Pipkin/Shepherd family
I am wondering if anyone has information on Estella Shepherd Pipkin 1871 - 1939, married to William (Willie) Lee Pipkin in 1889.These were my great grandparents.
I have, like all of you, traced G'pa Willie's line back to John Pipkin in NC, but have been totally stumped in finding any information on G'ma Estella.I have been told that she descended from the Shepherd that came to the New World on the Mayflower and whose signature is on the Mayflower Compact.However, I cannot even find the names of her parents anywhere.
If you are a member of the Pipkin family in Texas, who still has ties to the Shepherds, please contact me.I would really like to find these ancestral records.
Thank you,
