Hi Mary!
You might try searching the archives for INNOBLE, and INWHITLEY if you do
not subscribe to them.
You might also try message boards at
FamilyHistory.com, GenConnect, and
GenForum (most have a search feature, if you can't find anything, post your
own message! In the subject line - be specific: Anna Sherman - Noble Co,
IN ). There are surname boards, AND county boards at most sites.
SurnameWeb.com has the following info for Sherman's, including a Sherman
Family Society!
http://www.surnameweb.org/registry/s/h/e/sherman.shtml
I have included my link below to some great research sites:

Good Luck in your search!

Subject: [INALLEN-L] SHERMANS, BECKERS, ACKERMAN OR FLANERYS
Hi,
I am searching for any information on Anna Sherman who was born in late
1879
or 1880 in IN. She is found in the 1880 Green Twp, Noble Co., IN
census
as
an infant with her widowed mother, Mary "Martha"
Flannery/Flanery Sherman.
They were living with Mary Martha's parents, Peter and Elizabeth Flanery.
Mary Martha may have later remarried to a Mr. Becker or Mr. John Ackerman.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I might find any information on what
happened to Anna and her family? I don't have access to a great deal of
resources but last year on a tour trip I tried to find something at the
Allen Co. Public Library and was not successful (overwhelming your first
trip there!) There must be a death record or obituary for Mr. Sherman
(1878-1880) but not knowing a first name, I am not sure how to proceed.
Does anyone have access to death records, marriage records, or newspapers
from that time period that could do a lookup for me? Or perhaps someone
has
a Mr. Sherman in their line that died in Indiana between 1878-1880.
Any
help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I am ready to give up on
this search!
Mary
