SHERWOODS OF ENGLAND

Dear Lynne,
My paternal ggrandfather was William Alexander Sherwood who was in the British Royal Navy and due to the absence of food aboard ship, jumped ship and ended up in Arkansas.He reportedly was from Maidstone, Kent, England.Due to the circumstances, he changed his surname, Sherwood, to his mother's maiden name of WIGMORE. There are Wigmores in Winchester, Indiana, but I no longer have a connection there.Please let me know if you or anyone reading this posting, knows of this family story.How does one get from England to Arkansas! Coalmines, perhaps? Please e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks for sharing!
