Notes:
She has been, mistakenly, identified as Mary Shepard. She is now thought to have been Mary Power, daughter of Ralph and Thankslord Shepard's daughter, Trial, who married Walter Power in 1661. The Power farmstead was next to the Shepard farm in Littleton (then called Concord Village). The age of the girl on the marker is probably close to correct - Mary Power was born in 1663, and would have been about 12-13 at the time of the attack on her uncles, Isaac and Jacob Shepard.
She was captured in that raid (during King Phillip's War) but managed to escape, reclaiming a stolen horse and saddle, reaching the town of Concord Village.
