John Shepherd (Australian politician)
John Shepherd (1849 – 8 April 1893) was an Australian politician.
He was born in Melbourne to John Shepherd and Eliza Audley. A solicitor, he moved to Sydney around 1873. On 25 October 1883 he married Margaret Kennedy Yorston Ballantyne, with whom he had a daughter. In 1877 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Wellington; he did not contest the subsequent election in 1880. He returned to the Assembly in 1885 as the member for East Macquarie, but was defeated running for Paddington in 1887. A Free Trader, he served his final term on election to Paddington in 1889, and did not contest in 1891. Shepherd died in Sydney in 1893.[1]
