• Notes

  According to The Hathaways of America Book, In a power of Attorney filed by William Shepherd of Taunton he gives the right to "my loving brother" John Hathaway to handle his estate and split it among Shepherd's children upon his death. This may indicate that John Hathaway is his brother in law, thus John's wife Martha is William Shepherd's sister. However the will of William Shepherd's widowed mother, Martha, does not mention any daughter named Martha, although it does mention other children. Perhaps Martha already had her share and thus was not mentioned. Or perhaps "my loving brother" was meant in a religious sense. In any case, perhaps Martha was born a Shepherd, although the evidence is not conclusive.
