PATERNAL GRANDPARENTS: Hezekiah Sherwood (b. 1760-d. 1821) & Sybil Jaffords. MATERNAL GRANDPARENTS: Abraham Pease & Sarah Dunham. Milton and Sarah Ann were married 15 Jan. 1851 in Kane Co, Ill. Milton arrived in California by way of Kane Co., Ill. (1853-1864). "He journeyed via the Salt Lake route, by the North Platte and Humboldt rivers, thence over the mountains to Sacramento, Calif. Arrived in that city, he farmed in the vicinity for two years when he returned to his home in New York State, going via the Panama Canal. He returned to California via the Panama Canal, bringing with him his wife and children." (History of Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz Counties) They farmed in Galt, Sacramento Co., CA. By 1875, they were in Elk Grove, Sacramento Co., CA. Milton and Sarah were leading members of the Elk Grove community. The home they built, later known as the Kirby House, and which became the site of the Capital Nursery, was the subject of considerable controversy in 1994 regarding its historic preservation. It is not known if the house is still standing, but the fight for its preservation was led by Joan Allen, a 2-great-granddaughter of Milton and Sarah. Next on their journey through life was to move to Hollister, San Juan Valley, San Benito Co., CA where they ranched. Milton and Sarah retired to Pacific Grove, Monterey Co., CA. where he lived for 15 years until his death. Milton and Sarah had the following children: Martha Alvira (Muirhead) (1853-1932), David Henry (Elizabeth Catherine Nelmes) (1855-1924), Seth Pease (Mary Anna Cyrus) (1857-1948), Mary Serelia (1859-1859), Emma (1860-before 1870), Baby Boy (1862-1862), Ella Ann (Luella)(Warnock)(1864-1951), Minnie May (1867-1874), John Milton (1872-1895), Maude (listed below), and Leon Brewster (married 2 times)(1877-1934). Note: There is some question about his "returning to New York" as his family was living in Illinois at the time. Notes: Son John Milton Sherwood, b. Apr. 20, 1872, Galt, Sacramento Co., CA; d. Sept. 2, 1895, Plato Center, Kane Co., Ill.; he is buried in the Plato Center Cem., Plato Center, Kane Co., Ill.; Memorial 75336954. His sister, Martha Muirhead, is also buried in this cem; see her link on this memorial. A Findagrave Contributor sent info that Sybil Jeffords was the first wife of John Sherwood rather than his mother. John's mother was the unknown first wife of Hezekiah Sherwood. Research continuing to verify this info.
