Husband's Notes
================================================================================
!CENSUS 1860 Branch Co., Michigan!DEATH:Will Sherwood, Branch Co., Michigan
lists children, and has their signatures when they signed for their share of
the estate. The signature of his son Jacob is identical to the signature of our
Jacob onhis Homesteading papers in Union Co., Oregon and on his Military
Papers.This made it sure we have the right line.But on top of that the wife
of his son Samuel died in Elgin, Union, Oregon.
We are not sure where John was born, but family tradition says Lancaster Co.,
Pennsylvania.
================================================================================
Wife's Notes

!Her name might be Frager, since I found a marriage for a John Swikert and a
Sophia Frager and there is a Frager family buried in the Sherwood Cem. seven
plots away from Anna Sophia's daughter Mary Ann and her family.
