Carrie Babcock Sherman (16 November 1856 – 6 October 1931) was the wife of Vice President James S. Sherman, and thus second lady of the United States from 1909 to 1912.
Carrie was the daughter of Lewis Hamilton Babcock, a prominent attorney, and Ellen Catherine Babcock (née Sherrill).[1][2] She had two siblings, Sherrill Babcock, a soldier, and Anita Babcock DeLong.[2] Her grandfather was Congressman and Union brigade commander Eliakim Sherrill, killed at Gettysburg.[1]
Carrie Babcock married James Schoolcraft Sherman on 26 January 1881.[3] Carrie and James had known each other since childhood.[1]
The couple had three sons: Sherrill B. Sherman (1883–1962), Richard U. Sherman (1884–1951), and Thomas M. Sherman (1885–1944).[1][2]
When her husband became vice-president in March 1909, Carrie became the first second lady to accompany her spouse in the inaugural parade, riding to and from the ceremony at the U.S. Capitol.[1][4]
Sherman is buried at Forest Hill Cemetery in Utica, New York, alongside her husband.
