Home at Last






John Sherwood's (Sr.) home in Dantown, Connecticut is now under a reservoir






.John Sherwood's (Sr.) home in Poundridge  New York was near where the Nathan Olmstead Landmark home (above) is now.  The home may have been on this property (below) as John Sherwood was listed next to Nathan Olmstead by the census taker in 1790.

 The blog, "The Sherwood Story" gives more details on these two locations.




A Home At Last

Finally,  a picture of a real Sherwood home.   Their lumber yard was across the street.  It was run mostly by Orin, William, and John Sherwood (Sons of Stephen Sherwood).  Stephen was a grandson of John Sherwood Sr.

 Is the older man on the left Stephen Sherwood? This may have been Orin's home as his brothers, William and John, were living in Clover Valley.  I would say this picture was taken in the 1870's.

   Look closely at the previous two pictures and you will see a resemblance, but they  don't have the air conditioning attached to the front window.  I just want to go inside and look around.

After this article was posted, Art Sherwood sent this photo from Google Earth.  Apparently the home has been remodeled since the previous picture was taken.

THIS YOU TUBE VIDEO CELEBRATES THE LIVES OF JOHN AND LOVISA BURTIS SHERWOOD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


John and Lovisa Burtis Sherwood were married nearly 245 years ago (January 19, 1769) by the Reverend Eliphalet Ball of Bedford, New York.  I invite you to go along with me as I follow their crumbs along the trail from Green's Farms, Connecticut to Wurtsboro, New York.  John and Lovisa were the Grandparents of Stephen Sherwood.
