Notes |
- I have other information on John Sherwood as follows: Captain John Sherwood appears in Orcutt's "History of Stratford," and in Donald Lines Jacobus' "History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield." Orcutt,
pages 577 and 1292, shows John Sherwood as born 22 September 1705; baptized 4 November 1705; deceased 17 July 1779, Stratfield, Fairfield Co, Connecticut; buried Stratfield Burying Place, Stratfield, Connecticut. His gravestone reads: "Here lyes Buried the Body of Captain John Sherwood, who departed this Life September 17th, 1779, in ye 74th year of His Age." He married Mary Walker 14 June 1733 Stratford Congregational Church. In the vital records and church records of Cornwall and Bridgeport, Connecticut, John Sherwood is titled "Sgt" and then promoted to "Capt.". The chronology of John Sherwood's service in the Stratfield Company of Militia is: Sergeant in 1733; Ensign in May 1741; Lieutenant in Oct. 1745; Captain in May 1747.
