    1. Irish Shaws
    2. Joe/Larry: my ggggrandfather, James Shaw, was born in Belfast, Ireland (County Antrim), in 1757 and came to York, Pennsylvania, and on to VA. and ended in Campbell Co., KY. I have not found his parents and/or siblings as yet, nor have I any documentation on his birth other than his Revolutionary War documentation. JoAn Graham

    1. Can anyone direct me to someone that does research (professionally) for assistance in locating where Daniel Shaw was before he appeared on the 1790 tax list in Mercer Co., KY? I hope this is not inappropriate to ask on this site. I have searched to my wits end. Thank you Susan Shaw Gardner

    1. I need help - BRITT, MORRIS, MARSHE, SHAW in Bertie County, NC
    2. PRSmith
    3. A year or so ago, a researcher living in Bertie Co. took a series of five pictures for me of tombstones "Located in a Weyerhaeuser cut-over in front of what was old Cashoke School on NC 45." First, I'd like to get a more precise location of those graves. When I visit the area, I want to visit them and since the school no longer exists, I could use some current address/landmark information. A GPS reading would be ideal if some lives close by and can get a reading for me. Second, I'm having a hard time figuring out who's who from the photos. Here's what I've got (in chronological birth date order). James Monroe BRITT 1819 - 1901 Margaret Anne Britt (2 photos) 1828 - 1897 James Thomas MORRIS 13 June 1846 - 21 April 1922 Mother Margaret Anne Britt Wife of James T. Morris 30 May 1855 - 5 December 1928 Now according to my records (which are pretty rough): Thomas MORRIS m. Susan MARSHE ---- James Thomas MORRIS (19 Jun 1848 - 21 Apr 1922) James Monroe BRITT (1819 - 1901) m. Margaret SHAW ---- Margaret Ann BRITT (30 May 1855 - 5 Dec 1928) If the stones are correct, James Monroe was nine years old when Margaret Ann was born - not likely. So who was Margaret Ann BRITT born 1828 and how does she fit into the picture? Also, does anyone know where Susan MARSHE and Margaret SHAW were buried? How many graves are there at that site? THANKS!! for your help!

    3. To all Shaw family researchers, I haven't posted for several months and now am getting back to my research. I have some lost Shaw's from Tennessee and Virginia.Have been looking for the parents of Rebecca Shaw c. 1779 and Mary Shaw c. 1800(Tennessee) from Smyth or Washington Co. Virginia. Rebecca is shown as HOH in 1830 in Washington Co. and Mary is HOH in 1850 and 1860 Washington Co.No Shaw listed in 1840 except Charlotte Shaw. No husbands listed. Were supposed to be Irish in decent. Family extensions of Mary's children at Colley, Moore, Henderson, Taylor by marriages. Does anyone have any info ? Thank You, Georga Foster [email protected]
