Alexandra was possibly born in Stockwell, although this is not 100%. Her date of birth as far as I know is 13.10.1914 and her death was around October 2006 in Ramsgate.

Edmund was possibly born in Wandsworth (or Lambeth), his mother's maiden name was COLE.

They lived during theiir married life in Mitchem, Surrey

Hope this is of some help

Re: Owczykowski meant Shepard in Polish

lswonder4841 — 2012-04-02 17:10:41Z

I have just started back in my search, but 10 years ago I wrote to all the Shepard's in the Danville and Milton phone book(s) and had a reply from one who said her family name had been changed. I belive her relatives were from Poland and this surname rings a bell. It will be a while before I get those papers in order, but if you are still looking I'll make a note of it. Steve shepard

Ashbel Shepard

danharden3177 — 2012-03-05 21:33:12Z

Believe it or not 7 years and I'm still looking for info on this man.
Ashbel Shepard; born 1804 in Vermont, married a Margaret ??? who was born in Valley Forge Pa,. By the 1850's he was in the Jackson/ Wood county area of West Virginia, he served in the home guard during the Civil War and was a hotlier(sp) after that. His daughter Mary married Osburn P. Rowley .Before he showed up in West Virginia I can find Nothing on him. All the Ashbel Shepards from Vermont in his era are accounted for. Does anyone have anything on him?

Re: Ashbel Shepard

Sisson42 — 2012-03-05 19:52:11Z

I don't have anything new on Ashbel SHEPARD 1804 VT? - 1885 WV, but I have been looking for him too.
Ashabel and Margaret (MNU) are my 3rd great grandparents through Osburn ROWLEY and Mary Elizabeth SHEPARD.
1880 Census Record had his name spelled as Allen but he stated birth place as VT, father Mass, mother VT.

Ashbel and Margaret had at least two other children. Somebody else has to be looking for them.

Re: Smith Y. Shepard of Essex Co Va

CynthiaSouthern — 2011-12-21 20:46:26Z

Hi again Ollie,

Smith Y. Shepherd had a sister Elizabeth and another sister Patsey, who married John Foreacres (not sure of the exact last name spelling).

Mary G. Shepherd had a sister Frances and also a sister named Patsey, who married James Boughton.

Thomas Smith Shepherd (Sheppard) and Flora M. Brooks had a daughter Elizabeth born about 1916 in Virginia. She appears in the 1920 Census with Thomas and Flora living in Bruton, York County, Virginia and is listed as 3 years and 9 months old.

John in Florida

Re: Smith Y. Shepard of Essex Co Va

CynthiaSouthern — 2011-12-21 20:18:48Z

Hi Ollie,
We have emailed before. I spent a few hours in the Clerk's Office in Tappahannock three days ago going through records and found a little new in
formation.
It looks like Smith Young Shepherd married Mary Gilly or Gilby Sheperd(2 differnt spellings in 2 different records), daughter of Reuben and Elizabeth (Betsy) Shepherd. Yes, Shepherd married Shepherd. They had one son Charles R. born about 1838. Mary G. died about 1840 and that is how Smith Y. got the land (Reuben's land) that Smith Y.'s 5 children inherited.
Smith Y. married Frances Brizendine after Mary G. died and had 4 more children; John E, James William, Mary F. and Emily Eudora.
All 3 of Smith Y.'s sons were in the 55th during the War of Northern Aggression ;-) and their names are on the Monument in front of the Courthouse in Tappahannock. Charles R was killed at Chancellorsville, William was killed at the Battle of Mechanicsville and John E. was seriously wounded, lost a leg I think. Not a good time for this family.
I'm pretty sure Smith Y.'s parents were Ephraim Shepherd and Rebecca Selton. Not sure of Rebecca's parents other than her father was a Shelton and her mother was a Young, the daughter of Henry Young Jr. Henry Young Jr. had a brother named Smith Young. Probably where her son got his name Smith Young Shepherd.
Smith Y. Shepherd'd mother Rebecca was the granddaughter of Revolutionary War General Henry Shepherd Jr. (1743-1817)
Charles R. Shepherd and Alice Ann Boughton's son Thomas Smith Shepherd had three wives; Mary C. Cooke, Rosa F. Courtney and Flora M. Brooks.
Hope this helps a little.
BTW, my ancestors James H Shepherd and his wife Nancy Collins lived on the land Smith Y. got when his wife Mary G. (Reuben Shepherd's daughter) died. Their names are mentioned in subsequent documents and lived next door to Charles R. in the 1860 Census. If you run across James H Shepherd or Nancy Collins in your endeavors, plese let me know. I'm sure the two families are connected, but have not yet found the connection.

My dad's mother disappeared from Parkersburg, WV around 1962. She may possibly have been involved in the Hicks Black Market Baby ring. She went by several names including Georgia, Verl, Verle, and Peggy. She also used the surnames Shepard, Sheppard, and Hartley.

