Carol, it appears that you search the Sherman name. Elizabeth Carpenter b. abt 1830 in Washington County, m. Bridges Curtis Sherman, Justice of the Peace about 1850. They resided in the Palermo and Liberty area. Bridges had a brother, Alvah. Are you familiar with this family? I am seeking the name of Elizabeth's father. Her mother was named Eliza, born 1808. Thanks for any help. Sharyn Carpenter Herian
