John B. Shearman is my 3rd great grandfather. He was born in Tiverton, Rhode Island on November 25, 1799 and he died on October 2, 1881 in Smithfield, Rhode Island.
John and his wife, Ann Eliza Patt (1803 -1887), had fifteen children together -- nine girls and six boys. The seventh child and fifth girl was my 2nd great grandmother, Martha Amanda Shearman, who married Mason Freeman on July 29, 1851.
