Notes for Stephen Sherwood:

Was made a freeman of Greenwich, CT, in 1664.He removed to Rye before 1668 when he bought John Coe's home lot on Mansuring Island. (1)

Children of Stephen Sherwood and Rebecca Turney are taken from Sherwood Family Group Sheets compiled by Donald F. Notley, Tulsa, Oklahoma, (1983) in the collection of the Westchester County Historical Society, Elmsford, New York.Notley did not include a daughter Elizabeth, and, to be honest, neither does any other Sherwood researcher. Her "existence" seems to stem only from descendants of John Hoyt and his wife Elizabeth (see notes for Stephen Sherwood, Jr. for further elaboration).Most of these researchers place her birth as ca. 1668, which places her in the birth order between Mary in 1667 and Jabez in 1671.
