Records show that John Corydon Shepard was born in Massachusetts in 1834. I'd like to find out where in Massachusetts he was born and who his parents were.

He's enumerated in the 1850 and 1860 censuses in Sandisfield, Berkshire, Massachusetts. In 1850, he's reported as Corodon Shepard, age 16, living with Lyman and Elizabeth Boardman. In 1860, he's shown as John C Shepard, age 26, living with his wife Ann Jane (Bevins) and their daughter.

Elizabeth Boardman (from the 1850 census) is the sister of a Corydon Shepard. Corydon Shepard was born ca 1815. Corydon's son gave an affadavit in the application for Civil War disability pension of my John Corydon. So, I'm assuming that this Corydon is related to my John Corydon.

Thank you for any help you can give!
