Historical and Biographical Information
Albert Reuben Sherwood was born on January 8, 1879, near Hope Park in Fairfax County. With no formal schooling, he taught himself reading, penmanship, and architectural drawing. Sherwood initially made his living purchasing property, removing timber for sale, and reselling the property for a profit.
While operating a sawmill at Tyson's Crossroads, he met his wife, Annie Belle Myers. The couple moved to the Town of Fairfax, where Mrs. Sherwood ran Sherwood's Tourist Home and Kamp Washington tourist court. Albert Sherwood went on to found a successful construction company, taking commercial and private contracts throughout northern Virginia.
Albert served for 40 years on the Fairfax Town Council, just before its transition from a town to a city. He sat on the board of directors of The National Bank of Fairfax until his death in 1963. Albert and Annie had four children: Ruth Janet (1914-2000), Albert Maurice (1916-1943), John Myers (1919-2010), and Stacy Charles (1922-2002).
John Myers Sherwood was born in the Town of Fairfax on August 21, 1919. He attended Fairfax High School, where he was a member of the first graduating class in 1936. He went on to study at the University of Virginia and graduated from the McIntire School of Commerce in 1940.
After college, John Myers Sherwood was drafted into military service. He spent the duration of World War II in England as an ordnance officer with the Eighth Air Force. Upon returning home, he began his professional career in the office of the Fairfax County Commissioner of the Revenue. His public service continued for 15 years on the Fairfax Board of Zoning Appeals. He vacated his seat in 1967, upon moving from Fairfax City to Fairfax County.
John Myers Sherwood's banking career began at The Vienna Trust Company in 1949. He became president of The First National Bank of Quantico in 1968 and went on to The Citizens National Bank of Herndon, where he remained until 1977. He founded The George Mason Bank in 1978 and served as the president and CEO until his retirement in 1991. John was also instrumental in the formation of EZ Communications, the ultimate development of Fairfax's original WEEL radio. He served on the board at EZ Communications until the company was sold in 1996.
A founding member of the The Country Club of Fairfax, John Sherwood served on its board for many years. He remained a member until his death in 2010. He married Nan Edna Wolfe in 1949, and their union lasted until her death in 1998. The couple had two daughters: Valerie Sherwood Ford and Nadine Sherwood Stow.
