Perth Co., Can., Oct. 8, 1835, and is a son of Simpson and Sarah Shepherd.
His father was born in England, his mother in Ireland. The occupation of

farm in the Dominion and came to Michigan. He bought 160 acres of land in
Barton Township, has placed one-half of it under improvement, and has good
and suitable farm buildings. Mr. Shepherd is a Republican in politics, and
himself and family belong to the M. E. Church.
