Ethan was the son of William Morgan Sherrill and Elizabeth Norcross. He married Ada Gertrude Fredic 12/24/1896 in Tallahatchie Co, MS. Ada died 8/28/1897 in Tallahatchie Co, MS and is buried in Poplar Springs Cemetery. He next married Florence May VanMeter on 10/17/1900 in Burleson Co, TX. She died 5/21/1911 in Brazos County, TX and is buried in the Masonic Cemetery. Ethan and Florence had the following children: Lenora Elizabeth; Dorothy Mae; Ethan Allen, Jr; and Lloyd Haggard. On 12/18/1912 in Hardin Co, TX, Ethan married Alice Amanda Lowe. Their children were: William Morgan; Alyce Adele; and Douglas Beaumont.

Excerpt from "Astride the Old San Antonio Road", A History of Burleson County, Texas by Lilly Sherrill Mitchell:
"Ethan Allen married 3 times. His first 2 wives died. He reared 7 children in Houston, TX. He was a doctor. His 4 sons were also doctors." (Note: The fact that he is listed as "widowed" in the 1900 census lends credence to Lilly Sherrill Mitchell's recollection.)
