My ancestor John Riley Shepherd was born in 1795 (around 20 years after the
birth of the Nancy Wells 1773 that married John Boggs). Their son Henderson
was born in 1822, Alfred was born 1826, William 1828, Thomas 1835, Riley
1842, Andrew Jackson Shepherd 1844, Mathias (Silas?)1846. If the Nancy
Wells that married John Boggs was the mother of these children, she would
have been between 60 or 70 when the last one was born... hmm.. She should
either be in the Guiness Book of World Records or this must be a different
Nancy Wells... woops... I'm guessing this is a daughter of one of Zachariah
and Abigail's children because of William and Thomas Shepherd who I believe
were named after a relative. It could be possible Nancy was a daughter of
William or Thomas Wells. I'll have to check up on that. I thought it was
kind of strange when I noticed Elvira (John Riley Shepherd's mother) was
born in 1770 and his "wife" was born in 1773.
Well, I'm off to search... You might need to change your records now...
sorry for the trouble... :-)
