NOTE: needs independent verification: Lydia’s exact birth date and place (the 1910 county death record gives 1 Mar 1819, Columbus; an informant is not shown, so it is secondary information, and it replaces the tree’s ABT 1818 Ohio; the 1900 census gives May 1819) and the Sherman first marriage and 1850 death of her first husband (a compiled migration index, QUAY 1). The cemetery is named ‘Green Lawn’ on the record; its town is not stated, but her Sherman sons and daughter are buried at Green Lawn, Columbus.
