“James Paine Shaphard, my father, was a physician. He married Miss Rebecca Sloss, my mother. He lived most of his life at a village in Tennessee called Middleton (because it was half way between Murphreesborough and Shelbyville). He emigrated to Texas in 1846. We traveled by emigrant wagon, coming out at night. We were out 49 days but rested on the Sabbath. At that time there was not a railroad either in Tennessee or anywhere south of that state. My father settled in Washington County, Texas, near where the town of Chapel Hill is located and died there in 1850 and is buried at that place.”
[Information provided in personal correspondence from Ruth S. Moore of San Mateo, California, dated 13 June 1997, quoting from letter from Joshua Harrison Shapard dated 15 June 1906 to Mrs. Cora Barrow, his daughter.]
