I don't know what the history is, but it seems like a bit of a coincidence!
I think coincidence is the key word here.

The word "Fleetwood" per a variety of online sources, the first being Dictionary of American Family Names by Oxford University Press:

Definition of Fleetwood

English: probably a habitational name from a lost or unidentified place named with Old English fleot ‘stream’, ‘estuary’ + wudu ‘wood’. The place of this name in Lancashire got its name in the 19th century from its founder, Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood, and is not the source of the surname.
