Hi Marilyn, How does your family tie in with this Shepherd family? My 3rd great grandmother was Phoebe Judd, who married James Paul, Sr. Her parents were Nathaniel Judd, Jr. & Delphia Shepherd. Delphia was a daughter of John Shepherd, Sr. & Sarah Jennings and a sister to Stephen. Some accounts say that John Shepherd, Sr. was married to Sarah Rash, not Sarah Jennings. Do you have anything on this? Thanks much. Betty Putnam ----- Original Message ----- From: "J & M.

Actually, much of what I have came from Morris Shepherd and another Shepherd researcher. My tie is from Irena B. Shepherd, granddaughter of John & Sarah Jennings and dau. of Andrew Shepherd and Barbary Phillips. She was the second wife of my Jackson D. Richardson who was first married to Malinda Meece............There are a couple of other tie in's with the Richardsons also, but nothing direct............... Marilyn
