This particular stone has two sides to it.  One side includes James 1775-1843, 
Hannah (Gatchell) 1781-1839, Job 1824-1844, and Emanuel 1827-1844.  I am a 
descendant of this James Sheppard.  James's first wife Hannah died before him 
and he remarried.  Hannah is buried here with him.  Job and Emanuel are two of 
James and Hannah's children.  Listed on the backside of this stone is James A. 
Sheppard 1835-1907 and Mary E. Freeman 1834-1927.  This James A. being a 
grandson of James and Hannah.  James 1775-1843 was very important to the 
Belmont County area.  He has a small dresser that he hand made in the early 
1800's that is kept on display at the Ohio Historical Society.  He was a 
significant land owner in the area.  There is a book that was written in the 
1970's that details James's family.  It was written by Lillian A. Sheppard and 
is titled "Sheppard Marshall and Allied Families."
