Looking for info on Lewis SHEPHERD, who m. Rachael JARVIS on 11 Sep 1818 in Butler Co.,
Ohio. They are listed in Oxford Twp., Butler Co., in the 1820 Census. Lewis is listed
next to William, who may be his father. In 1830, there is a Lewis Shepherd still listed in
Oxford Twp., but my Lewis had moved his family across the state line to Union Co., IN by
that time. (I am not sure how this other Lewis Shepherd ties in--perhaps a cousin?) Lewis
and Rachael had several children, among them Abraham, Elizabeth, Ann, Eve, Walter, and
Mary--there are others, but I am not sure of their names. According to the 1850 and 1860
censuses for Union Co., IN, Lewis and Rachael were both born in PA. Lewis died between
1860 and 1870 and Rachael died sometime after 1880, probably in Union Co. I have found
some members of the family buried in the Drook Cemetery in Union Co. and some in the West
Point Cemetery. I would love to find where Lewis and Rachael are buried, as well as
their dates of de!
ath.
Do any of these names sound familiar to anyone? I hope so! Let me hear from you! Lynn
