Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the information about Shepherd. It looks like Shepherd may have had a wife (Sarah on a deed) by 1783, when he is on the tithe list with 2 whites in his household. John is nearby with 7 whites. These are sons of James and Mary Mize. John and his wife Keziah are the probable parents of John, Randolph, and Henry; this is the family that branched out into Pittsylvania County and North Carolina.
Apparently the John who served in Vaughan's militia company went on to join the regular army, according to Vaughan's return as transcribed in Katherine Elliott's book. I wonder if a man with several children would do this, or whether there was a younger John Mize in the same neighborhood.
We are definitely making some progress!
Maureen
