"Various genealogical researchers have arrived at different compositions of the family of Isaac Sheppard. Some have listed 13 children as the family of Isaac/Margaret and no children from the marriage of Isaac/Mary Lambert. Others have shown only four children as the offspring of Isaac/Margaret with nine belonging to Isaac/Mary Lambert. As a result of research of census data and various probate papers, we believe the following is a reasonable composition for the two families. However, further research is required to be more definitive.

Isaac died on 11 December 1839 at his residence in Matthew's Prairie. It is believed Isaac may be buried in an unmarked grave in what was known as the Sheppard Cemetery (S5, T26, R16) in Mississippi County, Missouri." Jack Howell Sheppard (1929-1997)
