Note for: Mary Hoyt, 28 DEC 1787 - 23 SEP 1852

Individual Note: FROM: "The White Tecumseh" by Stanley P. Hirshson
Page 2: "Then, on May 8, he [Charles Sherman - father of William] married Mary Hoyt, whom he had known in Norwalk since childhood. Mary was nine months his senior.
The Hoyts, too, were an old family, going back in America seven generations and being among the first settlers of Norwalk. During the Revolutionary War the sons of the family split their allegiance, half supporting the king and half favoring the rebels. One son, Jesse, even accompanied the British through Norwalk, pointing out the patriot homes and churches that were to be burned. After the war, he wisely migrated to Nova Scotia.
The Shermans tended to be lawyers, the Hoyts merchants. Early in life, Isaac Hoyt, Mary Sherman's father, followed the usual occupation, but severe asthma forced him to seek a cure at sea. For twenty years he was the captain of a vessel. In 1804 he died at sea and was buried at Gibralter.
For a good reason neither John Sherman nor his brother ever publicly mentioned Isaac Hoyt's wife, their maternal grandmother, Mary Raymond Hoyt. In 1928 a genealogist hired by General Sherman's son, P. Tecumseh Sherman, could find out nothing about her, noting simply that she died after 1804. A history of the Raymond family published in 1970 also recorded nothing.
Fortunately, however, a dedicated researcher, Francis F. Spies, has depositied in the Genealogy Room of the New York Public Library a typed copy of his unpublished three-volume study of tombstone inscriptions in Norwalk. It reveals that among those buried in the graveyard encircling St. Paul's Episcopal Church is Mary Raymond Hoyt, who died on October 1, 1828, at the age of seventy-three.
In later life, Mary Raymond Hoyt suffered mental incapacity. Although bured in Norwalk, she did not die there; the most educated guess is that she spent her last years in an asylum. Her exact illness will never be known, but she transmitted whatever she had to the youngest of her two sons, Charles Hoyt, a prosperous New York merchant. One of General Sherman's sons and perhaps John Sherman later seemed to have suffered from the affliction.
With each other, the Shermans several times discussed the malady. In 1860 Ellen Ewing Sherman, General Sherman's wife, mentioned Uncle Charles' stay in "the Asylum." Two years later she reminded her husband of "the melancholy and depression to which your family is subject," particularly "your Uncle and Grandmother."

Note for: William Tecumseh Sherman, 8 FEB 1820 - 14 FEB 1891
Index
Individual Note: William Tecumseh Sherman was one of the most famous military leaders of the Civil War, perhaps third after General Ulysses Grant and General Robert E. Lee.
Through much of the War, he was General Grant's most trusted subordinate. When Grant was promoted and took over the armies in the east, Sherman was put in charge of those in the west. His famous "march through Georgia" had a lot to do with the Union win, and its successful conclusion assured Lincoln's reelection, which had been very much in doubt.
Sherman, William Tecumseh (1820-1891) Son of Charles Robert Sherman; adoptive son of Thomas Ewing; brother of John Sherman. Born in Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio, February 8, 1820. Served in the U.S. Army during the Mexican War; general in the Union Army during the Civil War; U.S. Secretary of War, 1869. Member, Loyal Legion. In 1864, he led Union troops who attacked and burned Atlanta, Georgia. Elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in 1905. Died in New York, New York County, N.Y., February 14, 1891. Interment at Calvary Cemetery, St. Louis, Mo.William Tecumseh
Grant and Sherman were great friends as well as military partners. They supported each other through tough times, both military and personal. Sherman once said, "I supported Grant when he was drunk, and he supported me when I was crazy." Sherman was never "crazy" in the usual sense, but he did suffer a severe depression which disabled him for a period of time.
Sherman was a distant cousin of Brigham Young through the Goddard line.

Individual Note: In 1860, this family was in Mansfield, Richland County, Ohio. Charles was a lawyer.
New York Times, Jan 2, 1879
CLEVELAND, Jan. 1. - Ex-Judge Charles T. Sherman died at 1 o'clock this morning at his residence, in Prospect street, Cleveland of rheumatism of the heart. He has been in very poor health for several months, but was better during the last few weeks, and his death was thus very sudden. He complained of feeling very sick at midnight and at 1o'clock was dead.
He was born in Norwalk, Conn., on Feb. 3, 1811. He was a son of Charles R. Sherman and the oldest of 11 children. He went with his father to Lancaster, Ohio, when only 3 years old. His father was a prominent lawyer, and became one of the Supreme Judges of the State. Charles was graduated at the Ohio University in 1832. He studied law with Henry Stoddard, of Dayton, Ohio, and, in 1832, went to Mansfield, Ohio, and began practice. He practiced law in Mansfield up to the time his brother John went to Congress. In 1862 he was appointed by Gov. Tod as Colonel of Militia. Near the close of the war he was appointed by Lincoln one of the Directors of the Union Pacific Railroad. In the Spring of 1867 he was appointed Judge of the United States District Court at Cleveland, which office he held for six years, or until 1873, when he resigned on account of certain irregularities which came to light in regard to matters outside of the office tainting his reputation. He has lived constantly in Cleveland since that time. He leaves five children - Mrs. Gen. Miles, Mrs. Senator Cameron, Mrs. Colgate Hoyt, Henry S. Sherman, of Cleveland, and John Sherman, Jr., United States Marshall of New Mexico. The funeral will take place on Saturday, at which time Gen. W. T. Sherman and wife, Secretary John Sherman and wife, Senator Cameron and wife, Gen. Miles and wife, and many other prominent persons are expected to be present. Judge Willey, who knew him well, said of him last night: "He was a Judge of considerable ability, a man of genial manners, kind and considerate, and generally liked by the Bar throughout his district."

