Biography

William Shepard of Taunton.

It was proposed that William was the son of John Shepard of Towchester mentioned in his will as residing in New England. Despite supporting evidence, this has since been disproven by documents showing that John's son returned to England to take up his inheritance and died there. At this time, this William Shepard's origins are unknown.[1]

William had at least six children who survived to adulthood, possibly with a daughter of Nicholas Hathaway.[2]
