>>Thomas Shepard's mother, Elizabeth Shepard (b 1721 d. 14 Aug 1785 in the
>>Georgetown District (Marion County) of South Carolina) was also the
>>mother of John Robarts (Roberts), Sr (b 2 Feb 1739/40 d.17 Apr 1786)
>>Her first marriage was to Abram (Abraham) Robert (b. 1721 in French
>>Santee, South Carolina died about 1751 in Colleton County SC). The
>>second marriage was to James Shepard.=20

>I've added this.
Here's the result:

>>>From James Shepard's will we know that John Roberts,Sr. first married
>>James Shepards' daughter.
That part hasn't made it into the database yet.
>> After her death, he married Mary Lambright on
>>23 September 1765.
That's in the above chart.
> Their son John Robarts, Jr. married first Mary Baker

>I concur. See Huguenot Society S. C. reference below.
>>and then Elizabeth Quarterman.

Probably I should add disclaimers to these charts to say that they
shouldn't be used as sources themselves; they're only illustrations
of conclusions from research by various parties.
>>Robarts genealogies list Elizabeth Shepard's father as the William
>>Shepard listed on the Midway Church roles and his death as 1802 in
>>Liberty County.
>>
>I have a problem with this William Shepard dying in 1802. If his daughter
>Elizabeth was born in 1721, he probably was born about 1700, this would
>make him 102 at death.
Interesting. Not on the charts yet.

For those who don't recognize the source, the author is Senator Sam Ervin
of Watergate fame. He was also a genealogist.
