Surnames: Shedd Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YRB.2ACE/931 Message Board Post: Shedd is not in my family; however, by accident of property purchase I find that I have a large number of letters addressed to Henry Shedd circa 1860 to 1900.The address on most letter is "New York City P.O. Ladies Department, New York"; many letters are opened with "Dear brother" others "Dear Father". Most of the letters are postmarked Willsboro, NY. I value the stamps but supsect the content of the letters may be of interest to descendants. I am please to share them. I spit my time between New York City and Esses Co. NY.
