      Info - from book - Section - William Shepard of Taunton, page 337. WT 16. William Shepard (John2, William1), born about 1681, died after 1747; married at Salisbury, Mass., 5 Oct. 1704, Elizabeth Brown, born at Salisbury 29 Mar. 1682, died after 1747, daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth (Shepherd) Brown. He was called of Amesbury at marriage, and the marriage was recorded in both that town and in Salisbury where the bride lived. They settled in Salisbury and on 4 Jun 1711 William of Hampton, N.H., was a grantee of land in Salisbury [Essex County Land]. On 11 Sep 1715, Elizabeth wife of William Shepperd was baptized at the First Church, Salisbury, and had their daughters Rebecca and Jerusha (apparently the only surviving children at that time) baptized. However, William seems to have lived mainly just across the New Hampshire border.
