My connection is through Catherine Sherrill 1772-1852 who married Andrew Starnes. I have not yet been able to connect her with any other Sherrills.
There are 2 different charts for this family.I'm
not sure which is correct. I'm including both.
The first one is in Blue
type the second is in Black type.

William Sherrill Sr. was known as "The Conestoga Fur Trader" or "The
Indian Trader" and was an early settler and Indian guide of some repute
in Lancaster Co., PA. He and his sons, William, Jr. and Adam are credited
with helping to open the Susquehanna Valley, Virginia to early settlers
in the 1740's. In 1702 he purchased 150 acres known as Price's Forest
in Cecil Co., Maryland. In 1720 he was granted 200 acres of land called
Three Partners; deed bk 5, pages 228-231. In December of 1725 he sold 100
acres of this land to his son Adam.
It is claimed that William Sherrill Sr. accompanied his sons
to the Catawba River in North Carolina in 1747. He may have went on to
Tennessee with them, but he would have been getting up in years by then.
William's known children where: Adam (The Pioneer), William, Jr., Margaret
and Mary Sherrill.

"The Pioneer" Adam Sherrill's home is located close to the banks of
the Catawba River near Sherrill's Ford and Terrell, North Carolina,
and was the first house built in Catawba County. Adam Sherrill and
his family came from Virginia
where they had lived for a short term. The exact period is not known.
Originally, he had migrated from Pennsylvania to
Virginia. He settled about one mile west of the River. The community
of Sherrill's Ford got its name from the ford that
Adam Sherrill crossed in 1747. Adam Sherrill was given a land grant
which was not received until April 1749, This land was then a part of Bladen
County until 1749. when it became Anson County. In 1769 the county was
named again,
this time Tryon. Lincoln County was established in 1779 and Catawba
County was not formed until 1842. The number
of acres of land was not found. The first house built by Adam was a
form of stockade, solely for protection from the Indians
and to house his family until a more suitable home could be built.
This first home of the family was built very close to the
present house, located about 100 feet from the present dwelling. Built
of logs, this stockade was destroyed by fire.
There is a large monument located at Sherrills Ford in North Carolina. Below in the inscription.
"This boulder commemorates the crossing of the Catawba River by Adam
Sherrill
The Pioneer with his eight sons and others in 1747 at the ford
which bears his name.
Erected by his descendants Aug 2, 1929"