Re: Scotland then Ohio

According to recent DNA results, Hartley Shepard descends from William Shepard and Experience Hart of Connecticut and Westfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts. He is most likely English in ancestry.

Eldad Shepard/Amelia Shepard/Rebecca Seymour

sjg43 — 2011-09-17 19:15:57Z

I have Amelia Shepard,b 28 Mar,1782 Hartford,Ct, confirmed as the wife a DAR Patriot. Her father is also eligible for DAR -if I can find the proof.

Does anyone have a source for Eldad Shepard,b.30 Nov,1740,Hartford,Ct;d.13 Aug 1807 Granville,Ma ? I found his death listed in the Vital Records of Granville,Ma. He married Rebecca Seymour 28 Jun 1767 in Hartford.

I need proof he was Amelia's father and if he had other children.

Thanks

I am the 9th great grandchild of Thankslord Perkins and Ralph Shepard. I have been reviewing your post as well as others on the ancestry of Thankslord Perkins. Are you certain that Thomas Lord and Dorothy Bird were her parents? The probated will of Dorothy Bird makes no mention of Thankslord and I have read that there is question about the Lord connection. I have read reports were the Lords were considered her parents and other reports stating that the "lord" part of her name was just part of her given name, having no connection to Thomas and Dorothy and that her actual maiden name is Perkins. Can you clarify this? Thank you for your assistance. I can be reached at: sandykohn226@gmail.com

Looking for a Vernon Shepard who married a Viola Kidder Turner. They had at least one son, William Eugene. William Eugene would have been born abt 1922. He shows up on the 1930 census but his mother has remarried a Storer by then. I do not know if Vernon is the first name. I do not know if Shepard has only one "p" but that is how it was listed on the census. This was in Ohio around Adams county area. Thanks

Re: Isaac Shepard

lpaterno66 — 2011-05-30 00:42:02Z

The birth dates listed on censuses are not always accurate because records were not as well kept as the are now. It is possible they were born in 1826 or 1823. Would have to find actual birth or christening information to verify it.

Re: Isaac Shepard

tnlion — 2011-05-29 17:32:36Z

Good Morning
I am confused about my Isaac. The 1880 census gives his age as 53. The 1870 census gives his birthyear as 1826. I have him born Aug 14, 1826. And I have listed Catherine's birthdate as 12 Oct. Do you know when they were married? It was probably in OH.
My e-mail address is TNLion@aol.com

Re: Isaac Shepard

lpaterno66 — 2011-05-29 11:18:22Z

According to the 1900 census your Isaac's date of birth is listed as Aug 1823 and his wife of 45 years Catherine is listed as Oct 1823. It also says they were married in 1855. They spelled his name as Sheppard in that census. Your best will be to try and track down their marriage certificate if you can. Unfortunately this doesn't say where they were married.

Re: Jonathan Shepard in Indiana

IvaSueShepard — 2011-04-19 19:47:46Z

1870 census says Jonothan was born in Ohio
1860 says he was born in Indiana.
Jonathan and Nancy Barnhart were married in Connersville, Indiana on 22 Aug 1852. The had 8 children all born in Indiana:
1. Anna b. 1853
2. John Greeley b. 1856 d. 31 Jul 1936 Laurel, Indiana
3. Douglas Stephen b. 1859
4. Thomas M b. Jul 1861
5. Elta b. 1865
6. Marshal b. 1871
7. Harry b. 1873
8. William b. 1876

Given that the last child was born in 1876 and the 1880 census says that Nancy was a widow, Jonathan had to have died between 1875 and 9 Jun 1880 census date.

Please can anyone tell me who and where Jonathan came from.
Thanks

Jonathan Shepard in Indiana

IvaSueShepard — 2011-04-19 19:46:32Z

Looking for any info on Jonathan Shepard b. 1827 in Indiana and I'm asuming that he died between 1875 and 1880 because 1870 is the last census I find on him and the last child was born in 1876. Enlisted in Company K, 69th Infantry Regiment Indiana. Married Nancy Ann Barnhart on 22 Aug 1852 in Fayette County, Indiana. Have their marriage license. Jonathan and Nancy had 8 children: Anna, John Greeley, Douglas Stephen, Thomas M, Elta, Marshal, Harry and William. Lived in Fayette, Union and Franklin counties of Indiana. Would love to know who his parents were and where they were from.
Thanks

Re: Jonathan Shepard in Indiana

IvaSueShepard — 2011-04-19 19:45:02Z

Updated facts on the Jonathan Shepard I am looking for:

b: abt 1826 in INDIANA because the 1880 census that I found on his wife Nancy Ann Barnhart with some of the children say the children's father was born in Indiana.
Jonothan is not in that census, so he is either deceased or they divorced?

His last child, by Nancy was William born in 1876 +-1 in Indiana.

I know Nancy Ann Barnhart was b: 1833 +-1
