Dutchess County New York Sherow - Sherer

Where to start...a prepared genealogy of the Sherow family of Dutchess county....according to the genealogy...

It begins with a George Sherer and his French Huguenot wife arriving in America in the middle to early 1700's.

He has two sons George Sherer and Benjamin Sherow the Elder 1767-1865

Only Benjamin's descendents are listed, however of the 8 children half decide at some point to use the Sherer name again and switch back. To make matters worse, their names (3 Georges of course!)are seemingly the same as what appears to be the descendents of George Sherer the Younger above.

I've pretty solidly tracked Benjamins descendents despite the name changes, but I've been unable to locate these two George Sherer's of the 1700's and their descendents...I'd like to do that if for any reasons than to help determine who is who between the Sherow-Sherers and what I believe to be the Sherer-Sherrers.

So, anyone have a George the Elder arriving from Scotland, maybe even with one child?
