Hi Renne; If you go to Findagrave.com, and enter your Old Pine Grove Cemetery, there is a photo of the Cemetery entrance. There are no Sherwood's listed but the name and Email address of the person taking the photo are listed. You might contact her and see if she is close enough to take a look for your family.
