File Manager - Lygia D. Cutts SEP 1999 Bio of J.V. Scheuerman - Mobile Co. AL This information was taken from the 1850 Census-Mobile, Alabama. Father: J.V.

Elizabeth Schuerman age 8 female, Born in Germany I have more information on Elizabeth on the Edward Fichet site on the same page you linked to this. Please see that site. The family came from Burgstat am Main, Bavaria Germany and it is a very common name there. It is most probable that the family arrived in New Orleans and came to Mobile, Alabama shortly thereafter. The name Scheuerman is the original family spelling of the name. Upon arrival in America certain family members have chose to use alternate spelling---Scherman, Sherman.
