hi from Ed again adding to the above Abigail Lord and John Patkhurst Shepherd were married in Brooksvile,Hancock county maine april 5 1828.John was a Sailor probaly a Captian, as was Abigail's father John Lord and Olive Stover, both from York maine married in Brooksville in 1800.The Stover family were ,also sea fairers.Abigail died in 1843.And shortly after John remarried Abigail's sister Olive.John was lost on the Schooner Susan Eliza in 1844.I have no info on his origins. His father may have come from Mass.or some feel he came from the Shepherd family of Lincoln Co. Maine William Shepherd born in Mass. (and Wife Lucy Brown born Woolwich Maine 1770)or one of his brothers.Others tie him to the Shepherd of York Connty Maine.Anyone have any info on him?Thanks
