I'm trying to find the marriage record for Sarah Sherwood and a Mr. Jameson. They were married some time around 1810 probably in Westchester County. Sarah was the daughter of Nehemiah Sherwood and Mary Shelly. They were living in Bedford, NY at the time of Sarah's marriage. Does anyone know what church they attended?

Hi Barbara, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania have always had more Sherwoods than you can shake a stick at. So you would think that New Jersey, smack dab between NY and PA, would have its fair share, but that's not the case. NJ Sherwoods are rare birds. From the 17th through mid-19th century there are just a handful scattered throughout New Jersey like stray seeds blown by a misguided wind. That's a good thing as far as you're concerned. It should make your job of locating the earliest Samuel that you mentioned all the easier. I don't know your Samuel's line, but there's a possibility that he is Samuel SHERRERED or SHERRERD of Sussex Co, NJ. He would have lived in the late 1700s to early or mid 1800s. Don't be put off by the spelling. Over the years, "Sherwood" can become any surname remotely similar in sound. And the opposite can also happen, of course - SHERRERD can easily become SHERWOOD. And it may have nothing to do with generational change in pronunciation; it could be the way a county clerk or census taker heard the name. I know nothing more about Samuel SHERRERD, except that he was possibly the father of Isaac, b. 3 SEP 1801, NJ; d. 12 JAN 1886, New Milford, Susquehanna Co, PA. Isaac m. Hannah ADAMS, 16 AUG 1823, Wantage Township, Sussex Co, NJ. Both Isaac and Hannah are buried in the New Milford Cemetery. If you're interested in researching this line, write to me at my home email address (below) and I can put you in touch with someone who has researched this line, or at least has some family group sheets for them. In late 1829, or 1830, Isaac moved his family to Blakely Twp, Luzerne Co, PA, where they were for the 1830 Federal Census. They lived in this area through the 1840 census until sometime prior to 1847 when they were listed on the tax rolls of New Milford Twp in Susquehanna Co, PA. They had twelve children and farmed in the New Milford area for the balance of their lives. In his will he made bequeaths to those children still living at the time the will was drawn (1879), and to the heirs of his son Lewis, who had died during the Civil War, in Murfreesboro, TN. The will included Hilah and Celia, both of whom died young. It included his son Samuel who had died in Iowa in 1884. Either Isaac did not know of his son's death, or the will simply had not been changed, perhaps with the intention that Samuel's heirs would receive the allotted sum. The youngest son, Albert, was designated as executor and was left the balance of the property. This probably included the farmstead stated to be 180 acres in the 1850 Federal Census. Marriage Reference: "History of the 1st church of Wantage, Sussex, NJ includes churches of Mt Salem NJ; Sussex, NJ; Orange Co. NY" (n.p.: n.pub.), married by Rev. Zelotes Grenell, associated with 1st Baptist Church of Wantage, August 16, 1826, Isaac Sherwood to ___ Adams. Many of Isaac's descendants left Pennsylvania and settled in Iowa and Minnesota. Some of the families that these Sherwoods married were: TINGLEY, SMITH (several), SCHOFIELD, FRAZER, MINER, STODDARD, BENNETT, MORSE, BIRDSALL. Do any of their movements or affiliate families seem to tie into your Sherwoods?

This is part of Sherwood family Diana & I, Barbara are researching. This is one of Samuel Eli's sisters, right? Would be interesting in knowing how far back you have researched. Samuel Eli's father was George Clymer, his father was Samuel m. to Maryetta. Do you have anything prior to that? Do you know anything about the father of Samuel m. to Marryetta? We know his name also was Samuel from NJ, who was married to Nancy? Would be interested in your reply

RootsWeb Message Boards controlled by Ancestry.com are FREE to any user. About a year ago, Ancestry.com bought RootsWeb with the understanding that RootsWeb data would remain FREE to all users. Since Ancestry.com and RootsWeb.com had similar message boards, Ancestry.com has decided to merge the two system regarding the message boards. These merged message boards will remain FREE to all users; however, to prevent internet spiders from collecting email addresses for spam purposes and maintain current users email addresses, Ancestry.com requires a username and password to access these boards. Having an Ancestry.com username and password does not mean that other Ancestry.com databases requiring a fee can be accessed. To the contrary... accessing their fee based databases requires an annual paid subscription for specific services (databases). However, the same username and password can be used to access the RootsWeb Message Boards and Ancestry's subscribed services requiring an annual fee. Happy Huntin' Jim Young

The RootsWeb GenConnect Boards, as they were previously known, have been undergoing change for the past week. For the moment, they are called "RootsWeb Message Boards (insert surname, locality or topic)". These Boards are accessible by clicking on the Queries link for the old surname board. However, anyone wishing to use the changed boards now must establish an "Ancestry.com" username and password. This change-over has been frustrating to many Board Administrators and thus may cause some "Users" a great deal of frustration. Therefore, if anyone has problems with the boards, please contact me privately and I will try to provide assistance. Mailto:myoung@icok.net At the moment, all RootsWeb Message Boards are gatewayed to each corresponding RootsWeb Mailing List meaning when a query or data is posted on the Board, it will also be posted on the List shortly thereafter. In some cases, it may not be obvious that a List message is coming from a Board post; however, a line in header within the message will indicate such. That headed is: Sender: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Hopefully, sometime in the future, programmers will include a URL link within the body to the Board post. Regards, Jim Young

Wish I could help. My rec. indicate that Philip had a dau. Margaret w. m. Francis James. Do you have any info on his son Sherwood Sr. and his g.s. Sherwood Jr. as to their wives? Also, Sherwood Jr. had a dau. Martha who m. Richard Singleton and my line goes on from there. Fred

Hi Sherwoods, I have a Catherine Wetmore Sherwood b. abt 1804-1805 somewhere in Maine, who married Josiah Phelps and had children Lydia Eliza Phelps and Amanda Malvina Phelps. After Josiah's death, Catherine then married Stillman Putman Tucker. I believe her marriage to Josiah was in 1824 but I will have to double check. I believe all of this took place in Lubec and Eastport, Maine. Just thought I would mention her as we were talking about Catherine Sherwoods. Celia

All I know is that Catharine married Richard L.T.Marsh in Marion County, IL on April 26, 1857, and had three children; Mary, Harley W., and George. She had a sister who married a man named Goodale, and had two children named Louis and Gus Goodale. I have no further information. Thanks for your help. Cinda

No known relative named Catherine. Do you have any further information on Catherine, or the SHERWOOD line you are interested in? I have come across some further information concerning this particular line of my research.

I have Mina May Sherwood in my husband's line - parents William H. Sherwood and Cynthia M. Hull - b. 23 March 1877 in Hebron, PA. I don't have Minnie listed as one of her siblings. Mina married James W. Atkinson; they had 10 children. William Henry Atkins is my husband's grandfather. I do have a Minnie born to Richard Sherwood and Cordelia Grimes, 1876, Port Allegany, PA.

Did your Nathaniel have a relation named Catherine/Catharine who was born around 1835-1840? Cinda

Do you have dates for the birth of the children, particularly Catherine? Cinda

Do you have dates for the birth of the children, particularly Catherine? Cinda

Looking for any information on a Catharine Sherwood who married a Richard L.T. Marsh in Marion County, IL on April 26, 1857. She would probably have been born between 1830 and 1840, perhaps on the east coast. Does she fit anyone's tree? Cinda Marsh

I dont know if this will help. I have an Ada Ann Sherwood who married Frank Klein. Ada was born 17 Jan 1886 in Lycoming county PA. The names are so similar but could be completely unrelated
