Comments: John Sherrard, Sr. was born in about 1806 in Londonderry, Ireland. He immigrated to Canada in 1827 and settled in St. George, Charlotte County, New Brunswick. January 20, 1831 he married Catherine Ash. They had ten children. In 1864 they moved to Charlotte, Maine, where John died August 29, 1868. Descendants and relatives lived in New Brunswick, Ouebec, Nova Scotia, Maine, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana and elsewhere. The author was born on September 14, 1918, in Charlotte, Maine, the daughter of Philip E. and Mildred A. (Goodeill) Sherrard, the first of three children. For the initial 10 years of her life she and her parents resided with her maternal grandparents along the Moosehead Stream in Charlotte and thereafter on the Sherrard family farm on the shore of Round Pond in Charlotte originally settled by her paternal great-grandfather. She attended various one room schools in Charlotte (Gardner, Lake and Damon ridge) and graduated from Pembroke High School in 1935 at the age of 16. Karin was a member of the Maine Genealogical Society and the Maine Historical Society for more than 25 years. In 1993 she published a genealogy of the descendants of her great grandfather, John Sherrard, through seven generations.
