Research Notes
Disputed Origins
- A previous version of this profile claimed, without source, that she was daughter of Robert Sheppard and Elizabeth Spencer, but a) Elizabeth Spencer would only have been 11 years old, and b) sources support only 3 sons and one daughter Anne for Robert and Elizabeth. [citation needed]
Other Notes
- Lancaster Co., VA Court Orders 1652-1655
- Power of Atty. 14 Jan 1650/1. Will HARRIS to "beloved friend" Jas. ASTELL to collect a/c for John SHEPHEARD. Wit: John BYRAM, Charles HILL, Michael TOP, William THOMAS. pp. 85-6[4]
- John Sheppard, who was Burgess from James City Co. in 1644 may have been a brother to Robert, and William Sheppard (mentioned in connection with William Newsom Sr. as having bought land of Newsom in 1640 which was later inherited by Henry Bannister).

Lancaster County and Surry County - when they were created in the 1650s are not near each other. Surry County was created from James City County in 1652. Lancaster County was created from Northumberland County in 1651. ~ see this page.
Also, in looking through the changes to see if when it was added to the profile might shed some light, I found a source that was deleted & wondered if anyone knew why:
I have had to guess for many of the particulars for her. I know that she m. Faulke Jones and had a dughter by the name of Elizabeth (based on the marriage of 1661 to Thomas Lane. ) She had at least 2 sons Thomas b. 1662 and Joseph b. 1670 (based on Surry Tax Records). I also know that Faulke arrived in the Surry area in 1642.(Nugent, Cavaliers). I also know that daughter Elizabeth Jones was under 15 when her mother m. Thomas Lane. (marriageable age that time.) Now did Faulke wait the 7 yrs of indenturement before he m., thus m in 1649? Thus daughter b. abt this time and would be 12 at time of the Lane marriage. I assume that Elizabeth was in her late 20's or early 30's when she had her 2 sons. If she were 16 when she m. Faulke, thus b. 1633 and 28 when she m. Thomas Lane and had Thomas Jr at 29 and Joseph at 37.
I had found a second Shepherd in Surry who d. about 1653 in Lower Chippoakes, Surry. There was a wil for a William Shepherd according to Davis, Surry Records. Do you know if the original is available?
Please let me know your thoughts. I am looking for a Shepherd plantation, not Robert's in the same are. Thanks, Dorothy Coltrin.
Is it possible this Elizabeth is the "Eliz. Davis" listed along with Jane Hemlocke and Thomas Harecourt as one of the eight persons transported by Robert? I see:

Next question: how do we know the maiden name of this Elizabeth?
1: Genealogy.com. Home User Trees Kevin-Howard-Walters. 2: Genealogy.com. Home User Trees Opal-H-Hooks.
The info I wish to provide is the following. 1. date of birth for Elizabeth Spencer Sheppard Warren. In 1624 her Father William is listed as living with his wife and daughter Alice. His son William Jr. is listed as being among the dead. William had 4 children 1. William Jr. 2. Alice. Who I can find no record of after 1624\5. 3. Elizabeth who is not mentioned before 1624 so her birthday has been estimated to be after or about 1624. 4. Anne. Who has descendants.
Then there is mention of Elizabeth Spencer's marriage to Robert Sheppard and their 3 sons and only daughter Anne. All descendants of Robert Sheppard the 3rd come from her. The Lanes, Harts and Jones are her descendants.
3. The children of Thomas Warren and Elizabeth Spencer. Boddie states " they may have had a daughter." Elizabeth Warren, Warren-1794 married John Hunnicutt, Hunnicutt-11.
5. The children of Robert Sheppard and his first wife and the children of his marriage to Elizabeth Spencer are mentioned in the marriage contract to Thomas Warren. 6. There is no mention of an Elizabeth being a child of Robert Sheppard and Elizabeth Spencer. And the Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Warren and Elizabeth Spencer was married to John Hunnicutt until his death and she executed his will. Thomas Warren's fourth wife. Jane was wittness to Elizabeth's marriage contract.
So Elizabeth Shepherd Lane is most likely a descendant of Anne Sheppard. There are still many discrepancies in the Robert Sheppard 3 profile.
7. Elizabeth Spencer Sheppard Warren died around 1654\55 most likely in child birth or shortly after the birth of her daughther Elizabeth. Who was raised by Thomas Warren's fourth wife Jane King. Who is mentioned in later business affairs of Elizabeth Warren Hunnicutt. So there were no more children for her. No possiblity of another Elizabeth. I don't have the wikitree skills to tackle those. I hope I at least helped a little.
