==DNA results '''R-BY70198'''==
===Previous Y-DNA testing===
The [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/ShermanProject?iframe=ycolorized Sherman DNA project] fails to list any descendants of William Sherman, but lists descendants of Samuel & Philip Sherman (both from Dedham, Essex, England). 

===NGS testing===
One member has apparently completed a Big Y test and has been found to fall under: R-L21>S552>DF13>FGC5494>A12897>BY70198

===NGS/WGS testing===
Testing of descendants of William Sherman would confirm an assignment and possibly identify subclades linked to descendants.
