- Samuel lived in Wethersfield, Connecticut.
- He married Sarah Mitchell, daughter of Matthew Mitchell and Susan Wood, estimated 1641.2

- He died in 1700.
Story
Samuel came from Dedham, Essex, England in 1634 with his brother, Rev. John Sherman, and first cousin, Capt. John Sherman. He came to Wethersfield with his father, and probably married Sarah there. The Colonial Record shows: "On 1 May 1637 the Connecticut Colony declared war. Samuel Sherman served in the Pequot War from John Oldham's settlement at Payquag, or Wethersfield."
With the Mitchells and others, he removed to Stamford. He was there in 1640-16401, as one of the original proprietors.
He appears first on Stratford Records in 1650. There he lived at a place called "Old Mill," later Bridgeport. He was usually called "Mr." -- a title of respect -- and sometimes was called "the Worshipful Mr. Sherman."
He was on the list of freemen at Stratford October 1669: "A list of the Freemen of Stratford as they are reputed amonst us, 8 mth., 7 d., [16]'69 ... Mr. [Samuel] Sherman..."
On 9 May 1672, the General Court granted liberty to Mr. Samuel Sherman, Lt. William Curtiss, Joseph Judson and John Minor, themselves and their associates, to erect a plantation at Pomperaug (Woodbury).
Samuel was Deputy from Stratford to the Connecticut Legislature in October 1660. The Colonial Record shows: "Mr. Nathan Gold and Mr. Samll Shearman chosen assistants - General Assembly, Hartford, 12 May 1664." Samuel also served as Assistant in 1662, 1663 and 1667. He was Commissioner for Stratford 1671-1675, for Stratford and Woodbury 1675-1679, and for Stratford 1680-1684.
In 1685 he removed to Fairfield, where he located in the Stratfield section. He served as Commissioner for Fairfield 1685-1688. On 14 December 1690, friend Samuel Sherman was named an overseer in the will of John Pickett of Stratford.
Samuel died at Fairfield on 5 April 1700. On 10 September 1700, an agreement was made between his surviving children and heirs to divide his estate; Matthew and Edmund were then dead.
Roy Sherman shows that the first four children were born at Stamford; the last five, at Stratford.

Story
He was fourteen years old when the momentous events of the pre-revolution happened. Forty-nine years later he wrote a son from Owego NY on 11 Sep 1824:
I have experienced sensibilities which indeed flow from the heart, well recollecting my own sensations when the first garments were rolled in blood at Lexington, being present when the British reinforcements, commanded by Lord Percy, formed and marched from Boston. I cannot forget the scenes and progress of the war. Nor can I forget my anxious fears and trembling, though then a lad, when on leaving my native town, soon after the commencement of the siege. I noticed the raw and strange materials which composed the army formed and collecting at Roxbury. To see hte stripling and the man of grey hairs associated in arms 'breasted to the shock,' and preparing for the tug of war, with their rusty muskets and scanty equipment, 'with death in their steps, the devil in their eyes,' anxious to contend, with a hardy, well-furnished and disciplined army. Nothing short of the God of armies, the Hope and Shield of all who confide in his holy hand and out-stretched arm, could have saved our armies from destruction and our country from desolation and slavery.

Biography
- Jehu Robinson was born estimated 1739.1
- Jehu Robinson was a ship captain.
- He married Elizabeth Augur, daughter of Abraham Augur and Elizabeth Bradley, in 1769 in East Haven, Connecticut+.2,3
- Jehu and Elizabeth lived in New Haven, Connecticut.
- Called Captain. He was captain of a ship: "Elizabeth" and then "Dolphin" - always going to or coming from NY. The Elizabeth logged from 31 Dec 1772 to 22 Jul 1773. The Dolphin started 29 Jul 1773. On 5 Nov 1773 it was advertized for sale in the newspaper - 16 or 18 ton with all tackle and apparel. For terms apply to Abraham Augur (his father-in-law, an inn holder). No sale probably because Jehu still went to NY between 30 Sep 1774 and 5 Apr 1775. Revolutionary War started then, so the reports stopped.
- On 3 April 1774 Jehu and Elizabeth were disciplined by the church.4
