Research Note

John Norwood, b. abt 1605, who immigrated to Maryland and became Sheriff of Anne Arundel County, may be the son of Richard Norwood, wife unknown or Tyringham Norwood, but cannot be the John who is the son of Richard Norwood who married Elizabeth Steward because Richard's John died in 1648, while the John who became Sheriff of Anne Arundel County lived considerably longer than that.

Therefore John Norwood is disconnected from the profile of Richard Norwood.
