• Notes

  Samuel Sherk, "was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, April 19th, 1792. On August 20th, 1815, he was married to Magdalena Break (No. 1169) who was born April 3rd, 1796, and died September 8th, 1862. After their marriage they settled on the east side of the Grand River about two miles south of Breslau. In 1866 Mr. Sherk left his old home and moved to near Caledonia, Kent County, Michigan, where he spent the evening of his life. During his whole life he was a true follower of His Master and a worthy member of the River Brethren Church, so that he may be classed with the good and remembered with the just. He departed his well spent life September 17th, 1874. His family consisted of ten children" Eby, Ezra E. (1895).
