s elected Captain of the Cambridge band, or military company, before 1652, and was described by Johnson as a Kentish soldier, a very forward man to advance martial discipline, and. withal the truths of Christ. He became Major of the Middlesex Regiment in 1676, and was very active in raising and furnishing troops in Philip's War. In 1681 he was appointed Major-general of all the military force of the Colony, and was the last who held that office under the old charter. He was trusted by Oliver Cromwell as a confidential agent, and was selected by him to assist in executing his favorite project of transplanting a colony from New England to Jamaica. He visited England twice, partly at least on public service. On his last return to this country, the two regicides, Goffe and Whalley, were his fellow passengers, and accompanied him to Camb. He was therefore denounced by Randolph as their friend and protector, and as the custodian of their scanty funds. In the troublesome contest which

He was Selectman 1638, Representative or Deputy 1639, 1640, 1644, 1645, Clerk of the Writs 1640, and Commissioner for small causes 1641. He had a military spirit, and was closely associated with Col. George Cooke; they came together, served here together, and returned to England, to serve together under Cromwell. He was the first Ensign of the military company here, organized in Dec. 1636, with Cooke for Captain. In Oct. 1645, he and his friend Cooke were excused from their duties as members of the General Court, being to go for England. In the Civil War, which commenced in England at about that time, both were engaged for the Parliament, Cooke as Colonel, and Shepard as Major.

Their situation became so uncomfortable, that she embarked for England, and did not return during his life. Judge Sewall records her departure thus: 1687. Tuesday July 12. I g
