________, born in Essex,probably Braintree before the date
of her father's will (1612).This data was discovered after the
publication of The Great Migration Begins by Robert Charles Anderson.
