However there seems to be some confusion on who her parents are because when I go to the www.familysearch.org files it gives two sets of parents: >> Lucy was daughter of Edward SHERMAN, b: 1726 in Dartmouth, Bristol Co., MA and Lucia PETERSON. They married 21 Sep 1759. Source for marriage, and her birth, is the Middleborough, MA Vital Records. Marriage to Job SHAW (int.) 12 Jan 1788 is recorded in the Rochester, MA Vital Records. Lucia was a Mayflower Descendant, via her mother, Ruth DELANO - per a HATHAWAY Genealogy. I'll try to dig that connection out for you. Lucia was first married to Peleg HATHAWAY in 1748, and had two sons by him. She married Edward after Peleg's death. ============ Lucy SHERMAN, b: 25 Oct 1766 - who was the daughter of Asaph and Lucy WHITNEY, married Joseph Hathaway on 30 Aug 1786 in Rutland, VT. Art
