Notes - Stratford deputy to the Connecticut legislature in Sep 1645, Sep 1649, May 1650, Oct 1653, Oct 1654. War committee for Stratford, Oct 1654.
Not to be confused with the Thomas Sherwood of neighboring Fairfield, who arrived on the Francis in 1634. But DNA evidence published by Gene Chamberlain in 2021 ("Evidence for Identifying Mary Onge of Lavenham, Suffolk, England, as the Second Wife of Thomas Sherwood of Wethersfield and Fairfield, Connecticut", Connecticut Ancestry 63:11, 2021) shows that, most likely, this Thomas Sherwood was a nephew of the Fairfield one, being a paternal grandson of an unknown Sherwood who was the father of the Fairfield man.
