Hi Robert Sherwood -
Did you notice (by now) that you jumped from Sidney's birth in 1829 to 1940 when he married?He's setting some sort of age record, eh?
I have a Sidney Sherwood who was born in Aug. 1827 in Delaware Co., Ohio to Lewis Sherwood and Lockey Adams.This Sidney had five brothers and one sister (Charles L. Sherwood, John S., George S., then Sidney, Lafayette S., Sarah S. and Nathan S.)
Sidney married Caroline WEEKS on July 4, 1848 in Delaware Co., Ohio.
In 1856 the family settled in Clinton Co.,Iowa.
He farmed when he returned from the Civil War.
I have no death date, but it was probably in Clinton County, Iowa.
If any of this connects to your ancestor, let's chat.
