Sherwood Family Crest in England

Crest is a dexter hand proper holding the branch of a rose tree argent, leaved vert.
Have extensively searched Sherwoods of Fairfield, CT, and back through England,
most possibly related to many Royals.

There are however, a number of different Sherwood crests. The one to which you
are refering can be found in the Royal Book of Crests of Great Britain and Ireland.
Also see Fairbain's Book of Crests, Fig.10, Pl;ate 218.

The white rose indicates that our ancestors were "Yorkists" as the white rose was
their badge.

ps there is a Blazon of Arms: Argent, a chevron sable between three mullets.

I just have two "tiny" pieces of information from the book "Tidewater Maryland Architecture and Gardens, a Sequel to Early Manor and Plantation Houses of
Maryland" by Henry Chandlee Forman, 1936. In the chapter entitled "Crooked Intention on Second Creek - One of the original grants of land given by Charles
Calvert, Lord Baltimore, to Hugh Sherwood, comprised 130 acres under the name of Crooked Intention. The Patent was dated July 5, 1681, and tract lay in Talbot
County on the north side of the Choptank River, between that river and the St. Michael's or Miles River. Then, in 1696, fifty acres of 'Crooked Intention' were sold
by Hugh Sherwood to Robert Harrison I. Sherwood died in 1710."

There is a sketch of the floor plan; I don't know which of these two men built the house.
There was no other listing for the surname Sherwood in this particular book.