Individual Note: Lampson initially went to Des Moines to start a newspaper, but the assurances given him that funding and subscriptions were already arranged proved false. He made a valiant attempt, nonetheless, but the effort ended in failure. Lampson held various positions with his brother, Hoyt, before being appointed collector of U.S. revenue.

"Senator Sherman is the legislative 'father' of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890.
During the Civil War, the 64th Ohio Volunteer Infantry regiment was raised around Mansfield. It was intended for Sherman to be colonel of the regiment, but President Lincoln refused to sign the commission, saying Sherman was needed far more in the Senate.
The political expression, 'fence mending', is said to orginate with John Sherman, when he made a trip home to Ohio that was widely perceived as political in nature. Sherman insisted that he had come home "only to repair my fences." (Scholastic online - Vocabulary: political words)"

HOYT SHERMAN, son of Charles R. Sherman, Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio,
was born in Lancaster County, November 1, 1827, and is the younger brother of
John Sherman, the distinguished Ohio statesman, and of General William T.
Sherman of Civil War fame. Until eighteen years of age, Hoyt's time was divided
between school and the printing office. In the spring of 1848 he came to Fort
Des Moines, Iowa, then far out on the western frontier. In 1849 he was
admitted to the bar and began to practice law, and also engaged in real estate
business. In March of that year he was appointed by President Taylor postmaster
of Des Moines, holding that position until the inauguration of President
Pierce, when he resigned and was elected clerk of the District Court. In 1854 he
was the senior member of the baking house of Hoyt Sherman & Co., and upon the
establishment of the State Bank of Iowa he became cashier of the Des Moines
branch and was one of the directors on part of the State to supervise the system
and guard the public interests. When the Civil War began Mr. Sherman was
appointed by President Lincoln paymaster in the Union army with the rank of major,
holding the position for three years. He was one of the organizers of the
Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa and for many years its general manager.
That institution owes much of its stabililty and high standing to the fine
executive ability and unquestioned integrity of Major Sherman. In 1866, Major
Sherman was a member of the House of the Eleventh General Assembly where he was
chairman of the committee on railroads and a member of the committee of ways
and means. In 1886 he was one of the founders of the Pioneer Lawmakers'
Association and has always been one of its most influential members, serving as
president and long a member of the executive committee. He has contributed
valuable historical articles to the Annals of Iowa on "Early Banking in Iowa," and
on the "State Bank of Iowa." For many years he was the executive officer of
the Associated Charities of Des Moines.

Hoyt initially studied the printing trade in the office of his brothers, Charles and John, in Mansfield, Ohio, while in school. In 1848, after turning 21, he was able to indulge a long-held dream to visit less-traveled parts of the country. Finding his way to Des Moines, Iowa, he quickly decided to make it his home. He soon entered public service as a school fund commissioner. His demonstrated business skills in this role earned him appointment to the position of deputy postmaster, which he held until 1849, when he was named postmaster of Des Moines, serving until 1853. As postmaster, he built the city's first dedicated post office building, moving the postal operation out of a barracks building.
In 1849, Hoyt was admitted to the bar, becoming one of the city's most prominent attornies and a clerk of the district court.
He established the bank of Hoyt Sherman and Company, building a reputation for character and integrity which earned it considerable success, particularly in the trust of the company's banknotes, an important factor in the era before the issue of any offical federal currency other than coin. In 1858, a new state constitution allowed the establishment of the State Bank of Iowa with authority to issue note. Hoyt was appointed cashier of the Des Moines branch and one of the State Bank's directors, merging Hoyt Sherman and Company into the new bank.
With the outbreak of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln commissioned Hoyt a major and named him a paymaster in the Army. He held the post for three years, without discrepency of even a penny.
After the war, he served in the Iowa legislature in 1866. In 1867, he was an organizer of the Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa, serving first as actuary, then secretary, and in Janaury of 1874 beginning a fourteen-year tenure as president.
Actively committed to the development and betterment of his home town, Hoyt was a founder of the Des Moines Water Company in 1871, and 1876, was a founder and president of the Iowa Industrial Exposition Company which sought to establish a museum for arts and industries of the state. Several years after his death, Hoyt's own spacious home, left vacant, began its evolution into the current Hoyt Sherman Place, a major performing arts center and museum.
