heirs of the last named, it was sold to the Corporation of Harvard College, and now forms a portion of the College Grounds. 2. Samuel, half brother to Thomas (1), a son of William by a second wife, came to New England with his brother, and purchased the estate on the southerly side of Harvard Street, extending from Holyoke Street to Bow Street. His house stood near the west end of his lot, nearly opposite to his brother's residence. By his w. Hannah he had Thomas, b. 5 Nov. 1638, bur. 9 Feb. 1649; Samuel, b.—Feb. 1639-40, d. 16 Mar. 1644-5; Hannah, b. 20 June 1642; Jane, b. 16 May 1645. Samuel the f. was much employed in the public service. The management of the College stock, and the carrying on the building begun by Mr. Eaton, was committed to Mr. Samuel Shepard, by the General Court, in Sept. 1639. 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

t. 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. Mitchell in his Church Record, commenced in 1658, says, Major Samuel Shepard and his wife, now living in Ireland, do yet stand in memberly relation to us. He had then probably been in Ireland several years; for, under date of 8 March 1649-50, he wrote from London to Deac. Edward Collins, appointing him attorney to manage his affairs in New England, and saying, I am within a few days to be in Ireland, if God will; but the next letters will, I hope, settle me. （Mid. Reg. Deeds, II. 57.) Administration was granted to Edward Collins on the estate of Samuel Shepard deceased 15 Sept. 1673. Probably this was the same person. 3. Edward, whether a relative of the foregoing is not ascertained, bought a house about 1639, on th

; Jeremiah, b. 11 Aug. 1648. Mr. Shepard was one of the most eminent clergymen in New England. To his reputation for grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, is to be chiefly attributed the location of the College here. Such confidence was reposed by the General Court in his skill and integrity to discover and guard against danger, that they preferred to place this institution of learning under the shadow of his wing rather than elsewhere. His valuable life was suddenly terminated 25 Aug. 1649, at the age of 43 years; his wid. Margaret m. Rev. Jonathan Mitchell 19 Nov. 1650. The death of Mr. Shepard occasioned a general lamentation and gloom throughout New England. He resided on the northerly side of Harvard Street, nearly opposite Holyoke Street. That spot of ground may justly be regarded with veneration, as the dwelling place of many eminent and pious men. It was successively occupied by Hooker, Shepard, Mitchell, President Leverett, and the two Professors Wigglesworth, fat
