Subject: [SHERWOOD] Sherwood, Matthew - 1673 Fairfield militia
Dear Sherwood researchers,
Can anyone confirm that the Matthew Sherwood found in A Catalogue of the Names of the First Puritan Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut. Hartford, CT: - , 1846, and quoted below is my 7th Great Grandfather Matthew Sherwood who married Mary Fitch and was the son of immigrant Thomas Sherwood, who came
over on the ship "Francis". And, I'd like to ask if anyone has further documentation that I have the correct Matthew Sherwood. I'm told that my Matthew Sherwood was a Captain in the Fairfield militia, but I don't have any
specific records of proof for it. I'm curious as to just what events were taking place right at this time that 500 "dragoons" would need to be "ready to march at an hour's notice" or was that standard for most militia at the
time?
"Matthew Sherwood, of Fairfield, in 1673, a descendant of Thomas, (in No. 2.)
In 1673, the grand committee appointed for ordering the militia of Connecticut, after the Legislature had ordered to be raised 500 dragoons to be ready to march at an hour's warning--appointed Matthew Sherwood ensign,
Thomas Fitch, captain, and Jehu Burr, lieutenant for Fairfield troops."
