Sheppard was wounded. He refers for evidence of this service to the evidence furnished the War Department on his application for a Pension under the Act of March 18th 1818. He obtained a Pension under that act, but was stricken from the Pension Roll on account of his property. 
On the last of March or beginning of April 1777 he volunteered under Capt. Penniman, in the Militia for Six Weeks; and was stationed at the College in Providence under Gen. Spencer - there were no regular troops there. 
In Jany 1778 enlisted or volunteered under Capt. Craggin and Col. Sproat for three months and served at East Greenwich in the State of Rhode Island in guarding the coast. There were no regulars there. 
In August 1778 enlisted in Capt. Baker's Company and served Six Weeks on Rhode Island, under Gen. Sullivan. Was in the battle on the retreat when Capt. Baker was wounded and Joseph Johnson one of his comrades was also wounded. After the retreat from Rhode Island he was stationed at Pawtuxet. 
In 1777, after serving under Capt. Penniman, served as a substitute for one Ballou in Capt. Trask's company of the R.I. Militia for half a month at Providence which with his service under Capt. Penniman made two months. He has no evidence of this last time of service. 
He received but one discharge, and that was worn out forty years ago: he has no other documentary evidence of his services except the depositions herewith transmitted. 
He was born in Mendon (now Milford) Jany 13 1757 and has a record of his birth made by his father and now in his possession. At the times of his services he resided in Mendon (now Milford) and has since then lived in Mendon, Milford & Bellingham, and now lives in Milford. 
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a Pension or Annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State. 
Sworn to and Subscribed this day & year aforesaid.
