Notes;


Possibly Stephen Sherwood used the $1000 he eventually received from the 1836 promissory note (bottom of page)  from George J. Goodhue of LaSalle, Illinois for this purchase in Kenosha, Wisconsin.   Deeds show Stephen Sherwood with land transaction in Lake County, Illinois and Kenosha County Wisconsin after this time.  Some of the people he did business with included Albert P Smith, Morris Lampher, and Hiram Parker.  A further study on his land transactions in Lake and Kenosha Counties would add to Stephen Sherwood's life story.
