A. H. SHERWOOD, retired farmer, P. O. Magnetic Springs, was born on the shores of Lake Champlain November 26, 1808; he is a son of Samuel and Orinda (Converse) Sherwood. He came to this county in 1822, and settled on " Darby Plains," where he has worked at farming most of his life. He at one time owned 570 acres of land, which he afterward gave to his children. In 1832, he married Irena Beach, by whom he had ten children, viz., Daniel B., whose sketch appears in this work; Samuel; Judith, deceased; Elizabeth, deceased; Mollie, wife of A. H. Andrews; Sarah, wife of Sanford Converse; Amos B., proprietor of Sherwood House, Plain City; Laura (Kilburn); and Charles L., whose sketch appears in this work. Mr. Sherwood gave to each of his children a liberal start in life, either in land or money, and has
himself retired from active life to his home at Magnetic Springs, where he now resides.
