William Sherwood and Mary "Polly" Wixom married in 1813 in Putnam county, New York. Three years later, about 1816, they left their home in Dutchess county and relocated, along with parents and others, to the Village of Trumansburg, in the Town of Covert, in Seneca county, New York. About 1924 William and Polly relocated to the Apalachin in the Town of Owego, Tioga county, New York, where they settled on the lower one hundred acres that fifty years later was a part of the John Holmes farm. It was here that they resided the rest of their days. William and Polly had eight children who lived to reach maturity.

Gravesite Details
This is a joint gravestone with her husband. Polly's name and date info is on the left side, William's on the right side. It is hard to read Polly's last name. It is not Sherwood, Wixon, or Wixom. Best guess is Wicksom.
