His father was Francis Sherwood who also came to America. Hugh settled in Talbot County, Maryland in 1661 and started a tobacco plantation. Talbot County is on the Eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Hugh lived near St. Michaels, Maryland. He received land grants from Lord Baltimore and before he died he owned hundreds of acres of land. Hugh was literate and an inventory of his personal belongings when he died showed several books.
