  3.   Elizabeth Shepherd, in Somerset, England, Church Records.

    Elizabeth Shepherd, daughter of John and Margaret Shepherd, was baptized 15 Jan 1636 (5 Jan 1637 in other transcriptions, so 5 or 15 Jan 1636/7) in Kingston Seymour, Somerset, England.

    Kingston Seymour is about 32 miles from Kingweston, and about 15 miles from the port of Bristol. It is not certain that this was the baptism record of Elizabeth, daughter of John and Margaret (Squire) Shepard, because there is no other known association with Kingston Seymour, but it is possible this was a place John and Margaret lived for a time before emigrating. Note that a Robert Shepherd, son of John and Margaret, was baptized the same date and place.

  4. Birth year estimated as 23 years before her marriage, taking into account that the average age for women at first marriage in New England at the time was 20, but her sister Hannah was 25 when she married.
