First time visitor Seeking information regarding my SHAW ancestors and any possible Shaw relatives still living in Matlock, Derbyshire, England. My 9th Great Grandmother (I believe ) was Jean Editha Cunningham b. 23 Oct 1576 in Ashbourne, Derbyshire and died in Matlock. Her father is listed as Antonii Shaw. Was this a second marriage for her or was her mother's maiden name Cunningham? 9th Great Grandfather was Captain John Shaw. b. 1570 in Matlock d. 1620 in Conneticut - British American Colonies. Captain John Shaw arrived in Cape Cod in 1620 with his sons- Thomas, John and Edmund. Thomas who was one of the founders of Windsor, CT John b. May 1600 Halifax, Yorkshire, England and d.1664 Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. Plymouth Colony Pilgrim (husband of Alice, father of John, Abigail, James and Jonathan). Edward aka Edmund S. Shaw b. 30 Jan 1595 in Matlock. He settled in Fairfield, CT and then in Cape May, NJ. He married Anne Kellet and Jane Pierson in NY. Edmund d. 3 May 1665 East Hampton, Long Island, NY. I would appreciate any information regarding my ancestors. Thank you. Patti Lee Gates

There are a number of SHAWs in Danesmoor near Clay Cross, NE Derbyshire-three CROFTS sisters married 2 Shaw brothers in the early 1900s there. There is a very good Clay Cross site-worth looking at and a great Matlock and Wirksworth sites. My mother was a CROFTS. However neither name is uncommon. all the best Barbara ________________________________ From: Patti Gates <doog3@msn.com> To: DERBYSGEN@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, 7 April 2013, 16:54 Subject: [DBY] SHAW First time visitor Seeking information regarding my SHAW ancestors and any possible Shaw relatives still living in  Matlock, Derbyshire, England.
