Trinity Co., CA [8] |
- Stephen Sherwood had a mine in Trinity County, CA He was one of the original settlers of White Rock, a ghost town now. He was there from about 1880-1894. He is buried there with his youngest son Wills. Another son, Orin, also died in that area (Weaverville).I believe Stephen went down to San Francisco several times for different reasons. In fact he may have spent some Winters there (possibly with Carrie and her family)."
Stephen Sherwood appears in the 1880 census in Hoboken, Trinity Co., CA, as b. c. 1812, PA, as a widower and a miner, with his father b. in NY and mother in Germany.
