Sherwood was born in New Milford, Connecticut in 1833. He came to Fillmore County, Minnesota in 1855 and was a farmer and a worker in the newspaper business.
Sherwood was first elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 1859, where he would serve two terms. Sherwood would run for a nonconsecutive third term in 1862. Upon the start of the legislative session, Sherwood was elected as the second youngest Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives in state history. He assumed the office at the age of only 29, beaten only by George Bradley. He would only serve one term as speaker, running for lieutenant governor. Sherwood would be elected fourth lieutenant governor of Minnesota, serving from 1864–1866 under governor Stephen Miller.
In 1878, Sherwood settled in Franklin County, Tennessee and platted the community of Sherwood, Tennessee that was named for him.[1] He died in Chicago, Illinois in 1895.[2][3]
