Notes for Joseph Sherburne

Dict. of Main & NH, Libby Noyes etc. pg 628 & 629
NEHGR vol 58, pg 391& 227. John & Henry were brothers. Parish reg. of Church of Odiham.
Emperor Charlemagne's Descendants by J. Orton Buck & Timothy Field Beard pg 248

The baptisms of sons Edward, Gilbert, Henry, George & James and two sisters, Elizabeth & Bridget, also appears in Odiham church records from 1604 to 1620. Every one of these names save Gilbert reappears in the first three generations of the Portsmouth Sherburnes. Savage says that George Sherburne was at Portsmouth in 1650 confirming the story of three brothers. For account of the Odiham and Oxford Sherburnes see Sir Henry Chauncey's History of Hertfordshire, published 1700 and an account of the poet Sir Edward Sherburne (undoubtedly first cousin to John & Henry in the dict of National biography).
