Martha Sherwood F 16y Illinois
David Sherwood M 15y Illinois
Seth Sherwood M 12y Illinois
Ella Sherwood F 6y Illinois
Minnie Sherwood F 2y Illinois

They are living in the Herman Linback (50y Keissbach, Isreal) and Catharine Linback (35y England) household along with another family and a couple of other people.
Apparently this group of people are boarders at the Linback farm. Herman is listed as a farmer.

Interestingly, parents Milton and Sarah Sherwood are living in the G W Martin (M 52y Maryland) and Mary H Martin (F 47y Massachusetts) household in 1870 in Sacramento, San Joaquin Co., CA:
Milton Sherwood M 41y New York; farmer
Sarah Sherwood F 36y New York

Milton's real estate is valued at $6,000 and personal property is valued at $1,000. It turns out that there are only about 8 households (farms) separating Milton & Sarah from their children. (???)
