<p>Isaac R. Sherwood was born in Stanford, New York, on August 13, 1835. After attending the local public schools, Sherwood attended the Hudson River Institute in Claverack, New York, and Antioch College in Ohio. He then studied law at the Ohio Law College in Poland, Ohio. After finishing school, Sherwood became the editor of the <em>Williams County Gazette</em> in Bryan, Ohio, in 1857.</p>

<p>Sherwood first entered politics in October 1860, when he was elected the probate judge of Williams County. Because of the American Civil War, Sherwood's term as judge was short. Soon after President Abraham Lincoln's call for volunteers in April 1861, Sherwood resigned from his position as judge and enlisted as a private in the Fourteenth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He served throughout the war, ultimately being promoted to lieutenant colonel. </p>
