Dear Susan, I am a descendant of Anthony Shearman, whose descendants changed their name about 50:50 to Shermon or Sherman.. Another sister of Anthony was Rachel Rosetta (b.25 March 1815 Wotton-under-Edge), married Charles Mapstone and emigrated to New South Wales arriving in Sydney on 18 January 1838 having multiple Australian descendants. David was the illegitimate son of Mary Shearman, who was baptised 3rd September 1771, daughter of John Shearman, who was baptised 28th August 1740 and his wife Elizabeth Parker. They married on 28 August 1763 all of this happened in North Nibley..
