Biography
http://www.wellswooster.com/tree/getperson.php?personID=I12994&tree...
Robert Shepard was born say 1505; died probably at Redgrave, co. Suffolk, between March 1560, when his son Henry was baptized and mentioned in an undated codicil to Robert's will and 3 Feb. 1650/61, when his will was proved; he married Agnes ____. In his will, he bequeathed land, livestock, farm implements, and furniture to his wife and children, and his wife was to fulfill his obligation to the children of the deceased George Bettes. The death date of his wife Agnes is unknown; she was still alive when her husbands will was proved. Even though Robert had fifteen children, the mother of all of them was likely the wife Agnes he named in his will. His son Thomas seems to have been the oldest living son at the time the will was written, and Robert requested that Thomas let "his mother" be in charge of the land for three years. Thomas was born before 16 Feb. 1539/40, when he was named in his grandmother's will.
