    1. [SHERWOOD] Abby Jane Sherwood - NY information needed please
    2. Hi Judy, Abby Jane Sherwood was b. c1804 (NYGBR, Vol. 116, p. 85), dau. of Nehemiah Sherwood (b. 6 APR 1764, Rye, Westchester Co, NY; d. 28 JUL 1844, Greenwich, Fairfield Co, CT) and Phebe PURDY (NYGBR, Vol. 116, p. 87). Abby Jane's siblings were: Betsey, b. 1 JUN 1787; d. 22 JUL 1848 John Calvin (went by his middle name), b. c1795; m. Polly STEADWELL Jotham, b. 1797, Rye, NY; d. 13 APR 1850, Rye, NY; m. Olivia LYON James Harvey, b. c1805; m. Deborah M. PARKS Phebe, b. 1806 Abby Jane m. _____ BRUNDAGE, and had the following children: James Harvey (probably the Harvey Brundage that you wrote about; quite possibly named after her brother James Harvey), b. 1835 (NYGBR, Vol. 116, p. 85) Frederick, b. 1838 Thomas, b. 1840 All of the foregoing information is from the "New York Genealogical and Biographical Review", Volume 116 (if I am correctly remembering what the acronym "NYGBR" stands for). Abby Jane's Sherwood line is descended from Thomas the Immigrant through his son, Stephen. From Stephen the line goes - Nathaniel, Nehemiah, Nehemiah, Abby Jane. If you have any further information on Abby Jane or her siblings, I'd love to hear from you.
