Author Bryan Prince tells us
The small family plot for 3 of Joshua Shepley's children is somewhere on
what was the 100 acre farm on the south west corner Middle Line and Shadd
Road. My g.g.g. grandfather, Isaac Brown" bought the farm from Shepley in
the early 1850's and the deed is worded so it excludes 1 foot surrounding
the graves of Shepley's 3 children. A remarkably moving sentence that is
added to the legal description. It is not specific as to location so there
is now no way to know exactly where it is. There is now several houses, a
recycling center, race track, Municipal garage and road department, etc.
