John Glenn's flight in 1962 made him the first American to orbit the Earth, while Alan Shepard's flight in 1961 was a suborbital flight, meaning he went up and came straight back down. Glenn's flight lasted longer and was more complex than Shepard's.
Was Alan Shepard the first man in space?
No, Alan Shepard was not the first man in space. The first man in space was Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet cosmonaut, who orbited the Earth on April 12, 1961. Alan Shepard became the first American in space on May 5, 1961, but he did not achieve orbit.
How many orbits did Alan Shepard make around the earth?
One. Shepard flew into space twice: Mercury 3, America's first manned space mission, and Apollo 14, the third moon landing. Mercury 3 was a sub-orbital flight lasting 15 minutes. Apollo 14 made one full orbit of the earth before TLI (trans-lunar injection), the refiring of the third stage rocket, that send the CSM (command and service modules) to the moon. TLI occurred halfway through what would have been the second orbit.

Alan Shepard became the first American to go into space. He was beaten by Yuri Gagarin just 23 days earlier but with hindsight had the United States Government not delayed he could have been the first man in space. But he did not go into Earth-orbit as Gagarin did. The first American to orbit the Earth was John Glenn and later Shepard was to feel overshadowed by Glenn.

How many times did Alan Sheperd orbit Earth in freedom 7?
Would you believe 'none'? Freedom 7 performed a sub-orbital flight, meaning it wasn't going fast enough to achieve orbit. The flight went as high as 116 miles up and landed 300 miles downrange of the launch site. In order to achieve orbit, a spacecraft has to get to about 18000 miles per hour or 8 kilometers per second. This was not achievable with the Redstone rocket Alan Shepard flew.
