Nathan Olmstead Home (near John Sherwood's property in 1790)

This sign points to the next property.  The next three photos are property near the Nathan Olmstead Home.  The census taker went to the Sherwood family after the Olmstead family so if he went in order, the Sherwoods possibly lived in one of the next three areas.  Property records are not available to help us to better determine exactly where they lived in 1790.


The land is used for a much different purpose today (tennis court) than in 1790

The Olmstead and probably Sherwood home were very close to the border of Bedford.  Sarah Sherwood, daughter of John Sherwood was married to Henry Cramer in Bedford January 19, 1792 by the Reverend Judd of Pound Ridge.  This was exactly 23 years after Sarah's parents had been married by the Reverend Eliphalet Ball of Bedford.
