My gggrandfather was Stephen Shepherd. He and his son, my gggrandfather, James (Thomas) Shepherd were both buried at the Webb Cemetery. I looked for the graveyard some 40 years ago where my father said it was--on the Mount Olive road. I found a small fenced lot just on the side of the road some 3/4 miles from Ky 76. It was overgrown with honeysuckle. I found a few field stones but couldn't identify anyone in the plot. I went back many years later and it had been plowed under. A few years ago, some cousin said that a Webb Cemetery was located about 1-1/2 miles off KY 76 on a private road going north off the Mount Olive road. I went there but couldn't find any marked stones for the Shepherds even though there are a lot of old field stones there. Is Stephen Shepherd our common ancestor? --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

Hi Morris You and I have emailed many times before...................Without going into my files this time of the night/morning.......and only thru memory, I would say we are connected thru Irena B. Shepherd/Sheppard, second wife of Jackson D. Richardson. She was daughter of Andrew Shepher and Barbery Phillips and granddaughter of John Shepherd and Sarah Jennings. Stephen Shepherd was a brother of John Shepherd, b: about 1768/9 in Spotsylvania, VA and emigrated to Russell Co., KY where he died in 1825. I just have never heard about Webb's Cemetery. I know there are lots of those little family cemeteries that have been long plowed under or trampled down (like our Acre/Acree cemetery off Old Providence Road where many of my Acre/Deener ancesters are buried and last look, only one crooked stone remained).............. I think there is another connection thru the Robertsons also, but it is deep. Marilyn
