=== Note ===Donald Lines Jacobus laid out the circumstantial evidence for his tentative identification of John Shepard of Westfield in "The Shepard Families of New England (Gerald F. Shepard, comp., Donald Lines Jacobus, ed., 3 vols. [New Haven, 1971-73], 3:93-96). The evidence presented suggests that John was the son of an elusive William Shepard, who supposedly died in Boston when John was a boy. Little is known about this William Shepard. Westfield Proprietors' Records show that John Shepard had ten acres of land laid out to him to satisfy a grant made to his "grnadfather Hart." This could be no other than Edmund Hart who died in Westfield in 1673 leaving eight daughters, one of whom apparently married a Shepard.
Jacobus refers to a letter from the late Louis M. Dewey, the Westfield historian, in which he states, "An Experience Shepard has land here early enough to have been the mother of John Shepard." A William Shepard was divorced by his wife Experience at the Connecticut General Court of 18 October 1677. Thus, it would appear that William Shepard married Experience, daughter of Edmund Hart. Among other evidence cited by Jacobus is a manuscript written by Enoch Shepard, a grandson of John Shepard, dated 12 September 1812, in which it is stated that Enoch's great=grandfather was William Shepard who came to New England about 1660.
Two documents have since come to light which add to the circumstantial evidence concerning William Shepard and tend to confirm Jacobus's tentative conclusion that he was the father of John Shepard. Whoever John's father was, he apparently had a grant of land in Westfield at one time. The list of John's lands recorded in Westfield Town Records includes a six-acre parcel of swamp land laid out to John Shepard "to Satisfy a grant made to his father" )"Land Grants and Highways From the Early Records of Westfield", typescript, 1896, 1:2:59 [Family History LIbrary (FHL), Salt Lake City, film #1,502,828]). Although the inventory of John's land is not dated, there can be little doubt that the proprietor was John Shepard, as the next property listed is the ten acres laid out to satisfy the grant of his grandfather Hart. It is unfortunate that John's father is not named in this document. Nevertheless, it places John's father in the same town with Edmund Hart.
The inventory of the estate of Edmund Hart, late of Westfield, was taken on 15 July 1673. Anmong the obligations owed to the estate was a debt of L1 18s. due from William Shepard for a mare colt and a young sow. (Hampshire Co., Mass., Probate, 1:148 [FHL film #79,184]). While no relationship is mentioned in this document, it shows that Edmund Hart was acquainted with William Shepard at approximately the time that John Shepard was born.
It seems likely that William Shepard was a resident of Westfield prior to 1677, when he appeared in Connecticut. It was probably in Westfield that he became indebted to Edmund Hart. It is highly probably, in light of this and the other evidence presented by Jacobus, that this William Shepard married Experience, daughter of Edmund Hart, and that they were the parents of John Shepard of Westfield.Source: [[#S55]] Page: vol 70, no. 2; pp. 82-83; "William Shepard, Father of John Shepard of Westfield, Massachusetts"; Clifford L.
