Notes - Elizabeth is the daughter of Statira Edith Montgomery & Stillwell Willson the Younger.
. Joseph & Elizabeth Shepard owned a large 200 acre parcel of land on the south side of today’s Shepard Avenue between Leslie Street & Don Mills Road from 1849 until 1872.
. 1837 - After the Rebellion Elizabeth’s sons returned to Toronto.
Michael Shepard House,101 Senlac Road at Burnett Ave., Lot 17, Concession 1WY.
Built in 1859, the Michael Shepard House is constructed in the Georgian Survival style & assumes great significance in connection with the Shepard family that settled in the historic community of Lansing at the beginning of the 19th century. The House is also significant in association with Michael Shepard, who supported William Lyon Mackenzie's Radical Reform party & participated in the Rebellion of 1837.
Architecturally, the massing of the house takes the form of a 2 story main block with a one-and-a-half story kitchen wing positioned at the west rear. Incorporating a generous sense of proportion & a pleasing symmetry, the three-ranked facade of the Michael Shepard House is generally considered to be less common among Georgian buildings in the region. The Michael Shepard House has been recommended by the North York Heritage Committee/Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee for designation under part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (R.S.O. 1990) on architectural & historical grounds.
