Hi Sue, I too am a Sherwood descendant: Thomas the immigrant, through Stephen , through Jonathan. I have Joseph listed as born in 1666 and Nathaniel in 1672 with three more births in between. Where would you be slipping Elizabeth in? There are four years between Nathaniel and Jonathen according to my records. Elizabeth could certainly "slip in" there. I haven't looked at the LDS records, so I can't really comment on them.
