1. | Rose Sherwood was born about 1628 in England (daughter of Thomas Sherwood and Alice Tiler); and died. |
2. | Thomas Sherwood was born about 1586 in England; died about 1655; was buried about 1655 in Stratford Old Burying Ground, Connecticut Colony. Notes: Thomas Sherwood, born in Sherwood Forest*, Nottingham, England, 1586, died in Fairfield, Ct, 1655. He sailed from Ipswich April 21, 1634 in the good ship Francis (John Cutting, Master), and landed in Boston in June of the same year, accompanied by his wife, Alice born 1587, and four children: Ann, born 1620; Rose, 1623; Thomas, 1624; Rebecca, 1625. He settled first at Wethersfield, Connecticut Colony, where his name appears on the second list of settlers other than those from Watertown. He settled in Fairfield, Connecticut Colony, as early as 1643, when his name appears on the Stanford** land records. He served as deputy with Roger Ludlow in the General court, 1650. He brought with him to Fairfield his second wife, Mary [?] by whom he had six more children. His will is dated July 21, 1655 and proved October 26, 1655. *Cutter's assertion that Thomas was born in Sherwood Forest is a flight of fancy that cannot be supported. Also, Dutchess-Beekman Patent Settlers asserts that Thomas was born in Ipswich which cannot be supported either. Just because he sailed from Ipswich doesn't mean he was born there. **Stanford is an erroneous reference. This probably should be Stratford. According to Fairfield County Cemeteries at http://www.ctgenweb.org/county/cofairfield there is a Thomas Sherwood d. 1656 buried at the Old Burying Ground in Stratford. Thomas married Alice Tiler. Alice was born about 1586-1587 in England; died about 1639. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
