The birthdate you have for my grandfather is correct, he died 12 Feb 1959, Independence, Polk Co., OR. He married (1st) Nellie Elizabeth Williams, 7 Oct 1907, St. Paul, Ramsey, MN. He married (2nd) Phoebe Moon in 1944 in Independence, Polk Co., OR. And, his middle name is Alson, not Alison. I have a lot of information about my Sherwood family from Charles Nelson to current, but I have been stuck in Yates County, NY, where James and Rebecca (Garner) Sherwood were living from about 1830 to 1837, before they struck out for Ohio. I have been looking for parents for both James and Rebecca for about 12 years, parents that can be proven. I'll post this on the Ancestry board so Connie Foulk can see it too.
