Shep's Place Family Tree

Abraham's father, David, gave him 153 acres of land in Sinking Creek Valley. He purchased another 23 acres from Snodgrass in about 1809. He purchased 33 more acres about 1823. On his death this 153 acres descended to his daughters ‎(D.B. 29, p. 440, Botetourt County, Virginia)‎. In 1846 "Susan Niday" had a life interest ‎(dower)‎ in 5.8 acres. This would indicate that Susan was the wife of Abraham.
