*St Clement Danes was a civil parish in the metropolitan area of London, England. The parish was split between the Liberty of Westminster and the Liberty of the Duchy of Lancaster. Much of the former parish is now occupied by the site of the London School of Economics, and the Strand, in the extreme southeast of the City of Westminster.

*It took its name from the dedication of the church of St Clement Danes. It is recorded in the early 12th century as parochia Sancti Clementis ecclesie Dacorum or 'the parish of St Clement's church of the Danes'. The name suggests there were Danes living in the area, to the west of the City of London, England.

Thomas Chetwood 1630-1678 died intestate in 1678.

The inventory brought in by Edward Carter, Robert Newsum and Walter Wallace named Elizabeth Chetwood, relict of Thomas Chetwood, defunct. The estate of £2000 was granted to his widow in 1678 with Capt. William Ball, Attorney. No mention of lands or children, though he had both. In March, 1669, Mr. Thomas Chetwode was granted a certificate for transporting certain persons, including Elizabeth Chitwode. As early as 1664, Elizabeth Chetwode gave power of attorney to Marquo Barret. The evidence is that Thomas and Elizabeth Chetwood were married in England.

"That he made many trips across the ocean is shown by headrights granted in 1658 by Mr. Wm. Underwood for bringing in Thomas Chettwood three times and in 1661 to 'Thomas Chitwode for transporting himself three tymes', with others. In his lifetime he deeded land to many of the prominent colonists in Lancaster and adjoining counties. Among them were William Travers, Jno. Chinley, Marquo Barret, Will Wroughton, Nicholas Wren, Thos. Hearley, Richard Overton, Henry Stoneham, Edward Carter and Edward Dale.

1668 Thomas and Elizabeth Chetwood convey all their interests to William Ball. Note: During the eighteenth century, Sherwood Forest was one of the largest tracts of land in Stafford County. The house is located on a lovely hill which overlooks the Rappahannock River. Source: They Called Stafford Home, by Jerrilynn Ely
