Notes for Elizabeth Shepherd
From American McReynolds Families (http://www.dankat.com/kerr/apdx6b.htm):
...Elizabeth Shepherd McReynolds, the second wife of John McReynolds (1665-1760) emigrated to the United States with their four surviving children in 1738. The trip across the Atlantic apparently took six weeks, the provisions became exhausted and the passengers faced starvation. Fortunately another ship hove into sight and gave them assistance. Elizabeth and her children settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She died at an old age in the home of her son James in Appomattox County, Virginia. Her husband John remained in Ireland and lived with his children by his first wife. The genealogy of the descendants of Elizabeth Shepherd McReynolds has been painstakingly compiled. It is much too large to be repeated here and so we produce only a brief summary of the first few generations. The reader who wishes to obtain more information is referred to ``McReynolds. A Noble Clan'' written by William Howard McReynolds (1980) and available through the LDS library system. The following is largely taken from that reference.
