I'm searching for my Great-Aunt Goldie Payton born in MO (Gentry CO.) around 1907 or so. Her mother died in 1920 and and I lost track of her then. She had a half-sister and brother named Ona Mann, and WM Mann. her father was Jonas Payton. Can you tell me more about your Goldie? Shirley

Richard, could it have been the town of Washington (known now as "Little Washington") in Rappahannock Co., VA? That was sort of on the westward migration route of some Shepards/Shepherds/Sheppards. Others may well have been in the VA county of Washington, down toward Virginia's "toe." When I used to drive U.S. 15 from North Carolina into Virginia in the 1960s and 70s, a small green sign marked a tiny place called SHEPARDS somewhere not far from Wylliesburg. It's not on the map and I haven't driven US 15 for years, so I don't know if even the sign is still there. But at some long-ago point there were SHEPARDs in Southside Virginia in Halifax or Mecklenburg county--and if they stayed in that latitude, working westward, they'd have come to Washington County after 150 miles or so. My own search continues (after years) for parents for my GG Grandfather Dr. JAMES WILLIAM SHEPPEARD, b. at or near Parkersburg, Wood/Wirt Co., WVA/VA on March 21 1822. This spelling may have begun when his birth was recorded; the parents were likely Sheppard or Shepard. Despite a lot of help from kind Shepard researchers, it's a real brick wall so far.
