Isabella Shepherd was born in 1822 in England, daughter of Ebenezer Shepherd and Isabella Swetman. Presumably she lived in New York, where her father died and her sister was born in 1827. In 1843 she lived in Pickering, Durham County, Ontario. After 1853 she married Jacob Peterson as his second wife, 34 years his junior. In 1861 and 1871 they lived in Picton, Prince Edward County. They had no children. Jacob died in 1878. Isabelle died in 1894 and was buried in North Fredericksburgh.
Isabella's sister, Elizabeth Mullett, lived in South Fredericksburgh until 1855, and it is likely that Jacob Peterson of Fredericksburgh met Isabella there. Elizabeth's son Shepherd Mullett was the informant in Isabella's death registration.
