Sheapard, (1658-07-03 - 1685-06-08)

This is likely to be Thomas Shepard III (1658-1685). Thomas Shepard III was the son of Thomas Shepard II, of Charlestown. Thomas Shepard III was baptised on 4 July 1658. Shepard graduated from Harvard in 1676, and was ordained on 5 May 1680. He preached at Charlestown until his early death in 1685. A series of manuscripts belonging to the Shepard Family, including notes of sermons, is held at the American Antiquarian Society Library (Mss. Boxes S).
