Siblings John, Mary and George Sherman appear to have traveled to Louisiana together. The first signs of them being in Louisiana is during the Census Year 1970. It is possible that Mary Sherman was recorded in the 1870 Census in Georgia and they arrived in Louisiana in time for John to be on the 1870 Census for Louisiana. John and George Sherman are both in the 1880 Census for Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. To date I have not found Mary Sherman and her husband, Thomas Bacon, on a Louisiana Census, but they are both buried in Louisiana.
Within the original boundaries of old Claiborne, were the parishes of Bossier, detached in 1842; Jackson, in 1845; Bienville, in 1848; Webster, in 1871, and part of Lincoln in 1874.

While his name has been identified with the medical profession in Claiborne Parish for over twenty years, Doctor Sherman is perhaps best known through his extended business interests, as a banker and oil operator at Haynesville. He represents some of the old families of this section of the state.
He was born near Haynesville, in Claiborne Parish, son of G. B. and Sudie (Garrett) Sherman, the Shermans coming from Adairsville, Georgia, while the Garretts also were early comers to Northern Louisiana. G. B. Sherman and his brother, J. B.. Sherman, were well known among the early settlers of Haynesville vicinity.
Dr. J. C. Sherman was reared and educated in his home locality, and after the local schools entered the medical department of Vanderbilt University at Nashville, Tennessee, where he was graduated Doctor of Medicine in 1901. Then followed a period of a very busy and successful general practice, and he is still a competent and highly valued professional man at Haynesville. Along with his profession he has acquired an increasing prominence in the business, financial and social life of the community. He is vice-president of the Planters Bank at Haynesville, and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Continental Bank and Trust Company of Shreveport. He was a pioneer in the oil fields of Cotton Valley and Haynesville. His experience as an oil operator has been unusually successful. Doctor Sherman is a member of the Claiborne Parish, the Louisiana State and the American Medical Associations and is a liberal citizen ready to work and expend himself in behalf of any worthy project.
Doctor Sherman is a thirty-second degree Mason and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine. He married Miss Minnie Brown, of Claiborne Parish, and they have a daughter, Cloteal.
