Hi Marilyn, The Nehemiah Sherwood that you mentioned was a son of Nehemiah Sherwood and Elizabeth LYON. There is a reference to him in the NYGBR, Vol. 116, p. 87. His wife was Phebe PURDY. His Sherwood line, from his father on back is: Nehemiah, Nathaniel, Stephen, and Thomas the Immigrant. This Nehemiah was a first cousin of the Nehemiah who m. Mary SHELLY; their fathers were brothers. His Sherwood line is Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Stephen, Thomas the Immigrant. I don't know who John W. Sherwood and Sarah HAIGHT are. It's possible that John is John W. Sherwood, grandson of Nehemiah and Phebe (above), son of John Calvin Sherwood (sometimes referred to by his middle name "Calvin") and Polly STEADWELL (See NYGBR, Vol. 116, p. 85). If you have any further information on any of these Sherwood lines, I would love to hear from you. Are there any other Sherwoods buried in that graveyard?

Thanks Geoff. The notes I have came from my cousin Jason Gervase. The 4 Sherwoods I listed are the only ones he shows buried in that cemetery. I'm going to get the film again and check out what Willsons are buried there, since we have discovered a Willson connection. The person that really interests me in this cemetery is "Dorinda, wife of Charles Jimmerson, died 11 March 1841, age 26 years, 3 months, 1 day". I suspect that Charles Jimmerson was a grandson of Nehemiah Sherwood and Mary Shelly through their daughter Sarah Jamison, so I was curious to see how closely the two Nehemiahs were related. One thing genealogy should teach us all is to give children original names! I think there are far too many Nehemiah Sherwoods.
