I am still trying to find David(son) Samuel Sheppard in Columbia County. I sent for his death certificate (hopefully it will show at least one parent.) David was born in 1854 and had a sister who we think was named Susan. They moved to Texas after their parents died and went to Bastrop Co, then Milam County. -- Gina Heffernan - researching ARMSTRONG BRAZZIL DISNEY FORREY HEFFERNAN HOLDER MCKINNON MELLEN MILLS O'NEAL PUCKETT RICKERT SENN SHEPHERD SPARKS WILLS and related lines.
