Spelling & Name Variations Note

Because this is the Sherrard family Bible, names outside the direct line may reflect spelling variations:

  • Lynda's grandmother (wife of James) spelled her name Daisy (recorded as Daisey in the Bible).
  • William Sherrard's obituary in an early Frankfort newspaper lists him as J. B.
  • James Sherrard is referenced in at least one external record as James M.
