Message Board Post:
Exactly 200 years ago today (June 10, 1807), my 5th Great Grandparents, John Ripperdan
(1779-1840) and his wife, Mary Shepherd (1783-1861) arrived in Harrison County, IN. They
were one of the first families to live in what would become known as the "Ripperdan
Valley". Mary is said to have ridden on her feather bed during the trip from
Kentucky to Indiana.
John was the son of Frederick and Sarah Ripperdan. Mary was the daughter of William
Shepherd and Isabella McNeal.
Sincerely,
Jesse Stamper
