Other: Bohan Sackett Shepard and George Washington Shepard From Chapman Notes: 'These two brothers (Bohan Sackett & George Washington) of Grandfather Charles Shepard settled in Chicago, Illinois when the town was in its infancy in the early 1800s. From the Chicago obituary notices at their deaths in 1850 and and 1866 (respectively) they were men of distinction. Both were members of the Chicago Board of Trade. At the deaths of each in turn, resolutions were made by the Board of Trade and flags on all vessels were set at half-mast. Bohan in the Chicago obituaries was designated as Colonel B. S. Shepard but there is no record as to where or when the title was come by. He never married but died at "his residence" No. 3 Park Row, Chicago..¹
