Sherman, Esq., has a large, fine farm of 550 acres, splendid location, an oak grove around the "Homestead." Here we found all life and activity. We arrived at noon, and saw returning from the field the harvest-teams, as they were leaving the reapers and thrashers, twenty men and thirty horses. This was the scene for a painter. Mr. S. has 400 acres wheat and 100 of barley. The wheat will give him 20 bushels an acre, and barley 25 — a fine crop, of over 10,000 bushels; 30 acres hay, 40 tons. Two headers and one thrasher were at work as we arrived, fine teams engaged with them. Mr. Sherman has a good stock of horses. This it a school district, and Mr. S. takes an interest in it, puts his shoulder to the wheel; every farmer should do the same. Upon inquiry, Mr. S. was not in the mining fever, was not in the "feet." Lucky man! bad time to attend to his farm. He takes care of the farm, and the farm will take care of him." 1870 Township 3, Contra Costa, CA Joel Sherman 52 MA Jane Sherman 56 NY John Sherman 29 IL Ann Sherman 24 IL Sarah Sherman 16 IL George Sherman 22 IL Contra Costa Gazette, Saturday 30 Dec 1871, page 3 "In Ygnacio Valley Thursday, Dec 28, 1871, Joel Burnett Sherman, aged 54 years, 4 months, and 8 days. The deceased was a native of Ohio but for the past 15 years or there abouts (he is enumerated in IL in 1860 so it is less than 15 years), a resident of this county, actively engaged in agricultural pursuits. He leaves to mourn his death a large circle of friends and a family of a wife and 10 children, three sons and seven daughters, two of the former and five of the latter married and all residents of this county." The two children not linked to their parents are: Sarah E. Sherman who married Earl Otho Perry and had Alma, Chester, Julia, Henry, Josephine, Addie and William Perry. She was born in 1839 in IL and died in 1911 in CA. Notes: California Farmer and Journal 24 Jul 1863 "E. 0. Perry, Esq., near Mr. Whitton's, has 250 acres, all grain, a good average crop, planted from January to 15th March; will yield 22 to 25 bushels to the acre. Mr. P. recently met with a serious loss by fire, losing his barns, hay, grain, reaper, two horses, harness, and two hogs. His neighbors, however, belonging to humanity's Insurance company, soon rallied and made him feel they were his neighbors, and made up his loss to him. This was noble: they only, however, made him a loan: they will receive seven hundred per cent for it, for God has promised it." Anne Sherman who married James Johnstone Stone and had Oscar Wallace and Charles E. Stone Nancy Sherman who married John J. Young and had Henry, George, Jennie, Ralph James, Minnie or Mamie, Blanch Marie and Lulu Mary Young Number 11 in the Sherman Directories, Volume 2, page 1335
