This leaflet gives genealogical details of the family of my father, Daniel Shepardson, whose life was largely connected with the village of Granville, Licking County, Ohio, and some account of allied families, 1. Daniel Shepardsox, blacksmith of Charlestown, Mass., coming from Salem. Admitted to the Church in Charlestown 8 June, 1633. Removed to Maiden, where he died 26 July, 1644. His wife was Joanna , maiden name and date of marriage unknown. She survived her husband and married (2) Thomas Call, Sr, She died 30 January, 1661. Children: i. Ltdia Skepakdson, bapt. 24 July, 1637; m. (1) Thomas Call, Jr.; (2) Thomas Skinner. Child, Joanna Call, b. March, 1660. 2. li. Daniel Shepakdson, bapt. 14 June, 1641 (1639?). ill. Joanna Shepardson, bapt. 13 March, 1642; m. November, 1661, Rog- er Kennicut of Maiden, and later removed to Swanzey. Children, Joanna, Lydia and John. 2. Daniel Shepardson (DmiieV) succeeded his father as black- smith at Maiden. He was a freeman of Middlesex County, Mass., 29 May, 1674, and took the oath of fidelity 15 December, 1674. He married, 11 April, 1668, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Call, Sr., and widow of Mr. Samuel Tingley of Maiden. He removed to Attleboro where he had fifty acres about half a mile from "Old Tov/n" on the Bay Road. He lived to an advanced age and was long called "old goodman Daniel Shepardson." He came near losing his property at one time as the Attleboro records indicate. So far as known his children were: 1. Daniel Shepardson, b. 11 July, 1669; lieutenant in 9th Mass. Regt. against Canada in 1691 where he died 11 March, 1691. He may have married and had son John, b. 22 July, 1685, d. 15 October, 1685. il. John Shepardson, bapt. January, 1671. 3. iii. Nathaniel Shepardson, bapt. 28 October, 1680. iv. Elizabeth Shepardson ; m. Robert Fuller, 19 January, 1699. v. Mart Shepardson; m. Joseph Ingraham, 11 April, 1700. vi. Joanna Shepardson ; m. John Fuller, 22 December, 1701. 3. Nathaniel Shepardson (Daniel,'^ DanieV) may have moved from Attleboro, Mass., to Rehoboth, where two of his children were baptized, although all are recorded in Attleboro. His wife was Mary . Prom similarity of names and some other circumstances, he may be the one referred to on page 236 of "Hinman's Connecticut Settlers" as "Nathan- iel Shippason, widow Mary, of Hebron, estate £207. He died 1718. 3 > J 55^ 2 SHEPARDSON. Children were Jonathan, Nathaniel, John, Elizabeth, Mary, Mercy, Joanna, and others." Children recorded in Attleboro: 4. i. Jonathan Shepaedson, b. 20 September, 1706. il. Nathaniel Shepardson, b. 26 March, 1708. Hi. Elizabeth Shepardson, ( . ,, iv«-„,, i^m Iv. Mary Shepardson, 1 °- ^^ ^^^^ ^'^"• V.

I., and finally settled in Templeton, Mass., where he died in 1790. He married, 9 May, 1730, Abigail Fuller, who was born 6 July, 1704, daughter of John and Joanna (Shepardson) Fuller. Joseph Shepardson, who gathered extensive notes about the family, all of which were destroyed by fire before publication, reports that Jonathan's wife, "Merriam, died in 1771 very aged," and says children were Jonathan, born 3 January, 1735, Nathaniel and Joanna. The Attleboro records show no other Jonathan of this generation who might be confused with this line, and show children: 1. Nathaniel Shepardson, b. 18 June, 1731; lived in Cumberland, R. I. il. Jonathan Shepardson, b. 21 May, 1732, d. early. 5. Hi. Jonathan Shepardson, b. 19 January, 1734; perhaps d. early and name given to son b. 3 January, 1735. Iv. Abigail Shepardson, b. 17 April, 1736. V. Mart Shepardson, b. 10 October, 1743, d. 30 March, 1745. vl. Mart Shepardson, b. 1 May, 1746, d. 31 March, 1752. Perhaps also: vii. Joanna Shepardson ; m. 6 December, 1781. John Christianmillar. 5. Jonathan Shepardson (Jonathan.* Nathaniel,^ Daniel," Daniel^) married in Attleboro, Mass., Miriam, daughter of Isaac and Sarah (Carpenter) Follett, who was born 11 February, 1733-4. In 1768 the family moved to Templeton, Mass., having possibly lived a while in Cumberland, R. I. They removed in 1790 to Royalston, Mass. They both died the same day, 3 December, 1804. Children: i.
