  • Notes 
    • Tom Shepherd owned and operated, a grocery store, a barber shop in Burnett, Indiana, and a saloon in a settlement north of Terre Haute, known as Highland. Tom Shepherd, as well as many other Shepherds in the area, changed the spelling of their surname to Shepard, circa 1895.

      Census data for years 1860 and 1870, show Thomas Franklin living in households with Catherine Finley. Catherine Finley's family were tenant farmers, living next to John Shepherd, in the 1850 and 1860 census. She is assumed to be his caretaker or guardian.
      There is no DNA evidence that shows any relationship between Catherine Finley and Thomas F. Shepherd, through either the 23andme, AncestryDNA, or FamilyTreeDNA testing sites.
