It's not all worked out yet, and there is some conflicting info, but it seems mother Saloma Calkins Sherman married as her second husband about 1819, which would mean the three Sherman children (William, Mary Ann, Saloma) were born before then. I just checked the 1820 census for Boonville, Oneida Co., NY. There are two Shermans. Stephen Sherman household had one boy to 10, one male ages 26-45, 3 girls to age 10, one girl ages 10-16, and one woman ages 26-45. William Sherman household had 1 boy to 10, 1 boy 10-16, 1 boy 16-26, 1 man 26-45, 3 girls to age 10, and one woman 26-45. Both have girls who are of the age of your Mary.
