Subject: RE: Origins: Red River Valley, Gaelic?
Sherman, TX is an old town, incorporated before 1850.

Sherman Valley, PA, received settlers in the 18th c., it no longer exists in current records. It was in what is now Bedford County.
I don't know if records of Sherman's Valley, Perry Co. PA refer to the same area, but there are genealogical records of 18th c. inhabitants.

Don't know of anything directly relating them to the song.
