She married Pleasant Bowman in 1860 in Madison County, Tennessee and then she married Joshua M. Bowman on December 15, 1867 in Madison County, Tennessee. Her children were Laura Caroline Bowman born October 1863 (she is my great grandmother and she married W.A. Allen on September 5, 1878 in Madison County, Tennessee), Amanda born 1865, Sarah Alice born July 1869 and Fanny born May 1873 all in Tennessee. I am trying to locate the parents of Mary Sherrod. I thought her father might be Gabriel Sherrod, but am not real sure. Her brothers and sisters were W.H. Sherrod, Benjamin Sherrod, Allen (John) Sherrod, Roxana Sherrod and Susan Sherrod. All of the children except for Mary (who was married to Pleasant Bowman) are living in seperate homes on the 1860 Census in Haywood County, Tennessee. So I believe the parents were dead. I have not been able to locate any of them on the 1850 Census. They ! all ended up moving to Faulkner County, Arkansas and are living there in 1880, 1900. Mary Sherrod Bowman, Susan Sherrod, and Allen Sherrod all lived in Arkansas until their deaths. W.H. Sherrod, Benjamin and Roxanna Sherrod all moved to Greer County, Oklahoma and died there. I would appreciate any information that anyone might have on these Sherrod's. Thanks Soni
