Hello!
I am the gr gr gr grand daughter of William Wilson Sherrod and live outside of Nashville in Rutherford county but commute into the city almost every day and frequent the TNSLA.
Would be interested in this 225 page document on your family if it has any info on the Sherrods as you posted above.
I am trying to determine if he was in the War for Southern Independance or if any of my other Sherrod kin folk were Confederates.
My Great Grandmother was Sofie Sherrod and they lived in Bells, Tennessee where I went to elementary school until about 1970. I have seen her old house which still was standing last time I was in Bells, which was many years ago. My grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Wainwright Shaw, wife of Isaac Carlyle Shaw and my mother was Beverly Ann Shaw Buntin. My mother had two sisters, Emily Jean and Mary Beth. Emily married Bill Bradshaw then Samuel P. Weiland. She recently passed away last year on January 10, 2014.
She also was online researching this ancestor and I am following in her footsteps.
Miss her terribly since she lived here in the Nashville area since the late 1950's and worked in the country music business at WSM Radio.
Would love to share with you anything that might correspond with your family or anyone else interested in this line.
