The family came to California in 1863, settling first in El Dorado County (1863-1865). In the Spring of 1865 they moved to Contra Costa County where George ran the Morgan House Hotel in Martinez until July 1876 when he removed to Oakland, Alameda, County, CA. In that same year he bought the drug store in Martinez and later bought a drug store in Berkeley. He became sick and went to Mendocino County, staying for two years before going to San Mateo County, CA. While in San Mateo County he had a stroke which he never recovered from. He was brought back to Berkeley where he lived his last years.

Returned With A Bride
"Our pleasant young friend George A. Sherman, of the Morgan House, at Martinez, returned last week from a brief visit east, bringing with him one of Ohio's daughter's as a bride.
By reference to the marriage notices it will be seen that George and Miss Fannie, son and daughter of Mrs. Charles Sherman, formerly Sheriff of Delaware County, but now of Martinez, CA have lately taken a matrimonial step. Some eight years ago Mr. Sherman left Delaware with his family for the west, leaving behind a host of friends, among whom one was particularly dear to George, and after an absence of eight long years, his late visit to the county has been rewarded and on the third instant he left for his western home, accompanied by Miss McAdow as his life companion. Miss Fanny's alliance with Mr. Guppy is no doubt a judicious one, and we wish the young couples more than the ordinary blessings of the far west."
