Shepherd Family Photos |
|
|
|
I don't know much about the early Shepherd ancestors, but I have a few photos of them. My g-g-grandfather was Jasper Shepherd, a quiet farmer in Miller Co. Missouri. He and his wife raised a large family, and my grandmother Ruby McCubbin, always speaks lovingly of her aunts, all 5 of them! These are some of the photos I have of the family. If you would like copies, please e-mail me with your request. |

Confederate soldier and my great-great-great grandfather, Jacob Shepherd (1846-1921). Jacob served in the 8th Division of the MO State Guard. That is all I know of his service. He is buried at the MO Soldier's Home in St. James. |
