  • Notes 
    • William Sherburne (1822-1904) was the eldest child of James and Sarah and was born in Canada. He married Elizabeth Kenny (1825-abt 1890). Apparently they did not join James in his trek to Wisconsin, because their first seven children were born in Canada between 1848 and 1862. In 1864 or 1865, according to family stories, they joined a wagon train that was heading out West, possibly California. It was found that Elizabeth was pregnant again and they were put off in Van Buren County, Michigan. They bought some wooded property there and William made a living trapping and boot making. It was said that he was a fine boot maker. - http://grunerheritage.com/theotherside/sherburne/history2.html
