- John William Sherman, book review, April 10, 1865-LYNCHBURG VIRGIAIAN, Page1, Column 3.
John William Sherman was James Beverly Ward's cousin and the printer of THE BEALE PAPERS.
Max Guggenheimer, who was the only living person mentioned by name in THE BEALE PAPERS, ran advertisements for his department store in the LYNCHBURG VIRGINIAN.
Was this the first example of clever subliminal marketing?
Was Robert Morriss of the Beale Papers any relation to Robert Morris Jr who signed the DOI ?Was John William Sherman any relation to Roger Sherman. Roger Sherman was one of five on the committee to draft the DOI? He had a father and a brother named William Sherman.
... The only reason I was proven wrong because of bad information from Ancestry.com and a newspaper that had the genealogy listed as factorial.
So what is new? DO you have any research to share or are you just a forum troll.
Roger Sherman, signer of the DOI had two daughters, Sarah and Rebecca, NO SONS, so if you have information that John William Sherman was related, it must be some more of that "bad information from Ancestry.com"
PS: "forum troll"? Why do you always resort to name calling?
Nothing ever has anything to do with the Beale Papers that is why we search.
Is that why you once brought Clarence Saunders and Piggly Wiggly into the Beale discussion?
