On 8 Feb. 1745, Daniel married his cousin, Elizabeth Rice (30 Nov. 1709-circa 1791), a daughter of Ralph Howard Rice and Catherine Sherwood. They lived at Auctill (Anctil?) Plantation, in St. Michael's Parish, Talbot County, Maryland. Daniel was an officer in the Talbot County "troops of horse" ie. cavalry militia, from 1740-1748. He was a large land owner.
Daniel and Elizabeth had three children, Daniel Sherwood III (1749-1838, m. Frances Linthicum, 2nd m. Rachel Layton, went to Guilford Co., NC), Hugh Sherwood (1751-1829, m. Rebecca Hasty, went to Tennessee), and Mary Sherwood (1753-?, m. Richard Linthicum, cousin of Daneil's wife, went to Guilford Co., NC).
Since Daniel's father and grandfather were members of the Vestry of St. Michael's Church (now Christ Church, St. Micheals), I assume he would have been a member of the Church as well, and that he, and they, would have been buried in the Church cemetery, but that is just an assumption.
