It is my understanding that our name did in fact derive from "Sheepwash"There are a couple of stories about the "Sheepwash" name.I have a family history dated back to Ambrose Shipwash (1660-1726) who came to the U.S. as an indentured servant. I did find a historical fact of a ship in the English navy name "Her majesty the Shipwash"
