Captain David Sherman died on New Year's Day, 1753, "in ye 88th year of his Age". He had served as a Deacon to the Stratfield congregation for over half a century, from 1695 until his death in 1753.
Said to be the son of Judge Samuel Sherman and the former Sarah Mitchell, it appears that his mother was in her 44th year at the time of his birth and had died in childbed, as her death occurred on the day he was born. The place of her death according to this source is Hartford County, CT, which seemingly conflicts with sources giving the Captain's birthplace as Fairfield County.
Married to the former Marcy Wheeler, he was a widower at the time of his death, his wife having predeceased him a decade earlier. Originally interred in old Stratfield Cemetery, in 1926 Captain Sherman's remains were transferred here, to the Tower Crypt, along with those of four other local religious leaders of the early American era. Marcy Wheeler Sherman's remains are still in Old Stratfield Cemetery, however.
