Deborah Briggs

Born: 1723 in Little Compton, Newport County, Rhode Island.

Died: (date unknown) in Dutchess County, New York state.


Her father was Job Briggs.

Her mother was Mary Tallman.


She was married (date unknown) to Michael Sherman in Dartmouth, MA.

Michael and Deborah had five children, all born in Dartmouth, MA:

  Job Sherman       born -about-  1741
  Jedediah Sherman  born Mar. 26, 1745
  Briggs Sherman    born -about-  1747 
  Susanna Sherman   born -about-  1749 
  Elizabeth Sherman born -about-  1751
  

There is also a reference found to an un-named male child born on
March 29, 1734 and apparently stillborn or died soon after birth;
this child may have been incorrectly attributed to Deborah Briggs,
as she would have been only about ten years old at conception.


Her name has also been found spelled "Deborrah", but I think that
the correct spelling is probably "Deborah" so I am using that one.
