Notes for: John SHEPPARD

John supposedly came to Ohio in 1812 with his father and siblings, but much research in Ohio has failed to show that he remained there at that time. It seems likely that he returned to live in Maryland.
The late Hon. Carl D. Sheppard (1880-1967) of Akron, Ohio, an Attorney-at-Law, searched for many years to prove that his grandfather Benjamin Kirk Sheppard was the son of this John. Carl D. Sheppard compiled his book "The Benjamin Kirk Sheppard Family". showing that Benkamin K. had two sisters, Sarah and Elizabeth, and he listed the descendants to the present day of Elizabeth Sheppard Jarvis and those of Benjamin Kirk Sheppard. No official records have been located to tie this family to this John; however all the evidence points toward this relationship, with no evidence to the contrary.
