Mary Lovering Holman says:
In 1935, some old papers were discovered in the farmhouse once occupied by Philo Sherman and sent to the compiler of this genealogy. They consisted of a will, a depostion in fragments, a receipt, and an indenture. The will was one made by Philo (or as he spelled the name Philow) Sherman. The deposition related to Ebenezer Knapp, the receipt was from his widow, and the indenture one between Israel Knapp and Philo Sherman. Later another peice of the deposition was discovered by another search. These papers are all given here: In nearly all the wills of these Canadians it will be seen that no attempt is made to name all the heirs. Apparently the sons were given land by deeds or in some way their claim against their parent's estates were satisfied before the wills were drawn and then the testator gave the residue to whom he pleased.
The depostion after the fragments found were aligned reads as follows:
