Well, would you not know it, but those other email addys are no longer valid. Sorry, but thought maybe they might be still good, have only 2007 dates on their data bases. At least I tried.

JDWILSON23Sept2007. He kindly listed his telephone number also, and I gave him a call. Just trying to see if there was something I was missing re this family SHEPHERD/SHEPARD. William. Sarah COCHRAN. Thomas SHEPHERD/SHEPHARD/SHEPARD/SHEPAR T Found that it would appear that William's father was born in New Jersey, yet, William, he is listed as being born in WALES. So thought maybe that might be a little problem in some of the input on the various gene sites. He said the same thing. He had just been doing some research, to where it cross matched and linked with this other person's research. So he imported it to his files. Now however, in looking at the William SHEPHERD/SHEPARD and Sarah COCHRAN, seems maybe that several people have added them into the several familes of SHEPHERD/SHEPHARD/SHEPAR T when in fact, may not be the same family members at all. A person can't be in Wales, and in New JERSEY in the United STATES in the same time frame, having children. Not with out some explanation. Did Does anyone else notice these differences, and just has not yet corrected their files???? Again, Just asking. SHROPSHIRE WALES. Great BRITAIN, ENGLAND. and IRELAND also. All same names, William, Sarah, and their child Thomas born 1705. He also born in Various places, too. Prince Georges County, Maryland. But also in New Jersey, so you see why I AM ASKING QUESTIONS for you all. Granted this family unit is listed on at least 60 data bases alone on rootsweb. So not sure how many other place it is also appearing. Also note that a couple have that Temperance CORY died in 1 8 68. which is 100 years later on. So that must be a typo RIGHT??? Sorry, just wished to call attention, in case, we are really talking about very separate families, just that the names, just happen to be the same. Please exuse my meddling. Patricia cw Also that William is listed as dying in not only Prince George's Co. Maryland But also in Prince George's Co. Virginia. And that Sarah is listed as being born in Wales, England, and Maryland. In a message dated 1/19/2009 1:18:11 A.M.

Pacific Standard Time Subj: Re: [NJSUSSEX] Shepard and dates Patricia, It seems "Temperance" was a popular name then. I seem to have two of them. Temperance Cory, supposedly the spouse of Abraham Shepard. And their daughter, Temperance Shepard, the spouse of George Oldfield. My Mary Shepard is the sister of the latter Temperance Shepard Oldfield. I think this is true because Mary Shepard married William Willis Pearce who, with his brother, seemed to be in the Oldfield household as young men.

Nothing else. I supposed, again, very bad, assume, comes along with supposing, that way back when at the beginning of the RootsWeb web site, the original 250, Cheska WHEATLEY, etc, not everyone was very good about making sure their sources and references were as accurate as possible. Maybe back tracking, you may find a grave stone inscription, and or something else that would account for the death dates. I can only give what I have compiled, and accumulated over time, since 1972. And also now observed. I see that on BUCHROEDER's data base for Temperance, he has her death date as 1 8 68, not 1768. Orange County, New York. And no spouses for her at all. Not really much else help. Save as to how everyone else as their family members listed, and then I have observed over time, how the surnames seem to inter twine around and around each other and mine too. Pat cw Oh Boy, never pays to go looking for stuff, always find the wrong thing. Also see that Mary CORY, is listed as being born in 1827, too. Guess no one has called it to the attenton of all those who have her on their data bases on rootsweb and probably many other gene sites with wrong dates. In a message dated 1/17/2009 10:08:52 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Thank you Patricia and all. This is my line and I understand the Abraham line is somewhat in limbo. None of the names in the Levi/Nathan family track with mine. My problem now is the date of Temperance Cory Shepard's death. Someone has provided "Dec. 1768" and, if possible, I would like to know the source. If Abraham died in 1779, it would explain his daughter Temperance Shepard quickly marrying the widower neighbor, George Oldfield, and taking smaller siblings with her to that household. However, her sister, Mary, my ancestor, married William Willis Pearce, also in the Oldfield household, in Jan. 1791. If she was 16 she would have had to be born in 1774. They had children almost every two years from 1793 to 1810, then another son in 1815. There is no record she died about 1810 and he remarried in Ontario Co. If she did not have the last child, she still would have had to be born about 1770; otherwise, most likely she was born about 1774. I expect W. W. Pearce was born in the mid or late 1760s. So in backdating, I am trying to determine Temperance Cory's dates. I think I was through this before and Jonathan Cory's will mentioned her in about 1770, so I did not think she really expired in 1768 - I think that is one of the problems.
