Robert H. Sherrod, one of the old citizens and farmers of District No. 6, was born March 11, 1816, in Robertson County, and received his education in the county schools. He remained at home until twenty-seven years of age. August 2, 1842, he wedded Mary Reed, daughter of John and Elizabeth Reed. Mrs. Sherrod was born September 21, 1824, in Rutherford County, Tenn., and by her union with Mr. Sherrod she became the mother of an interesting family of eight children: Joseph H., William D. D., John E. D., Louisa, Mary A., Robert A., Garling A. and Martha E. Mr. Sherrod lost his wife February 27, 1869, and September of the same year was married to Mickey A. McClary, daughter of [p.1188] Garling and Sarah A. Reed. Mrs. Sherrod was born December 4, 1828, in Kentucky, and to this union were born two children: James B. and Cinda B. A few years previous to his marriage, Mr. Sherrod purchased ninety acres near Adams Station, where he located after marriage. In 1852 he settled on 860 acres two miles south of Adams Station, where he has since resided. Mr. Sherrod commenced life as a poor boy but, by his industry and good management, he now owns 700 acres and is a well-to-do farmer. In politics he is a Democrat. He was the son of William and Mary A. (Dunn) Sherrod. The father was born about 1780, in North Carolina, and was a farmer by occupation. About 1800 he left his native State and came to Robertson County, Tenn., where he lived at the time of his marriage. He was one of the first settlers in the county and died in 1864. The mother was of German descent, and was born about 1788, in Robertson County, Tenn. She died in April, 1862.

"History of Robertson County, The", The Goodspeed Publishing Co., Nashville TN, 1887
..."A fort known as Miles' Station was built on the place now occupied by Joseph Washington, and among those who settled in that vicinity were William and Charles Miles, Azariah Dunn, John Roberts and Nicholas Conrad. Jonathan Carr and Holland Darden, Archibald Mahan, James and Henry Gardner, Joseph Washington, William and Giles Connell located in Sulphur Fork."...
..."Turnersville, in the Seventh Civil District, was formerly of considerable importance as a shipping point for tobacco, etc., but since the building of the railroad the business has passed to other points. The place took its name from Maj. Turner. The first store was opened by William Bell in 1820. About 1846 a Masonic lodge was organized, but in 1858 it was removed to Port Royal, Montgomery County. The only store in the place is now conducted by E. J. Rawls. The physicians are J. R. & J. W. Dunn and E. J. Rawls."...
..."The last troops raised in the county formed the greater part of Company E, of the Fiftieth Tennessee Regiment, organized in October, 1861. Some of the privates and a few of the officers of this company were from Montgomery County. The captain was C. A. Sugg; first lieutenant, John B. Dortch; second lieutenant, J. E. Ruffin; third lieutenant, C. W. Tyler. The company, numbering about ninety men, went to Fort Donelson where the regiment was organized in the following December. Capt. Sugg was made lieutenant-colonel and Lieut. Dortch was promoted to fill the vacancy. The company was engaged in the battle at that place, and after the surrender was disposed of in the same manner as Company C, of the Forty-ninth. On September 20, 1862, the regiment having been exchanged, the company was reorganized at Jackson, Miss., Thomas Mallory being elected captain. From that time until the close of the war the regiment of which this company formed a part did much hard fighting and lost a large number of its members. Among those belonging to Company E, who were killed or died in service, were J. S. Dunn, George Flowers, John Crunk, George McCauley, Robert Ogg, John Cannon, W. G. Dudley, John W. Gunn, Timothy Goodman, J. T. Johnson, Robert Fleeter, Walter Seay, Henry Tate, N. T. Watts, William Walthall. Col. Suggs, the first captain of the company, was mortally wounded at Missionary Ridge."...
