"HISTORY OF SHEPHERD AND RELATED FAMILIES" by Frank Shepherd
(1858-?) pub 1943 (Indiana State Library, Indianapolis, IN) "John
III was an enterprising fellow who, in this Twentieth century would
have been called a money maker, a colonizer. He was a shrewd Indian
trader and thoroughly knew their ways. He continued to add acre to
acre until he had a vast landed estate at his death in 1745 consisting
of 3750 acres and much other property."
