(Ralph Shepard married) St. Bride Fleet Street, London, 21 May 1632 Thankslord Perkins [TAG 67:29]. … Some sources give Ralph Shepard sons John and Walter [Ralph Shepard 49-50; Weymouth Hist 4:630; DeHR 14:28]. There was a John Shepard of Concord who was the right age to have been a son of Ralph, but no record connects him with Ralph. Jacobus treats this John Shepard in a separate section and does not suggest any connection [Shepard 3:51-91]. … Walter Shepard apparently came directly from England in 1661 or shortly before; no connection with Ralph Shepard is seen.
