Biography

Temperance Wisner I was born on 8 January 1761.1

Temperance Wisner I married Cornelius Vanderhoof, son of ??? Vanderhoof, before 1792.1

Temperance Wisner I married Capt. Colville Shepard, Sr., son of David Shepard and Sarah Bradner.1,2

Temperance Wisner I died on 11 March 1829 at age 68.1 She was buried in Amity (Hamlet), Warwick (Town), Orange County, New York.1


Sharon Pearce wrote on www.rootweb.com: Temperance Shepard, a widow, is on the 1813 and 1815 lists, as is Jesse Sheperd; a Jesse Shepard appears in 1815 "for Colvin." .
Would anyone have an idea what appearing "for Colvin" would mean? The Shepards and Colvilles were intermarried at Amity, Orange Co. (also this family included the Bradners.) I have been told the wife of Abraham Shepard, b. 1737, herself named Temperance, died in 1768. On this census, this Temperance's married name evidently was Shepard .
