Dear brewmyster; In regard to http://www.fies-fees.org/TRay/d0000/g0000072.html#I4474 But Becky Fees husband is not "unknown Shepherd"! They were my 2x greatgrandparents! His name was John C. Shepherd. Her name was Rebecca Fees. John C. & Rebecca Shepherd nee Fees had seven children. Would you like to know about them? And what about Rebecca's sister Dicey Fees?
