Elizabeth Sheppard Creel was my GGGGrandmother. I have extensive information on her and her family. She actually begins a Sheppard line in this country that starts in the 1820's. As far as I can tell she is not related to any Shepards that lived here previously. I am very interested in and information on Dr. David Creel, whom I believe is the same David Creel that was the Jury Forman at the Aaron Burr Treason trial. I can't actually prove that, though. I would be happy to provide you with any information that I have.
