Thomas A. Sherwood

Thomas A. Sherwood

Thomas A. Sherwood was born in Fort Edward, New York, on October 3, 1791. In 1819, he moved to Savannah, Georgia, where he involved himself with the Baptist ministry. While in Georgia, he helped found Mercer University and in 1857, became president of Marshall College in Griffin, Georgia. Between 1827 and 1860, he collected statistical information on Georgia’s counties and place names, which he compiled into his publication A Gazetteer of the State of Georgia. After his farm in Butts County, Georgia was burned by Sherman’s troops at the end of the Civil War, Thomas Adiel Sherwood moved to Missouri, where he died on August 19, 1879.
