• Notes

  The Death Certicate for John S. Shepard shows the relation of the informant as 'Carpenter'. Although I have a copy of a certified death certificate, this is obviously an error. The online 'Death Records Indexing Project' at the Library of Virginia shows the relation of the informant as 'son'. Source of information: Halifax County, 1857, page 27, line 29. Shapard, William to Thomas Shapard & Francis Royster. "convey and transfer to John Shapard, son of the said William Shapard, one Negro boy named Abram & to Robert Shapard, son also of the said William Shapard one Negro boy named Dick as their own absolute right & property of which Negroes the said William is now possesses..." Children of William were Samuel, Mildred, William, Elizabeth, Royster, James, Lewis, Thomas, Mary, John, Anne, Barnett & Robert. (DIT-1807, pp. 49-51, book T)
