labulletgirl — 2009-11-05 17:27:22Z

There is another family of Shaws that came to Maryland originally in 1715 as endentured servants. They moved down to Georgia, eventually settling in Walker County. Some of the children of Amos Shaw moved to northern Louisiana. Amos is my ggg grandfather, and I'm working on rebuilding that part of my database after a computer crash. I also live in Louisiana, close to New Orleans. I'll share any info I have.

theshawclan1 — 2009-11-01 03:55:43Z

I am a participant in the Shaw Y-DNA Study researching several brothers who first came to PA before 1730 but soon migrated to Old Austa County, VA prior to 1745 and then Old Orange and Johnston Counties, NC during the 1760s including John, James, William, Joseph, Timothy, Samuel Hugh, etc.. We do have positive Y-DNA connections to Botetourt/ Wythe County, VA and Orange County, NC before the Revolutionary War. John Henry Shaw (1763 NC - 1827 AL) was my GGGGreatGrandfather. His brother was James Henry? Shaw born in VA about 1761. James married Martha "Patsey" Irwin about 1785 in Orange, NC while John Shaw married Mary Margaret Irwin on 11 August 1788 in Washington, NC. These families all took Land Grants in TN and later went down the Natchez Trace settling in both Central Mississippi and the Red River of Louisiana in the early 1800s. Many family went to TX and West before and after the Civil War. I'm also reseraching related Irwin/ Erwin/ Irvine, Wyley/ Wylie/ Wylly, Hunt, Bagwell, Malone, Irwin/ Irvine, Morgan, Chancellor, Black, Lee, Fulcher, Merrill, Dumas, Spiva/ Spivey, Huston/ Houston, Allbritton, Simpson, and other family backgorunds from VA, NC, TN, SC/ GA, AL, MS, LA, etc..

My grandfather, Washington Irving Shaw, Jr., and his wife, Margaret (Enos) lived in LA. My father, William Graham Shaw, was born in New Orleans in 1912. This Shaw line descends from Colin Shaw who came to NC from the Isle of Jura.

Looking for any info about this timeframe and/or before. I have very detailed information descending but need more info about possibly John's father.

mikeshawmikeshaw — 2009-10-25 13:16:05Z

Good luck on your search. You appear to be on your way. The following may not help but you can never tell:

The "Shaw Neighborhood" in Washington, DC is named after Col Shaw and the plaque that honored him at the Boston Commons was moved there several years ago. The monument to ALL black civil war soldiers is also there and Col Shaw is listed on it. You might gather more info on him by "visiting" the Webpage associated with it. White officers are listed right along with the African-Americans.

Some years ago, the Clan Shaw Society (a Scots heritage group) interviewed a nephew of Col Shaw -- perhaps it was your grandfather -- and donated a book to the Shaw library in Washington. I have a copy of the book somewhere in my library but cannot recall the name at the moment.

My name is Shaw and I was told I was descended from an officer who led a black unit in the civil war and when I heard about RGS I naturally assumed he was the one. But as I became interested in genealogy I learned all my Shaws came from the south. More research revealed that my Major Orrin M. Gross (also listed on the monument above) led a U.S. C. T. artillery unit.

If you have specific questions, I suggest you refer to the sources above and the genealogist for Clan Shaw Society. I will also answer any questions I can, but I know less than the people above.

Hi....you don't give a birth year for David Shaw..but I found these census entries that seem to follow:

1880 Census

Pocono, Monroe County, Pennsylvania

Oliver Shaw - age 45 b. Pennsylvania. Shoemaker
Rebecca Shaw - age 48 b. Pennsylvania. Wife
David P. Shaw - age 16 b. Pennsylvania. Son
Stephen H. Shaw - age 9 b. Pennsylvania. Son
Lilly L.B. Hull - age 3 b. Pennsylvania. Grandaughter

I couldn't find him in the 1900 census.

1910 Census

Stroudsburg, Monroe County, Pennsylvania

David Shaw - age 46 b. Pennsylvania. Married 26 years. Laborer/Odd Jobs.
Hannah Shaw - age 43 b. Pennsylvania. Wife. Married 26 years. Mother of 12 with 8 living.

Thelma Shaw - age 2 b. Pennsylvania. Daughter.

1920 Census

Coolbaugh, Monroe County, Pennsylvania

David Shaw - age 54 b. Pennsylvania. Widower. Works in ice plant.

He was living as a boarder in the household of Frank Hay & family.

Livinia Shaw - age 52. Widow. Boarder
Raymond Shaw - age 16. Boarder
Janson Shaw - age 13. Boarder

Did they separate at some point?

Re: Descendents/Relatives of William Herbert Shaw and Mary Elizabeth Sharrow

William Herbert Shaw and Mary Elizabeth Sharrow were my grandparents. They were both born in 1887, and were married 05 Mar 1906 in Matawachan, Ontario. They had at least 8 children, one Alice Olive Delina, and another William Henry Delbert. I have found 3 other children of Isabella McDonald and James Sharrow, Lillian, Sarah Jane and Melissa (spelled Milisa on the 1901 Census for Clarenden and Miller, Addington, Ontario). I have newspaper reports for Isabella McDonald, and her obituary. I also have pictures of both James and Isabella.

Re: Doesn't anyone have Shaws from South Carolina? 1700-1800's

memaw2008 — 2009-10-02 22:48:33Z

I, also, have SHAW family from the same time period. Yes, it is frustrating because I have also hit brickwalls. My gr-gr-gr grandfather, William B. Shaw was born in South Carolina in 1801. His wife, Jinnat McCorkle was born in 1802 in South Carolina,(I do have info on her side of the family). I have no info on my William B. Shaw's parents or siblings. I have read that William B. Shaw's father was also William Shaw and he fought in the Revolutionary War and was of Irish descent from a Parke County, Indiana Atlas, where he migrated around 1830 or so with Jinnat and children. I have no info on William Shaw, Sr or his wife. No one has been able to connect my 4th great-grandfather via Bible records to my family for sure. I'm not sure your ancestor is the same as mine...but it sure would be great if we are connected! Do you have a William B. Shaw in your family? You can email me at memaw2008@comcast.net
