Hi I am related to the Shepard of NC. My mother was a Shepard and her mother was a Shepard. My great-grandmother is Mary Emma Shepard b. August 9, 1887 and d. March 15, 1956 in Carteret Co., NC. I have a Rebecca Fisher who I think is Mary mother or Aunt and Sallie no last name and a Mary P no information on them. All we know is that they came from Whitestone, VA. Mary P came to Beaufort as a cook with a white family. If you have any information on this Fisher who marry a Shepard. Mary husband name is William Shepard he was a Fisherman. No information on him either. Only that he stay with families in Carteret Co., NC.
