Judy's death certificate is the next place that I find both names.Judy Shepherd, age 64, died 11 January 1942 at Sandy River District, McDowell, West Virginia.The informant for the death certificate was Frank Shepherd, and he wasn't too well informed.He knew only that she had been born in Mercer county and that her maiden name was Cameron.The death certificate is here:http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view2.aspx?FilmNumber=1983633&ImageNumber=540http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view2.aspx?FilmNumber=1983633&ImageNumber=540

10 years earlier, in 1870, Andrew and two younger brothers are living with the Francis Mitchum family at Elkhorn, McDowell county, West Virginia:

The parents are a little confusing.His are listed as Jno and Ellen, hers as Andrew and Nancy.The marriage record is on line 44 here:http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=11390606&Type=Marriagehttp://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=11390606&Type=Marriage
