The Thomas Durfee Family Tree

   This page was added to the Sherman Family Home Page for two reasons: First, many folks have requested information about the early Ontario/Wayne County, NY  Durfee family. And second, the Durfee's were very much interrelated, both as close neighbors and in marriages, with Shermans on the rocky shores of early Portsmouth (PM) & Tiverton, (Tiv) RI,  and in the vast farmlands of early Ontario County, NY. Notice that names highlighted in blue lead to the Sherman family.
