Posted to the Sherrod Family Genealogy Forum by Mike Sherrod:
I have been trying to find out as much as I can on the Texas Sherrods. I have a copy of a army discharge for Pvt. William Sherrod from the Republic of Texas Army, September, 1836 but I cannot find the connection to me. I don't know where he came from because his discharge only mentions that he emmigrated to Texas in February 1836, but from where? It doesn't mention. Also, My great grandfather, Ben Sherrod and my grandfather, Charles Ward Sherrod are both buried in White County Cemetary near Griffithville, Arkansas. My father, Lilbourne Wayne Sherrod is a retired U. S. Army Colonel living in El Paso, Texas. He was born at Griffithville, Arkansas on October 16, 1913.
