David Sherrick (1823-1914) was my paternal 3rd-great grandfather. What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical data I have discovered about him.
1. Vital Records
David was born October 18th or 19th, 1823 in York County, Pennsylvania1,2. His death certificate states the 19th, biographical sketch states the 18th.
1.1. Birth Certificate
I have not located a birth record for David yet. Will continue to search sources such as FamilySearch in hopes of locating a church record.
1.1.1. Birth Notice in Newspaper
If David's birth was mentioned in a newspaper, I'm not aware of it. Will search contemporary newspapers of the time period to see if any mention was made.
1.1.2. Bible Record
I'm not aware of any surviving Bible records of the Sherrick family that mentions David. Will continue to reach out to extended family in hopes that one can be located.
1.1.3. Baptismal Record
I am not aware of any baptismal record for David, nor am I aware of the church affiliation at this time.
1.1.4. Adoption Record
There is no indication that David was adopted.
1.2. Marriage License
David married Susan Jacobs on March 23, 1843 in Wayne County, Ohio3. His surname was spelled Sherich in the record.
David married Amy Byers sometime between 1864 (Susan's death) and 1870 (census), likely in Medina County, Ohio. I have not been successful in locating the record yet. Will continue to search in hopes of locating.
David married Margaret Zimmerman on April 29 1884 in Seneca County, Ohio4. Margaret was the widow of Anthony David Rosenberger and the daughter of Barney Zimmerman.
1.2.1 Marriage Notice in Newspaper
I've not yet searched available newspapers of the time period to see if mention was made of David's three marriages. Will add this to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.
1.2.2. Anniversary Notice
I've not yet searched available newspapers of the time to see if mention was made of any anniversary celebrations. David's marriage to Margaret was the only one that made it to the 25th wedding anniversary mark.
1.2.3. Divorce Decree
Although there was no indication that David was ever divorced, a thorough search of local court records would need to be made to be sure.
1.3. Death Certificate
David died September 30, 1914 in Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio5,6, following a fracture of the femur.
1.3.1. Obituary in Newspaper
David's obituary appeared in the October 7, 1914 edition of the Ashland Ohio Press6.
I need to make this the subject of a future blog post.
1.3.2. Funeral Home Records
I will need to search the local historical society records to see if they have any mention of funeral home records that might have handled David's arrangements.
1.3.3. Tombstone Photograph
David's tombstone in the Ashland Cemetery in Ashland, Ohio7, has been photographed. A link to his memorial page at FindAGrave is located here.

Shaky Leaves : Margaret (Zimmerman) Rosenberger Sherick (1835-1911)
Margaret (Zimmerman) Rosenberger Sherick (1835-1911) was the wife of my 3rd-great grandfather, David Sherick (1832-1914) on my paternal side. Ancestry.com is currently showing 10 hints from historical records for her in my LeMaster & Allied Familes tree.
I have ignored the Ancestry Member Tree hints for now and will concentrate on the records.
There are a lot of records to update in my RootsMagic database, including the census records.
In the 1910 census of Pleasant Township, Seneca County, Ohio, Margaret was living with her husband David. They owned their home free of mortgage, and had been married for 25 years. One fact I hadn't noted before was that she was the mother of one child who was still living.
In the 1900 census of Pleasant Township, Seneca County, Ohio, Margaret was living with her husband David, a minister. They owned their home, but the enumerator wrote that they had been married for 57 years! There was also a servant boarding in the home, Sally Simmons, age 28 born in Ohio.
Another database was the Ohio, Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center Obituary Index, 1810-2013 where they listed the following:

Also was a link to Maggie's memorial at the FindAGrave site. She is buried in the Fairmont Cemetery in Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio at the grave site with her first husband, Anthony David Rosenberger.
Another database was Ohio, Marriages, 1800-1900 where I located the marriage date of Margaret's marriage to her first husband.

| Gender: | Female |
| Spouse: | Anthony D. Rosenberger |
| Spouse Gender: | Male |
| Marriage Date: | 20 Nov 1870 |

I still need to locate the marriage date between Margaret and my 3rd-great grandfather, David Sherick, but it must have happened after 1879, when her first husband died.

In the 1860 census of Liberty Township, Seneca County, Ohio, Margaret was living in her father, Barney Zimmerman's household. Her age was 24 and she was born in Maryland.

One thing I found through these records was that the name of Margaret's mother was Sarah. I've yet to find the name of her child with David Rosenberger. I've updated my RootsMagic database.
If you are related or have any addition corrections or information, I would love to hear from you.
