Historically Speaking: Dr. Sheppard's Medical Account Books from Meadow Farm, Henrico

Historically Speaking: Dr. Sheppard's Medical Account Books from Meadow Farm, Henrico

The account books of country doctor Dr. John Mosby Sheppard of Meadow Farm in Henrico span nearly three decades from the antebellum, Civil War, and Reconstruction periods. Because his patients included whites, free Blacks, and enslaved persons, these records provide valuable insights into the local history and genealogy of both white and Black families. Henrico County Recreation and Parks historian Lisa Denton will provide background information on this fascinating resource, the latest discoveries, and the project's plans for the future.
