I have Abigail ALLEN bapt 5 Jan 1680\81 and married 9 Oct 1707 to John SHEPHARD. Children: 1. John Shephard, b. 26 Oct 1708. 2. Rebecca SHEPHARD, b. 1 Nov 1710, m. Joseph PECK, 20 Jun 1732 in Newtown. Their daughter Grace PECK m. Jotham SHERMAN. [[one of my direct lines]] 3. Abigail Shephard, b. 22 Oct 1713 4. Hannah Shephard, b. 11 Nov 1715 5. Timothy Shephard, b.22 Mar 1717/18 After John Shephard died, Abigail married Daniel FOOTE. Sources: Genealogies of Connecticut Families, Vol. 1-3, Vol iii, "Descendants of Edward Shephard, Mariner, Cambridge, Mass. 1639", p. 390, #17. Newtown's History and Historian, page 399. I think the Abigail ALLEN born in 1699 was to Abigail Allen Shephard's brother Gideon Allen. Linda
