Parents of George Larkin Shepherd

I am looking for the parents of George Larkin Shepherd.  George was born 10 Sep 1885 in Paulding County Georgia and possibly may be linked with the Shepherds who worked at "Sligh's Pottery Mill & Tanyard" in the 1870's and later in Paulding County Georgia.  This set of Shepherd's usually could be found around two other families "Brock's" and "Sligh's".  A few possible states could be Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.  George's daughter Leanna Shepherd married George Robert Sligh, Grandson of John Nicholas Sligh (Judge Sligh) who owned "Sligh's Pottery Mill & Tanyard".

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks!
