William HANNA, b. abt 1853, Massachusetts;

2-2 Mary H. SAVAGE was born
08 Oct 1843 in Ireland and died 09 Apr 1876. She is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery, Clinton,
Clinton Co., IA. Mary was married 24 Jan 1961 to James Shepard in

Joseph W. Shepard, b. 25 Nov 1861, d. 01 Jun 1886, listed on 1880 census as a machinist
Mary Shepard, b. abt 1864
Ella Shepard, b. 13 Sept 1865, d. 05 Aug 1892; md. John F. Maloney, b. 06 Dec 1858, d. 12 Jun 1905
John Shepard, b. abt 1867 James T. Shepard, b. abt 1868, d. abt 1934, burial St. Mary's Cemetery, Clinton, Clinton Co., IA (became a professional musician in later life)
James Shepard of Clinton, Clinton Co., IA, is listed on 1880 census for there as having a wife named Ellen, b. abt 1844, with the above children listed under their names as well as the following: Elizabeth, b. 1878 Gertrude, b. Mar 1880 John Clark, b. abt 1867, stepson Peter Clark, b. abt 1873, stepson this family in 1880 is listed as living on the south side of 7th Ave., Clinton also found them listed in the various city directories at the same address on the 1900 census, James Shepard and Ellen are listed as being married for 37 years, and both emigrating in about 1860, so this is where some discrepancy comes in. One of my "distant" cousins sent a listing of the Shepards buried at St. Mary's and James and Mary Savage Shepard are listed on the same large family stone with the addition of Frank (who died in 1888, at age 2 yrs.) and Hannah T., who died in 1880 at age 6 months. And there is yet one other daughter listed for the cemetery in the same plot - Theresa, b. 25 Oct 1886, d. 17 May 1899.
2-3 Ellen SAVAGE was born abt 1846 and died 02 Jan 1873 at age 27. She was married to Andrew KELLY.
