The first was Samuel Shaw Jr. My direct descendent was his son William S Shaw who moved to Elgin Illinois around 1830. Samuel and his wife Theodosia had eight children. They're buried at the Christ Church Episcopal Cemetery in Sherburne. I live only about 1 1/2 hours from there but have never actually been Sherburne. Their were: Mervin, Edmund Perlee, William Stewart, Hiram King, George W, Daniel, Harriet and Elizabeth. If you have any records of any of them I'd live to hear from you.
