Revolutionary soldier VALENTINE SHEPPARD (W. 6032) was born in Germany. He  
was a British soldier under Gen. Cornwallis, but somewhere between Wilmington 
and Halifax, N.C., he deserted and joined the American forces. He fought under 
Col. Lytes Peyton on the South Carolina Line for one year. He served under 
General Greene and under Capts. Raiforce and Hale. He married on Feb. 10, 1786 
in Wayne County, Zilpha Temple (b. 23 Nov. 1787.) Their son, Reuben, was born 
in April of the following year. In 1821, they had two daughters aged 30 and
