37. G. W. Chamberlain, History of Weymouth ... 4 v. [Weymouth, 1928), IV, 630. The parents were Ralph Shepard and Thanks-Lord (_____), not "Thankful (Lord)", as alleged in print; the correction appears in Middlesex Deeds, Grantee,, Liber III, p. 105. The boy had "Gone to Cape faire" when called to answer on 23 March 1662/3, Middlesex County Court, Files No. 2196. This document, kindly reported by Thomas A Burke of Cambridge, when he heard that such references were being sought, led to the sine qua non, Files for Long vs Douglas. Parents: Ralph SHEPARD and Thankslord PERKINS.
