HELP ME IF YOU CAN, this is where the history gets "fuzzy".
William Henry SHEPHARD's parents were (also) William Henry SHEPHARD born
1834 Ky, married Maggie POWELL from Ind sometime in 1854. Supposedly, Wm
Henry's father came from Wales in 1805. I have no dates or other names.
Mary A. CONLEY 's parents were Eliesbeth Weed b 1834 Alabama, d:1962
during
the Civil War while nursing on the battlefield. Father: John Tomas
FRANKEY
b 1830 came from Florence Italy at age 15 (1845) and fought on the
"the side of
the south" (confederate) during the Civil War. John Tomas' brother in
law,
Samuel Jo HOKE married Emme WEED who raised Mary A. CONLEY when
her mother, Eliesbeth WEED, was killed during the war.
I would GREATLY APPRECIATE hearing from you if you have ANY information.
Sincerely,
Klaryse Ellis Adams
