The earliest record of Philip Sherwood is a notation in the Old
Rappahannock
Co., Virginia order Book 1, (1683-1686), pp. 173-174,
4 September 1685: Whereas Philip Sherwood late of this County dyed
seized and possessed in Fee of a certain tract of Land lying and being
on the north side of [the] Rappahannock River in the freshes therof
which
said land doth now lawfully come and Vest in Mary, Martha, Sarah, and
Ann
the four daughters & coheirs of the said Philip Sherwood and
whereas
Thomas Marshall who marryed Sarah one of the said coheirs did in right
of his wife bring this action in this Court against Francis James who
marryed
Mary the Eldest of the said daughters and shows that the sd. James did
marry contrary to law and without the mutual consent of the said
Sisters
and coheirs make division of the Land aforesaid. But it evidently made
appear that Mary and Martha the two eldest daughters of the sd Philip
Sherwood
were of full age and did Consent to the division of the land and
seriously
weighing the matter have ordered that the division of the sd land
already
made to continue good and firme untill such time as the youngest Sister
daughter of the sd Philip Sherwood shall move for a new division
thereof.
