T.C. Shepard

Although listed as T.C. Shepard consistently in the Expedition record, it is possible that his name is T.C. Shepperd. There is a T.C. Shepard who passed away in 1895, just a few years after the Expedition, and is buried in Hawkinsville, Georgia, which is the place listed as Shepard's residence in the Expedition record. The 1880 census lists a T.C. Shepperd in Hawkinsville, but this could be a misspelled name. He would have been 20 years old at the time of the Expedition. He was assigned to Mess No. 2.

Note about confidence of this information:

Unable to locate sources definitively identifying the T.C. Shepard who participated in the Expedition. However, given that there is a T.C. Shepard who passed away in 1895 in Hawkinsville, confidence is high.
